Hmmmm. If the clips you're importing have the same frame rate, resolution, data rate, codec settings, and audio characteristics (stereo vs. mono, compression etc.) as the file you output from your editing system, I woud think they would add up (1 + 1 = 2). If those conditions are met and it's not equaling "2", I'm afraid I'll have to plead ignorance and hope someone more familiar with the .AVI format responds. little_dragon, are you out there?

Before they made me they broke the mold!
