Hello

When I import an AVI file into windows moviemaker, longer then 18 seconds,
the imported clip is only 18 seconds long. The orginal AVI-file is for
instance 34 seconds and in explorer it gives the right lenght. I've tried for
instance not to make clips when capturing the video or clip, but nothing
seems to help. Is there a maximum filesize for a videofragment in AVI-format
or is something else wrong?

I'm using a Sony camcorder, connected with firewire, but as said, the
orginal file on the harddrive is complete.

Who knows the solution?

Sounds like a corrupt file or some other problem with the file.
You could try reindexing it with "Windows Media File Editor" available as a
free download from Microsoft.

Thanks for the reply. After opening it in wm-encoder it imported well in
windows movie maker. I don't know how but it worked. Thanks very much

It worked because the encoder reindexed the file.
Glad I could help.
