John T Smith Feb 8, 2014 7:43 AM (in response to cl92700)Exactly what is inside your file?
Codec & Format information, read both links in reply #1 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1270588
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... A screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

5. Re: AVI file import only the audio track
John T Smith Feb 8, 2014 9:30 AM (in response to cl92700)Playing a video and Editing a video are NOT the same... you need to have an edit codec installed for Premiere Elements to work
Again... camera brand/model ?

6. Re: AVI file import only the audio track
Bill Hunt Feb 8, 2014 9:35 AM (in response to cl92700)Claude,
I can view those avi file with VCL which mean (?) I have the necessary codec on the machine.
While VLC Player is very good, there is one aspect of it, that can give one a false "sense of security" - VLC Player contains many CODEC's, that are not installed on the system. The same is true for MediaPlayer Classic HC - it also contains many CODEC's, that are not installed on the system.
Usually, an AVCHD (H.264 CODEC) file will have an MTS, or perhaps MP4 format. Wrapping such a file in AVI is not standard.
If you look at the file in MediaInfo (Tree View), the exact CODEC should be determined, and listed.
If it IS H.264, then my next question would be whether you have the latest version of Apple's QT Player installed, as that should also install the Apple version of H.264.
If you have an MJPEG CODEC file, wrapped in the AVI wrapper (much more common), then you will likely need to install an MJPEG CODEC. Here, it can get a bit tricky. Two suppliers of "generic" MJPEG CODEC's, MainConcept and Morgan, will usually work just fine. However, more and more camera mfgrs. are heavily tweaking the MJPEG CODEC, to suit their purposes. In those cases, the MainConcept, or Morgan, might not work 100%. In those cases, I recommend that one install the exact MJPEG CODEC, that came with the camera, whether Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Olympus, or other. The exact MJPEG version will most likely be on the utility disc, that came with the camera, but it might install as a separate entity (not as common, as it should be), it might be installed with the camera's driver (a bit more common, but no where near universal), or it might be installed along with either an editing, or cataloging program, on that disc (most common, and not that intuitive). For instance, I have 5 MJPEG CODEC's on my laptop - one from Morgan, MainConcept, Canon, Nikon and Panasonic, as I have cameras from those companies.
Again, MediaInfo will tell you what the CODEC is, inside the AVI wrapper.
Good luck,
Hunt
