splitting avi files

[Rachelle]

I've written in the past about time/date stamp coding for my home videos. The vDTS software helped me with this. However I am losing my "splitting". My original AVI file has say 25 clips in an hours worth. I can see all of the separation of my clips in Windows Movie Maker but not in Roxio's Videowave. When I stamp my file, I get just one very large clip. What do I need to do to get my splitting back (multiple clips) or how do I not lose it to begin with? The support at vDTS says this, "vDTS does not split or combine your video files. i.e. for every input file, there is on output file. One file may contain multiple clips (scenes) though."

I'm not sure about how VDTS works.

 

In Media Manager, when I split the scenes, they are saved in a media folder associated with a date. In Video Wave, when I go to add video/images and the window opens, I select the media icon rather than the folder icon. In the window, I can then select the date and all the scenes are there.

 

Perhaps it works the same with VDTS. i.e look in the media files rather than the folder files.

When I look at My Media, and the video folder, I have zero documents.

Then you probably have Media Manager turned off. You should be able to navigate to where you have your videos and they should show up. I don't know how you can get to the scenes if, when you navigate to the video, it doesn't have some indication that there are scenes. Sorry.

 

A lot of people don't like Media Manager but I have it managing only my videos, my photos and my music and it is not a hassle. After the initial cataloging of the folders, I don't even know it is there.

 

I'm sure someone else will step in to help.
