Hopefully, this is the correct forum. Anyway, l sort of have a problem with Virtualdub which is certainly not life threatening, but it's happened to me twice now on different ocassions.
I have two video files (cd1 and cd2) which on their own, view perfectly ok using Windows Media Player.
I fire up Virtualdub (to join the two files), and when l open the first file, it says "AVI: Truncated or invalid compressed audio format detected (18 bytes should be 36). Attempting to fix".
The Vdub screen also says "Warning: Nothing to output. Bframe decoder lag" and of course, will not procede to join the two files.
So, l would assume that l could use any burning software and just import the two files (please confirm whether this is correct), but why can't they be joined into one using Virtualdub?
I'm not that technically minded, but know how to "run" programs. So when l get this kind of message, it's over the top of my head l'm afraid!
Any explanations please?
And also, as before, can l just burn these two files without having to join them?
Thanks very much.

As an afterthought, and because l'm having real problems with my physical drive (will burn cd's but not dvd's, but that's another problem) thought l'd use Ashampoos' Movie Shrink and Burn as it burns movies to a cd as opposed to a dvd. And guess what, when the first file was selected up pops the following message:
"An invalid argument was passed to method 'unspecified method' of '': unspecified argument".
So now l'm totally "out of my depth". Can view each file without any problem whatsoever, but can't seem to do anything with them?
