I was able to iimport a couple of old home movies into Collections to be
edited, but there is that one that simply won't import after the first three
minutes. It just freezes. I know there is more there than three minutes
because I am able to play the entire film which takes three hours. There is
enough room on the hard drive. What gives? The file extension is mpg, and I
use Win XP.
