Default Importing problems with premier pro...

I have Premier Pro 7. I'm having problems importing certain avi videos into premier. While other avi's do import correctly, certain one's dont. Each time I try to import, I get this "Importing video" (or something like this) window, but nothing happens, it just stay there.
The only thing that I found in common with all of these videos that do not import, is that they all have the Lame MP3 audio format. Video's which have different format, are imported with no problems. So there's a high chance that this is the problem, but how do I fix it??

Thanks in advance.

No, I cant do that. I will be using alot of videos. Reencoding each one of them will be loads of work!
I just dont understand this. It cant be a codec problem because I have Lame MP3 installed....

Open up the video in VirtualDub - it'll throw a tantrum if you've got VBR audio.

Alright, first thing when im loading the video in virtualdub, there's a message where the movie is supposed to be, saying: "Warning: Nothing to output bframe decoder lag".
Now, there are 2 "Play" buttons in virtualdub. When I press the first one I get a message: "Error initializing audio stream compression: The reqested convertion is not possible. Check to make sure you have the required codec." I do have the required codec by the way...
When I press the second one, the movie runs, but there's no sound...
