okay, so i took a couple short videos with my digital camera. while shooting, instead of hitting the button to end the video i just turned the camera off.

the videos play fine in windows media player, except that it says they are only 3 seconds long…when it gets to the three second mark the video keeps playing even though they’re supposed to be finished.

i wouldn’t really care about this except that i wanted to edit them together and add some music. when i try to do so in windows movie maker or adobe premiere it only sees them as 3 second clips and won’t keep playing them. is there any easy way to change something so windows movie maker or adobe premiere sees the clips correctly?

thanks in advance 🙂
