Program to join avi files together?

Glaucus · 7 May 2009 at 14:29

Any easy and free programs that can join 5 or so avi files together?

I use the mkvmerge utility to join them, doesnt reencode etc, just sticks the video & audio back to back in an mkv container. works perfectly for the job

does that change it to a .mkv file though?

It does yes, it demuxes the AVI container, takes the video (divx etc) audio (mp3/aac etc) and subs and remuxes them together within a single Mkv container. obviously the parts arent re-encoded

Afraid I don't know/use a program to remux them to a single avi container if thats what you need

VirtualDub will do the job.
Just load up the first part, append the second, set video and audio to direct and then save as an AVI

VirtualDub can't properly handle VBR soundtracks - they end up out of synch

Nandub overcomes this.

Open AVI 1
File - Append - Select AVI 2
Video - Direct Stream Copy
Audio - Direct Stream Copy
File - Save as

Job done
