VISTA video input

[Randy]

The following choices come up in VISTA when inputting video from a Sony
digital camcorder,
1) audio video interleaved (single file)
2) windows media video (single file)
3) windows media video(one file per scene)
Also when I input video from Sony digital camcorder using #1 above, many of
the "clips"contain more than one "clip. I used #1 above. Could this be the
problem?

=================================
If you do not want clips to be split into
smaller segments...try unchecking the box
"Create clips for video files"
on the Movie Maker Import File screen.

John, I'm sorry, I didn't make my self clear. I do want the video split into
the smallest possible segments. ( I will make sure that the "Create clips for
video files" is checked.)
Can you tell me what each of the 3 choices listed below does?

You said..."Could this be the problem?"

What problem are you referring to?

As for the 3 choices...

Here's my guess.....

1) audio video interleaved (single file)

Creates an .avi file<

2) windows media video (single file)

Creates a .wmv file<

3) windows media video (one file per scene)

Creates one .wmv file per scene<

John, Thanks for defining the "3 choices".
My problem is several scenes were contained in a single file when I used
"#1".I would like to have only 1 scene per file. Looks like I should use
#3. Will try #3 next editing secession.
Thanks,
RR

You're welcome.

Left us know if #3 works as expected.
