I need to join a series of multiple clips (mts) taken with a Canon HF10.... altough I can open it without a problem in Sony Vegas, in this particular case I want to avoid the extra rendering time just to make one clip from all the clips taken on the camera (no need for edition this time)... is there a way or software that can do just that ???

any help would be greatly apreciated...

Regards

Google "video file joiner" and you will find a load of shareware / freeware programs that claim to join various files; you may or may not have to convert (or rename) your files for them to be recognized. This link may give you some clues: AVCHD - join MTS files (http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/avchd-join-mts-files-t331722.html)

I think you can do it from the MSDOS prompt too, using the copy command.
