Very slow handling of AVI files

My AVI files are too large to post. But you can recompress theok8577996's posted files with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v utvideo out.avi
and you'll get a sample AVI file that Premiere has trouble with.

Ha Dani,

You have a look to this download

https://tkooijmans.stackstorage.com/s/MrlAu2S9Nlp1MakV

The first 2 are AVI files (DV25) with long duration

steps

Set taskmanager to show network load

puts these AVI's on a NAS with gigabit connection to you edit PC.

Try to open them from the NAS in Premiere CC2025.

result

it wil take a long time, can be minutes

try to edit in a timeline and switch to another app, like explorer.

result

when you switch back to Premiere, it lockup while again loading the whole AVI file.

also have a look to

screen capture DV bug with network.mp4

There is also a rar file with CC2023.

Extract that to a folder and start CC2023.

Try above steps,

result

- no delay with opening the AVI's

- no wait, or lockup while editing and switching to other apps.

Hi @rgr2, @Masa72, @theok8577996, I hear you on how frustrating this is.

Might any of you have any sample files you would be willing to share with the team so we can test out?

Thanks,
Dani

And is something happening in this case?

Hi @rgr2 
I'm facing a similar issue with After Effects, and I see that similar reports were made last year in Japanese forum. But I think the issue is not fixed.

Since that is an issue with After Effects, I will create a separate thread. I'll post a link to this thread there.
Thanks,

Yes, I get the "media pending" message and waiting for the correct frame to appear takes several minutes. During this time, the HDD load is 100% and the processor is basically 0% -- as if Premiere had to read the entire file every time.
I have "High Quality Playback" turned on, because the filters require it.
A bizarre situation -- I have to load the AVI file into Magix Vegas or VirtualDub, there I quickly find the number of the frame I need, in Premiere I jump to it and wait several minutes for it to appear.
Someone wrote above that the problem exists after the CC 2023 version -- does that mean that no one knows about it and is not working on it?

Thanks for the reply.

You mean they haven't fixed a bug in 2 years that would require immediate fixing?

The only known fix for now is to install cc2023. Please see my other post.

Same happens with native DV25 avi's
