I did a video shoot and it seemed everything went well. Recorded on a windows 10 machine with the following settings:
1920X1080
NTSC 59.94i
bit rate 16
Profile - H264Baseline
Audio Bit Rate 192

So I have a nice MP4 file. It plays fine on the W10 box.

Transfer that over to my W7 machine and I can't play nor import it into Premiere 5.5....This has never happened before. What can I do? I figure its a CODEC problem, but what CODEC do I need.

Any help MOST appreciated. I need to get these files edited and sent to client asap.

Did you use that little program to convert the mp4 file? It's in the program directory,run that and it will work ,if u haven't done so yet

What is the name of that program? This would help...but I am totally confused as to what happened. I gave up that night, shut the computer down - went back the next night, imported all the files into Lightworks, exported them in MP4 format, copied them to my editing machine and this all worked. The next day, I went in to finish up, and the files could be read and played - except one. I installed nothing, made no changes that I am aware of - and the problem solved itself....maybe there are little Microsoft elves, lurking on all the discussion forums, reading of MP4 issues and coming in the middle of the night to fix things.

Project done. Thanks for the post, I will go and seek that program.

If you have installed vMix, you should also have the program "vMix Video Tools" installed on your PC, which enables you to convert video files, as I remember it's mp4 files that can be indexed or something like that, to be able to playback correctly in e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro.
