im having a problem with joining some avi's together, i read intructions on how to do it but the problem is the audio streams have different data formats for the clips i want to join. is there a way to somehow correct this?
Open part 1, select video direct stream copy. Select audio, full processing. Select file, save avi. Do the same to part 2. You can now join the two new avi's you made.
that worked ^^ but now the file is 3 times the original size, is that something im gonna have to bare with?
You have now uncompressed audio on these files. Select compression.. Or Save WAVs from the original files and save videos with no audio (direct streams). Then open that audioless video, choose audio -> WAV audio.., open your wav file and then save avi.
Revised instructions: Open part 1, select video direct stream copy. Select audio, full processing. Select audio, compression, mpeg-layer 3. Select file, save AVI. Do the same to part 2. You can now join the two new avi's you made, and they should be about the same size.
I forgot to mention the audio compression, because I usually encode all my stuff to dvd, then discard the avi.
