You can always decompress it first, then import as raw YUV and audio.

Another way would be to convert it to DV AVI (the format that Premiere likes the most).

I don't know, but maybe VirtualDubMod can open MP4? If so, download and install the Panasonic DV Codec (if you don't have it already) and save out to DV AVI using that.

how do i decompress it cause the second reply didnt work.

is it a mp4 file? or avi?? or mov?

if mp4 or mov try MP4Cam2AVI and then try import it in premiere.

and doesn't the camera come with some tools where you can convert to other video formats?
