Divx avi to a compatable avi to edit in premiere pro 1.5

[Grumpy_one]

I have several tv shows in divx avi format. PPro 1.5 will let me import it, but it is just a black screen with no audio. I converted it to mpeg using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5, but when it is rendered in 1.5, the video is choppy and sync is off. All I want to do is be able to edit the avi files in PPro 1.5. Is there a way to convert divx avi's to avi's I can edit? Basically I want to put the episodes onto a dvd. Thanks

could it be that you don't have the audio codec, or that the audio is AC3 (which PPro might not accept) ?

Post a screenshot from Gspot or AVICodec

I decomressed the audio in TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 before converting it to mpeg. Here is the divx avi before conversion.

Here is the mpeg of the same avi after it was converted in tmpgenc, and rendered in Ppro

Well I just played back the mpeg in the default player (winamp) and it plays fine. Ppro doesn't like mpeg's on the time line I guess. So it turned out ok, but I still would like to know how to convert divx avi to editable avi, thanks.

I use the Microsoft Mpeg-4 v2 video codec myself when I edit in Premiere pro. It works flawlessly for me. However, I did have problems until recently. To get the audio (I was using an mp3 codec) working, I needed to install the old DivX audio compressor (3.11a codec). Here's the link:

Just install the .inf, and you should be fine.
