Question：I agree with jagbest's Friday May 8 request. The answer he copied from Chris is difficult to know how to apply.
Here is what happened when I uploaded a 45 minute musical performance from my Mini DV camera. (This was running footage that contained only one camera break in the middle.)
When uploaded, Windows automatically broke the video down into seemingly randomly determined 'clips'. I retitled each clip in order to know what was what from the performance. (Movie maker did not break the performance up logically, ie between musical numbers, or at clapping.) Next I edited these short clips Windows had created toward getting them into the 8 musical pieces from the performance. I did this by splitting certain of the clips in order to edit out excess recorded material between musical pieces. I next moved the "good" clips to the storyboard sequentially and added transitons between each of the 8 musical pieces from in the musical performance. This resulted in the needed logical flow: musical piece, transition, next musical piece, transition, etc.
I would like to set the DVD's "scenes" at the logical transitions between musical numbers. They are currently all over the place and are seemingly random. I believe it is being said that you do things prior to uploading your film (or something?) so that the movie maker detects clips the way you want it to? How is this accomplished? Many thanks.

If you uncheck the box...'Create clips for video files' on the Import File
screen...your movie will not be broken into clips. Then you can split it
yourself (Ctrl_L) anywhere you like to insert still shots or transitions.
As for the Scenes in Windows DVD Maker...have a look at the following
article and be aware there is a hard coded limit of 18 scenes.
Read the section:
"How are scenes created for my DVD?"

John Inzer - MS-MVP Digital Media Experience
Answer 3：John Inzer's reply was prompt and was very much appreciated.
However, my Windows Movie Maker did not display the specified prompt. (I have Vista if that makes a difference.)
My Import: I first selected "Import from Digital Video Camera"
After this the given options were for 3 file types (AVI, WMV- single, WMV- one file per scene).
I was not given a box to uncheck entitled 'create clips for video scenes'
I did upload a short clip in each of the 3 file types above to see if one of them would eliminate the random scene designations. In all 3 formats Windows automatically divided my short movie clip into clips of its own choosing.
May I please try again with different instructions? Many thanks.
