Won't give me full file

[Guest]

I took some videos with my digital the other day. It saves it as an avi file
type. One file is just over 3 minutes long-- just about 120 MB. But when I
bring it into movie maker, I only get 1 minute and 6 seconds of the file.

Why?

avi is just awrapper, MM only works with dv-avi properly, so you need to
convert the file to wmv to be able to use it, as I guess your digital stills
camera takes mjpeg/divx type compressed avi files.
