Thanks so much for your reply. Your story is almost identical to mine.
My wife takes the pictures of our two grandsons and I'm supposed to do
the rest. Sounds like you're way ahead of me. I've never worked with
AVIs before and I haven't done much burning - although I have the
capability. I also have Nero 9. I don't know how to put this - but my
biggest hurdle right now is how to sort the AVIs by date taken and,
although you explained what you do, by the time I get the capture card,
the shoot order is not in order anymore. You see, other people add
their own files to our capture folder. Trust me - I need to find a way
to put the AVIs in shoot order (Date Taken) preferably in the same
folder as the JPGs (but separate folders can work too) and I can't
figure it out. Also, I don't know what you mean by "motion wall menu."
What is a multi-track DVD?....and what is VLC Media Player? Thanks so
much for your help.

I have a folder which contains many *.jpg files and many *.AVI files.
The file names are whatever the camera assigned to them (no
description). I have been sorting the folder by Date>Descending. This
woeks for my JPG files - but separates the AVI files (puts them on the
end of the list as if I had sorted by Type. It seems as if the AVI
files are not recognized by DATE. To partly solve the problem
temporarily, I placed all the JPG files in a separate folder and sorted
the same way. This works - but the AVI files are now separated from
the JPG files because they're in a separate folder (Both the JPG and
AVI files were taken with the same camera and I would like to keep them
together in the same folder which I would name first with the date
taken and then a short description). Now, with the AVI files all alone
in their own folder, I tried to sort them by Date in descending order.
However, no Date shows up in the listing with details. At the bottom
of the attribute list is an item which says 'More.' So I checked
everything that had the word Date in it and tried sorting by each of
them. The most obvious one (I thought) was Date Created. These dates
do not represent the date the movie files were taken. I need some help
in sorting all my files and, another thing that would be helpful would
be definitions of all the possible attributes for the AVI files. Hope
I chose the correct Groups to post this in. Perhaps someone can help
me out or point me in the right direction. I am using Vista Premium
Home Edition. By the way, the email address is true should someone
want to use it. Thank you............
Each few weeks, or monthly, I unload a friends camera of snaps and
vids taken of her now 2.25 year old grandchild. Neither of her
stand-alone players will play the AVIs created by XP, Vista, nor
Windows 7 from her USB interfacing camera. So I copy the .AVI files
from the capture folder, which is simply named for the yyyy-mo in
which she took the pictures, and make an ever growing DVD (using a
convertX project) with a per-episode "motion wall menu." I also copy
the .JPGs and write that folder to a multi-track DVD. Last, I extract
and snaps/vids which are not about the child from the capture folder
to a MISC folder.
On her PC she can play the .AVIs (which are 15 fps motion JPEGs) and
.JPGs intermixed using VLC media player. She retains the "shoot"
order because of the default incremental numeric file names created by
the OS's included capture software. On her DVD players she can play
the videos as a DVD or the stills as a slide show, but they are on
separate discs because of her hardware limitations.
Thus the chapters of the DVD and the folders of the snap shots depict
the ascending days and months of the child's life. As do the merged
files in the folders on her PC.
Twice so far she's given me a list of folder\file numbered names to
remove from future optical disc creations before she distributes to
family and friends.
