Well, it was a long night and has been a long day. Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 played the video, after I updated codecs. Before that I just had a black box where I should have seen a thumbnail of the video.

After hours and resolving that, I had no audio from the video. Reinstalled an earlier codec that gave me sound on the Vista machine. Success in media player, but not in Premiere Elements. Around 3:00, I went to bed.

Started again this a.m. — no success. Downloaded and installed Adobe Premiere Pro, still no sound with AVI files, yet a MOV file created using another camera works as does an AVI in media player. I think I have a codec issue.

Called Adobe–no support for trial version. I still got helpful information–use Quicktime Pro to save the file in another format [preferred uncompressed AVI]. Done [for $32] and it works. Finally I can move on to something else–import of itunes mpeg4 files. Use CDex [free download] to extract itunes music burned to a CD–working…

CDex is an application that records audio tracks from CDs and saves them to a disk as regular WAV files or as encoded sound files. This program features an MP3 decoder (MPEG 1/2/3-based) and a new LAME encoder, and has built-in support to generate OGG Vorbis files. CDex is available in English, German, Italian, and Spanish. This latest release includes better support of USB drives when using Native NT SCSI library option and various bug fixes.

It is now 5:40 p.m. I have burned a music CD and extracted the music to WAV [MP3] files. SUCCESS! Now to import into Premiere Pro–MORE SUCCESS!!

[Thanks to Adobe Technical Support for the suggestions--each worked.]
