 ok I always thought there were three parts of this  movie...
  but I seem to have a special release with all the three  parts just in two tapes...
 
  could somebody tell me the exact moment in which part one  ends?
 
  is there any moment in part one in which there are  flashbacks?
 
  I am confused

Thats correct.
  1 ends with Mikey taking over the business after the Don's  death and moving to Vegas.
 
  2 is Mikey's story with the Don's life in flashback.
  3 is all that is with Andy Garcia.

FADE FROM BLACK: Int. of Don Corleone's home office -day 
  BONASERA (seated in front of the Don's desk, facing the  camera) 
 
  I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I  raised my daughter in the 
 
  American fashion. I gave her freedom, but -- I taught her  never to dishonor her family. She 
 
  found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies  with him; she stayed out late. I 
 
  didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive,  with another boyfriend. They made 
 
  her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of  her. She resisted. She kept her 
 
  honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the  hospital, her nose was a'broken. 
 
  Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't  even weep because of the pain. 
 
  But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life --  beautiful girl. Now she will 
 
  never be beautiful again. 
  [Bonasera breaks down. The Don gestures to Sonny to give  Bonasera a drink] 
 
  Sorry... 
  [Bonasera, taking the drink, sips from the shot glass] 
  I -- I went to the police, like a good American. These two  boys were brought to trial. The 
 
  judge sentenced them to three years in prison -- suspended  sentence. Suspended sentence! 
 
  They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like  a fool. And those two bastard, 
 
  they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "for justice, we  must go to Don Corleone." 
 
  VITO CORLEONE (sitting behind his desk, petting a cat) 
  Why did you go to the police? Why didn't you come to me  first? 
 
  BONASERA 
  What do you want of me? Tell me anything. But do what I beg  you to do. 
 
  VITO CORLEONE 
  What is that? 
  [Bonasera gets up to whisper his request into Don Corleone's  ear] 
 
  That I cannot do. 
  BONASERA 
  I'll give you anything you ask. 
  VITO CORLEONE 
  We've known each other many years, but this is the first  time you came to me for counsel, 
 
  for help. I can't remember the last time that you invited me  t

/\ That's the start of pt 1 /\
  ------------------------------------------------
  \/ End of part 1 \/
  MICHAEL 
  Don't ask me about my business... 
  KAY 
  No. 
  MICHAEL (as he slams his hand on the desk) 
  Enough! 
  (then) 
  Alright. This one time [Michael points his finger] -- this  one time I'll let you ask me about 
 
  my affairs... 
  KAY (whispering) 
  Is it true? -- Is it? 
  MICHAEL (quietly, shaking his head) 
  No. 
  KAY (after a sigh of relief and Michael kisses and hugs her)  
 
  I guess we both need a drink, huh? 
  [Kay leaves the room to fix Michael a drink. At the same  time, Rocco, Clemenza, 
 
  and Neri enter the office. Clemenza shakes Michael's hand.  Kay turns her head to watch 
 
  them. They embrace Michael, then kiss his hand.] 
  CLEMENZA (kissing Michael's hand) 
  Don Corleone...

  The screen blackens to indicate...

if thats the begining of part 1 then I ve seen another film
  what I saw as part one started with the story of vito since  he was a boy and his family was killed and he had to leave  to america, then how vito (de niro) started his business in  new york... killling that man that wanted him to pay him  200$ each month... and then he goes back to sicilia to get  revenge.... and the next thing you see is marlon brandon in  his daughter´s wedding and there is when that man asks him  for justice and all that... (so this scene that you say its  the begining of part 1 is like after an hour and a half in   the film I just saw...

God this IS confusing!
  "What're the differences between the Godfather video boxed  sets?
 
  This can get very confusing. Here's the brief of it: The  Godfather Epic [out of print] is the chronological version  of Parts I and II released on video. It has more footage  than the original two films. The Godfather Saga [not  available for purchase] is the TV version of The Epic, but  has much more footage. Most of this extra footage ended up  in The Godfather Trilogy* set [Re-released in 1997], which  is the chronological version of all three films, available  on video. The Trilogy set is the one you should get if you  want the most available footage. It also contains the  Making-Of tape, The Godfather Family: A Look Inside. The  Godfather Collection is simply the three original films in a  box - no added footage, and not in chronological order (but  remastered/widescreen in 1997). The Godfather Collection  (Limited Edition) includes The Godfather Legacy* book and a  card signed by Francis Coppola."

hummmm sounds like you've seen Part 1 to me. The flashbacks  in Part I & II can be confusing, DeNiro is in both movies. i  prefer Part II of all III movies, it's just sooooo solid. i  really need to get the DVD collection, i've seen these  movies so many times, i never get tired of seeing italian  movies!! 
 
  CLASSIC FILM!

1. DeNiro is only in Part II 2. They're American movies, not Italian.
