i have tried to find a video joiner that will join my vcd, svcd and xvid movies taht are in two parts but nothing seems to be able to do it properly. the only results are the program doesnt accept the video format, once joined part two comes out distorted or the quality is dropped and frame size is off even though i said to keep the origional size. i have tried: winavi, super video joiner, easy video joiner, x video joiner, movie tool box video joiner, jfuse, mpeg joiner (i dont know the company) and media 4pc avi joiner. the biggest success was super video joiner but the quality was dropped no matter what option i chose to convert it to. I want to do this so i can make it a dvd with ulead dvd workshop, the format that i end up with doesnt matter as long as it is joined properly. does anyone know of a video joiner that actually works and doesnt give bad results.
If you have two join two VCD's (for instance_ you need to convert the AVSEQ01.dat file from each disc onto MPG format (use Isobuster for that). Once you have your files, you can use VirtualDub or DVtools to join them. Make sure both files have the very same specifications
Keep in mind that there are several versions of Virtual Dub. The one that worked for me is Virtualdub MP3 Freeze.
thanks... power video converter seems to be working so far, slow but hopefully will give a good result. how do i convert the AVSEQ01.dat using isobuster?
Alas, you guys remember that VirtualDub is a good Joiner but forces the output to be saved in AVI form (and therefore is excellent only for joining AVI files, simply keeping Video___Direct Stream Copy). Ah, you can avoid using Isobuster for Video conversions. Simply use VCDGear (Free!) and choose DAT -> MPG. Nothing easier.
You can use VirtualDub , Here is how : Tools: Virtualdub or Virtualdub MP3 Freeze or Nandub or if joining/cutting ASF use Virtualdub 1.3c and the ASF Codecs ( MP43 (Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 V3).

Aldaco12, just wondering, why do you suggest to skip Isobuster? Is the other program faster? Regarding to results, I've always converted my .dat to .mpg without a problem...
