Wing Commander CIC

I've been working out the details for doing a music video with the Hi Res WC Academy episodes. I was going to cut everything together in Adobe Premiere, because I have a free and legal copy and my brother was an instructor on Premiere-hence the free copy.
Anyway, I've been able to watch the episodes just fine, but when I try to import them into Premiere it doesn't recognize the compression, but from the error message it seemms to recognize the file type alright.
Anyone have any tips?
