AVI to DVD

I have a question for anyone who uses virtual dub to join 2 avi files together.
Can someone tell me why, when using virtual dub to join 2, say 800mb avi files, they become about 80gb?

 

You have now uncompressed avi. Don't use full processing mode in video tab, select both video and audio as direct stream copy.

 

Thanks for the info. Worked a treat, now i just have to convert it to DVD.

 

Stardust, got one excellent avi file now, but when i convert to MPEG using TMPencplus, i loose the sound and it wont let me use the avi file in the audio field.

 

I also tried extracting the audio file using OSSaudio extractor but it said the audio file was unsupported.
Any ideas?

 

i see you are still having fun with your avi's

have a good xmas man

how quickly some people get off topic!
You can actually extract the sound with VirtualDub. Then use the WAV as the audio source when encoding.

 

so! and your point is..............
