joining 2 .avi files??

is there a way that i can merge (join) 2 avi files, and get the same quality as the originals??

or even just be able to join them together?

 

I don't know how much time you have on your hands but you can import them into any video editing software and merge them there and then export the video back out. It may loose a tiny bit of quality and take 8million years to finish rendering and encoding, but u will get the best results that way.

 

there's a really good one called pecks power joiner.

Virtualdub virtual dub virtual dub.
direct stream copy on the video list

(load the first then "append avi segment" with the second peice)

 

how does the quality come out... any skipping frames??

 

i've only needed to use pecks power joiner a couple of times and have found the quality to be fine

 

virtual dub copies the film directly so there is NO loss of quality (hence the name direct stream copy).
not no descernible loss of qulaity, NO loss of qulaity at all.

 

when i try to join the avi files with virtualdub, they are HUGE... im talkin like 60GB, is there anyway to fix this, or am i doing sumthin wrong?

 

what program can i use to cut off a couple of seconds from an avi?

 

are you sure its 60gig.Have you looked at using mpeg tools in tmpgenc to edit.

 

i had to change an option... i got it to work... but now my new problem is that when i try to get the video and audio in TMPGenc after converting with VirtualDub, it wont let me get the .mp2, only the video.... any suggestions?

 

bump

 

I tried using VirtualDub to join two XViD MPEG- .avi's, and I got the following error:

"[!] Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown). VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this video."

Any way around this?

 

im pritty sure u can download a codec from http://www.xvid.org/


---- im still having problems with thpgenc, once i join the 2 avi's it wont let me get the sound usuing tmpgenc into a .mp2 file... can sum1 PLEASE help, i have been stumped for weeks

 

to join the two xvids you WANT to use direct stream copy (which means as it says it merely copies the audio and video stream exactly if you append an avi then it will join the xvids).

as for the audio in tmpg check carefully that the clip has audio if you are certain it is find out what format the audio is (use a program if you dont knwo what search for it). Then make sure you have the correct codec. If all else fails use vdub and load the original avi then choose to decompress the audio stream and save wav. Then use tmpg to encode the audio separatly and mulitplex afterwards etc...

 

even if i get the wav from virtualdub, it has no sound with it...

 

then you dont have the correct codec probably.

 

i downloaded the xvid codec, and i also have ffdshow

 

any suggestions?????
