Merge 2 AVI Files

allllec · 16 Jul 2007 at 22:20

Hi,

i've got quite a few DivX and Xvid avi files and i wanted to know if anyone knows a free app that will marge the 2 files into one.. for most of these files VirtualDub did it fine, however some of the files dont have matching bit rates or something and it doesn't want to do all of them.

so yeah to summarize

must be free
must work with DivX and other codecs

yeah please thank you

I use Nandub for this, make sure video and audio have direct stream copy selected.

Open the first part of the file then, use append avi segment to open the second (& subsequent if needs be).

Save as AVI, select your file name and a couple of minutes later - bobs your uncle, combined avi file

I use VirtalDub MOD
open Avi file, then click on "append" to open the next one

make sure video is to Direct Copy mode (not full processing mode)

works wonders!

Yes but if the audio in the 2nd one is a difference bit-rate then that doesnt work, it gives you an error... that why the op is asking for an alternative

thats why I said the "mod" version becuase it works around that problem!

This should work -

Drop into the DOS COMMAND LINE in the directory and type :

copy /b 1.avi+2.avi 3.avi

(3.avi is the result)

Worth trying.

I keep forgetting about that DOS way of doing it, yep its worth a try too
