Software that makes multiple avi files from mini-DV tape
Solution 1:
I forget where I found the link to it, I went with WinDV. It's small and works, it will automatically name each avi with a serial number. It seems to drop frames a bit more than I remember Roxio do, but these are jerky home movies anyway, so that doesn't bother me.
Solution 2:
Sony Vegas' capture software can do this. However, this might not be an option because of its price.
Much better alternatives are discussed in this thread. Their advice is AVCutty and DVdate. Another software capable of splitting your video is Exsate DV Capture Live .
Solution 3:
Adobe Premiere Elements will do the trick aswell.
