Need Premiere Readable

[pyropawz]

I have a video file. It is an .avi with Audio MPEG Layer-3, bit rate of 56kbps, and a frame rate of 29 f/s and a data rate of 90kbps. When I try and open this file in Premiere it gives me an illegial error and has to shut down. I've tried coverting it into DivX, and even an uncompressed .avi file using Virtual Dub, but I get the same problem each time. Does anyone know what I could convert this file into so that I will be able to use it in Premiere?

premier WILL accept avi..do what you did "uncompressed" avi and then also convert the sound to a wav..then make sure the project settings in premier are set correctly.
