Alright so for X-mas i got a samsung sd card camcorder and i was trying to upload some footage into adobe premiere pro. It said my media was offline even though it was pluged into my comp witha usb/firewire cable. So i used the program they gave me to import them and then put them on my desktop hoping to just straight import them into adobe. There all MPG4 which adobe doesnt have file format of so that didnt work. now im stuck.... Thanks ^.^

You could try uploading the videos as MPEG-4 and then just converting them to whatever format you want with WinFF
