How to combine camcorder video clips into one file?

I just bought a Sony Bloggie camcorder. New clips are made every time you turn the record button on. When I transfer them to my PC, I want to know if there is a way to combine these short, 30 - 45 second, clips into a larger file - "one that tells the whole story " say in 3-4 minutes. The manual you can download is all but useless and on importing files to the PC it tells you to follow the software instructions of which there are none. Very frustrating.

Answer
You need a video editing program (NLE) to put them all back together. On your PC, if it is a Windows machine, Windows Movie Maker should be on your computer. The down side to this is, if your camcorder shoots in HD, you will need to convert your files so they can be used with WMM. By doing that conversion, you loose any HD qualities your video had.

For about $79 to $129 CDN, they sell, better than WMM, NLEs that can handle HD footage right from a HD camcorder, no file conversion necessary.

I do not use, have no interest and never will, but I am also supplying you with a link to a review of several online free video editing sites. http://www.videomaker.com/article/14923
