I took some video with my digital camera and once in a while, the file is read as having an incorrect time on it. For example: A 10 minute clip will be interpreted as only being 5 minutes long. The scroll bar on the media player will reach the end after 5 minutes, but the entire movie will play on until the end.

The downside of this is that I have several clips I'm trying to piece together and the inncorect time lengths makes it difficult or impossible to join them together.

My Questions are as follows:
1) Is this a common problem?
2) What software can I use to correct the lengths of the movies?
2.5)I use Easy Video Joiner to splice them together, is there something better?
And an unrelated 3) What is a good compression software to use for the video? I've tried Dr DivX but the results are that the video end up all jerky.

Difficulty: My computer is a rather slow, 7 years old, 466 processor.
