It sounds like AE does not recognise the codec associated with the AVI files.
I'm curious though. The MV730i is a miniDV camcorder right? It should produce DV AVI footage at (assuming it's the PAL version) at 720 x 576 pixels, 25fps, with either 16 or 12 bit stereo PCM audio @ 48,000Hz
The file properties associated with your AVI files in the AE program photo show numbers like 320 x 240, 12.5 fps, 16000 Hz, 16 bit Mono....
What the hell happened to your footage?
Did you capture the footage via firewire?

I filmed, and it was saved on a memory stick I've inserted. No tape left you see.. Is that why maybe?

I think it is the most likely reason for your problems, but I am no expert on After Effects. Your clips are good enough for Premiere to work with, it seems, because they have generated thumbnails in your project window.
Are you trying to do a dynamic link thing whereby you use AE to work on material in the Premiere timeline?
Maybe rendering the clips on the Premiere timeline first may help, or try exporting them as DV AVI clips, then re-importing them and working on them from there.
Hope this makes sense.

I had the same problem and was able to solve it using SUPER! I converted the avi to a DV AVI clip and all was well.
