Problem with combining movie files in one thumbnail Plz. Help

[shy295]

Dear Sir,
I just bought sony's 30GB hard disk drive camcorder DCR-SR100, I am facing few problems in using it. You are requested to please inform me how to tackel these problems. First when I recorded the movie, each time I pressed and released the record button a thumbnail was formed on the camcorder, even though I have shot just for few seconds and just to shoot one scene I need to press and release the recording button several times but in result several thumbnails and very small movie files are formed which are not required, as i need only one thumbnail for one scene and i want to combine all small movie files in one thumb nail. Further I coppied all these movies file to my computer and when I tried to burn 4.7 GB dvd, only 99 files were allowed to burn on the dvd which took only 1.4 GB of space and I could not insert my dvd again for further recording as message appears that please insert blank DVD, and according to cmacoreder software for 10.8 GB of my movie I need 11 DVD's. Which is redicilous. Second while editing when I cut and Compile the movie file another new movie file is formed and when I tried to burn the dvd the orignal file was started to burn not the compiled one.

You are requested to please inform me the sloutions of my problems as I could not find them in provided user's manual.
Thanking you,

Read read read. Basically, you'll have to string your scenes together as one continous file, then, at the authoring stage, place chapter marks where you want your different scenes.
Generally, you can put 2-3 hours of video on a DVD5 disc. The limitation is (as you've found) 99 titles, 99 chapter/title if my memory serves me.
