Loading .avi files into Premiere Elements 2018
Like others before me I am having difficulty loading .avi files into Premiere Elements. These are old family films that we have used a converter to digitise from VHS tape.
I have tried converting the files to mp4 using Handbrake but the sound is all over the place on the resulting file. I have tried using VLC media player to covert but the resulting files are unplayable.
Any suggestions? I am new to all this - maybe there are settings in Handbrake I should be applying to get the sound to work?
Here are the results for my file from MediaInfo:
