sorry if this is in the wrong spot....

ive been using this camera for about 2 years now, and ive recorded a lot of footage. but lately, when i upload the video files from the memory stick to my computer, the media players only play the first 3 seconds of the clips. and when itry to load them in a video editing program, same thing. has anybody seen this before, or provide me with help? thanks in advanced.

You first need to find out if this is a problem with the camera or your
computer (more likely). See if you can play them fully on other computer
systems (friends, family etc.). If so, the problem is with your computer.

If not then something must be awry with the camera, but again I think
that would be unlikely. If something is wrong it would be more logical if
you didn't get a movie at all or with corrupted content etc.
