Hi Don!

I also sometimes use more than one memorycard and gets duplicate names of the clips. My solution is to rename the clips so that the second cards file names begins with the letter "a" instead of a zero.

First card:
00000.mts
00001.mts
...

Second card:
a0000.mts
a0001.mts
....

This can be done in a Bash shell prompt in Linux with the following command (cd to the folder with your mts files first):

for o in *;do n=`echo "$o"|awk '{print "a" substr($0,2)}'`;mv "$o" "$n";done
