Problems uploading video into Adobe Premier 6

by carlo2343 Feb 5, 2005 12:58AM PST

Ok, so I already have video that is captured but it was given to me on a burned cd, and there are about 25 video clips. Whenever I try to import them into adobe premier 6.0, it says

Unable to open that file
File is an unsupported type
File path E:\so-cent-7.mpg

(That last part is where the file is coming from, directly off the cd from my e drive and the name of the file)

I've tried several things such as file converters etc, and nothing seems to work...Anyone have any idea as to what I can do to make it work?

System:

Windows XP
AMD Athlon Processor
1.06 ghz
512mb of ram

don't have the code/decode software, Adobe Premier will be unable to read the file. You probably need to convert it to a format that Premiere can read.
