AVI to DVD

Norbert666 · 5 Mar 2006 at 15:43

OK.

I now know how to convert AVI to DVD using WinAVI Video Converter.

What I need to know now however is, is there a way to join two AVI files together?

I have some two bits of video footage that I want to join to make one, before burning to a DVD.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Using Google, I found VirtualDub which I tried to use.

Each time I try, regardless of what the avi files are I get the following, which means nothing to me:

VirtualDub Error

Couldn't locate decompressor for "DX50" (unknown)

VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.

Anyone know what all this is about? :confused:

I think someone mentioned that you need to install the latest version of divx5, ffdshow and ogg. Well, install one at a time and see does it work but I did hear that you really need the latest version of ffdshow so install it first.

FFDShow

And install.

During the installation, make sure you tick the option to add 'VirtualDub' Plugin.

Download Avi2Vcd which comes with another tool called Decompress.exe. Put both parts of your Avi into Decompress.exe then join them together using Vdub.

WinAvi lets you select more than one AVI file when converting AVI to DVD.

Will it not automatically put them one after the other?

Yes it does but the two videos must be of the same nature/format I think.

I did it yesterday but for some reason it keeps mixing the order of play for me i.e instead of the DVD being Video1-Video2-Video3, it creates the image in order Video3-Video2-Video1 etc.

I tried it. It's created dvd_0 and dvd_1 with a separate AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS for each

Not what I expected would happen.

I guess there's no way I can but this to a DVD?
