Capturing Video does not split into clips

[Guest]

Hi, I read the entries in this db about video clips not splitting. Do I
understand the following correctly?
Capturing video from a digital handycam will split into clips based on a
time change. So the start/stop buttons in the Capture Wizard won't force a
clip if a time change is not present, correct?

When I use my older Sony handycam, the video splits into clips. When I shot
the video, I toggled between Standby and Record to capture plays in a
football game. I get clips where I went back and forth from Standby to
Record, so I assume that is where timestamps happened. When I use my new
Sony handycam, even if I use the Start/Stop Capture buttons, I do not get
clips. I toggled between Standby and Record to capture the football plays
just like with the old camera, but I don't get any clips. I assume that my
camera probably doesn't create timestamps. So the best thing for me to do
would be to figure out how to make my camera create timestamps, right?

Thank you!

=========================
Just one thought...on your
Movie Maker...Import File screen...
is there a check in the box
"Create Clips For Video Files"?

Well, Okay then...I guess that's been ruled out )

I wonder if indexing the file with Windows Media
Encoder would make any difference?
