Guest letterman@invalid.com Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 My digital camera makes short one minute .AVI videos. I often record the full minute, then hit the button to get another minute. I'd like to find software to paste the two pieces together, and maybe edit out some frames. In the least, I'd like to make still photos from individual frames. Does anyone know of any software I can download to do any of this? Must be for Win98. Freeware preferred if possible, excessively bloated software not needed, just something simple. Thanks for all advice

Please explain. Gary was added to my killfile long ago. I dont care to read his rude posts on this or any newsgroup. But I can see his useless recommendation in this followup. I was asking for program recommendations, not how to use Google. If I wanted to use google, and install/remove a pile of junkware, I could do that without his advice. There are tons of program downloads online, most are demos, many are junk, some contain spyware. I dont use my computer to test junk, which can be dangerous. This is why I asked for advice of a safe and useful program, which others use, enjoy, and recommend. I stated what I am looking for to eliminate things that wont work, such as XP software.

I wonder if any are here on this group and, if they are, whether they will tell you! If *I* had wanted to make progress, I'd have explored some of the 278,000 leads that Gary kindly provided and then, perhaps, come back here for advice before actually downloading specific software onto my PC. Might still be worth a try! <wink> FWIW Dave --

It looks like something I was looking for, except for some reason, it will only show the first frame in my camera videos. When I click on the PLAY arrow, it will not play them. Any idea why? These are just standard .AVI movies from a Canon digital camera.
