A while ago someone recommended a programme that joins AVI files into one continuous file for conversion to DVD. I did try it and it consisted of drag and dropping the two avi files into a box and they would be joined up when you chose the conversion format Anyone any ideas please
Load the first piece with Virtualdub, then do File ___ Append AVI segment and load the second one. But when you "Save as AVI" the sum of the 2 movies you need again to use a lossy AVI codec. Why don't multiplexing the MPG you obtain by encoing the AVIs with TMPGenc? (file __ MPEG tools __ Simple Multiplex) More than that, I'm against authoring a DVD with some .AVI movies having a little quality (an .AVI movie is more or less 700-800 MB big, much smaller than the 4.5 GB .VOB file of a DVD).
Thanks for the tip. I'll try the TMPG route as well. DOH! Didn't realsie you could do that with it. I agree with the quality issue its just for those AVI's I have been given. I suppose SVCD is probably the best I could expect in maintaining some sort of quality and should just stick to that as one of the multi files is SVCD anyway.
