Does the newly created longer .MOV file play in full with QuickTime and other players (VLC) as well? When I've joined multiple .AVI files to create one large one, I usually have to go and do a little bit of tweaking to the newly generated large file to change it's indexes, otherwise it only plays the first .AVI length and then stops..

The long .mov movie play very well with QuickTime and VLC. But the export file is very small, it only save the first section of the big movie in the .wmv. And the .wmw is playing very well also but it's too short. How does it know that was made with several movies and took only the first movie to make the conversion?

I'd suggest creating the large .MOV as you have and then open that in Quicktime Pro if you have't and export it to .WMV..if that's what you did, then I'm not sure why QT Pro didn't export the whole video..
