Why do you "burn the mini-DVs to DVD disc as full length AVIs" (Not sure sure what you mean by this terminlogy) rather than simply transfer the tapes to a hard drive as uncompressed DV AVI? A typical DVD-R can only hold 4.38 Gb which can only contain about 20 minutes or so of DV AVI video. It is foolish to try to let the program access the files from a DVD rather than a local hard drive. The files might not be valid DV AVI files or maybe your computer is choking on reading the video files off of the DVD drive rather than a local hard drive.
