I think I have the same question, and recently posted it but no replies. Is this problem simiilar to yours? (I posted a sample on Youtube you can see from this link):

What is the source of your AVI files? (What kind of camera, etc.)? I think that has something to do with it but I’m not sure.
One way or another, let’s see if we can figure it out. This weekend I will try to convert some of my AVI’s in Pinnacle and see if I can edit that converted file in Premiere Pro. Seems like a waste to have to do that though to edit what is really pretty basic stuff.
