Ok, thanks. Since you have that camera you will be a great help to Tim. Just
for the record, my JVC's record to its internal hard drive, and they also
split video files, keeping them to around 3.4GB max which is about 13-14
minutes (at 1920x1080i). With JVC, that is no problem: no frames are lost. I
offload the files (Windows Explorer works just fine), run them through the
TOD -> mpeg converter, then import them into Premiere Pro. Since the camera
time-tags the files I know which is part 1, part 2, etc., and when placed on
the sequence timeline, they snap together perfectly; audio and video are
correct with no lost frames or duplicate frames.
So why Sony thinks they have to "stitch" large files together into ever
larger files escapes me entirely.

Lee,
Using Explorer is exactly what you should not do.
You MUST use the Sony software.
When Tim wrote that the file was MPEG, I assumed that he had recorded in SD.
If he records in HD (AVCHD) he should get an .m2ts file and also a
separate file containing the Metadata
which in my case is again a .cmuprops file.
There is another reason to use the Sony software.
The SD card will be formatted FAT32 which means a maximum file size of 2Gb.
If you copy the files with Explorer you will loose frames. The Sony
software will stitch long recordings to
one file again.
Tim, did you record SD or HD?
