.mov files in Premiere

I am having no luck getting some HD .mov files to import into Adobe Premiere. Premiere tells me I am missing a codec.

Is there a Windows version of the Apple Intermediate Codec?

The footage was recorded with a JVC camera onto a Firestore DR-HD100 drive.

I have tried a couple of 3rd party codecs, such as DivX, an update of Apple ProRes, and activation of Quicktime Pro with no success.

.Mov files are supposed to be native to Premiere. Does anybody know why this is happening and what the solution is?

You'll need to convert the files (from the original source) using a different codec.

I think so, but I was trying to avoid this step. The files won't play in the regular Quicktime viewer on my machine either. I can hear the audio track, but there is no video. The problem with converting is finding a lossless file format that my cinematographer can create on his Mac that won't give me fits on my PC.

We need to know more about your source files, editing software and platform and export codecs.

That codec should work just fine for your purposes.

I have tried it a few times and each time the installer tells me I already have a later version. It must be included in the latest version of Quicktime. At this point I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling QT Pro-- Same result, audio but no video in the QT player.

It might be the absence of some sort of JVC codec, possibly m2t (?), but I can't find a download for that.
