Hi everybody. I am trying to import some movie files from my HDD, about 250 short home movies. I have two types of movies, one lot taken with a casio compact camera (010 .avi) which import no problem, but the large majority are taken with a sony compact camera (mov00914.MPG) that just will not import. I am going out of my mind. Is it the file type?? All these movies are stored on my HDD.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

It doesn't recognize .MPG file formats, unfortunately -- I had the same problem
