This is so strange.  I am trying to import files into premiere aned the systemn just hangs. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, i've updated drivers and most other things.  Anyone know what else can be holding it up.  These are mp4 files used with a avermedia capture device and also some files converted using wondershare.  This has never happened beofre and I can't figure it out.  Any help would be appreciated.

Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot the properties of your media in tree view:

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Hand brake to convert to constant frame rate:

That is VFR and should be converted to CFR before importing.
