  <p>Usually DirectX comes with a DirectShow DVSD decoder. But maybe this decoder has some issue with your file(s).
  Could it be you've had at some time software by Pinnacle, Sony, MainConcept, etc on your old system installed, whose DVSD decoder could have been used by Premiere Pro instead?</p>

Answers.Text: It is worth noting that you would likely have to export on the old system though.  If Premiere can't handle the file, there is a relatively good chance Media Encoder will also fail to handle it.

  <p>Hi!
  I used to work with premiere pro CS4.1 now I'm working with CS6, I moved to project folder to        my new computer, but when open it I get an error "damaged or un-supported file"
  The AVI file works fine in CS4(at the old computer) and in media player in my new computer. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks you all for your answering :) </p>

Comments.Text: As Professor Sparkle pointed out, we really need more information about the file.  Most likely it sounds like a codec issue.  There are multiple types of codecs that can be used by different programs, most likely the type that supports the file is not the same type that is used by Premiere.
