I haven't used premiere since version 5 so take whatever I say with a grain of salt but in Premiere 5 getting files into a project was a bit misleading. Hitting file -> open would allow you to open premiere project file but could not be used to open clips. To open clips into a project you had to go to file -> import. But like I said, I haven't used Premiere for a few versions so this could be completely changed.
Oh yeah, also, in Premiere 5, AVIs and MPGs were natively suported but MOVs needed a plugin.
