I had something strange to happen while transferring digital picture folders to another drive today. I had transferred maybe 15 different folders and all went well. This one particular folder I transferred from C:\ drive to F showed on F:\ drive(the slave drive) as being "Copy of MVI_0138.AVI" when all the files in that folder were all jpg files. There were no movie files at all. All the photos transferred and had the right extension but is should have said something like, "DSC-xxxx.JPG " from XXX to XXX. Where did the designation of AVI files come from? I have some of those files in other folders but, this wasn't one of them.

AVI is a movie format...You probably used your digital camera and used it to take a movie so when you downloaded\transferred the pics from the camera it also transferred the avi ...I've used my camera to create movies a few times.

All the pictures in that folder in question are jpegs-no movie files at all. That's why I couldn't figure out what was happening and why it showed .avi instead of .jpg files. that folder contained pictures from my D80 and D200-neither of which have movie capability.
