I captured appx 20 min of footage via DV import(record) into MEP. However, when I drag the file to the timeline, it only gives me 1.23 seconds of the file no matter how I import it. My .MOV files and such work fine, just not the DV/AVI...Why am I only getting 1.23 seconds?
(MEP+20, WIN 7)
Scott, weird, because MEP loves DV-AVI! Fastest timeline in The West! That said, I think (it was years ago now) I rarely used MEP to actually capture; too unreliable.
I would suggest you try changing the file from type 1 (or 2) to the other with:

Sounds dodgy but Paul has been at this for years and his program helped me a few times with wonky DV-AVI files; I'd change to the other type and it would come in to MEP without issue.
One thing to check: for 20 minutes, the file should be about 4gb.
I've just gone through my notes and I used this program to capture DV:
Good luck!
