I'm pretty new to video capture and editing. I had been using a camera
whose 1 hour's worth of video could be captured in one AVI file using
WinDV. Now, using a different camera, the WinDV capture results in a
separate AVI per scene (each press of the Record button). For an
hour's tape, I have at least 45 AVI files that I now have to sort out.
Most of them (if not all) I'd prefer to have connected (or 'appended').
Is there any way to do the appending or somehow manage this mess of
files? Or, is there some option I could use in WinDV to prevent this
in the future? (I made no changes in WinDV since I used it with the
previous camera.) I'd appreciate any advice.

Most capture apps have settings that allow you enable or disable "Scene
Detection".
