Body: <p>I am trying to import some .mov files into Adobe Premiere project, but I keep getting the following error message "Codec missing or unavailable", this only happen for certain .mov videos which have been recorded with certain camera, but videos from other camera like canon with the same extension .mov can be imported without any trouble.</p>

  First off, codec packs are often more problem than they are worth. They tend to cause conflicts as much or more than resolve them. You are far better off targeting the particular codec that is needed. If you look at the information about the clip, it should indicate the codec that is used within the MOV and you should then be able to get that particular codec for your machine.
