Hi VApilot,
Thanks for the info... the MPEG files are not that big - ranging from 2meg to 50meg - but it wont import any of them...
I have them all on my hard disk, so none of them are coming straight from the camera. It does however import mpegs from other sources without any issues?
I have gone onto that Adobe forum and posted my question there too, hopefully some answers will be forthcoming...
Thanks again!
Edit: As an aside to this, I have also discovered that if I try to import said videos into Windows Movie Maker it too hangs and crashes, and again I did not have this issue on my old laptop... funnily enough though WMM will still happily import any other mpeg - ie any mpeg that was not captured on my camera?????
