Your post lacks crucial info:
What is the format of you footage?
What frame rate was your footage shot?
Interlaced or progressive?
What are your encode settings in Encore b/4 you import your AVI?
exported the files to Movie Microsoft DV Avi
Why are you doing this?
Can’t you export straight to Adobe Media Encoder from the APP sequence?
I don’t know if you can w/ older version.
