Premier Pro 7 Import problem

[natwod]

I have several large DV avi files (10+ gigs) which I captured using a third-party program, and I am trying to import them into Premier, but Premier only seems to import the first 5 minutes correctly. After that, it will only display the frame at the 5 minute mark.

I tried setting an in and out for the import, but same problem. If the i/o points were after 5 minutes into the clip, only a single frame lasting whatever duration was imported.

This is not just a lag or something, I tried exporting from premier and it was the same.

Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like the other application used Type 1 AVI format. Use Type 2 AVIs to overcome this file size limit in Premiere.
