    hello, i am having some problems joining a video cd with the
    above program

    everything seems to go fine with the join, but when saving it reaches 50% then skips straight to 100%, the resulting file then only contains the first cd!!

    i have used it before with no problems but this is the second one its happened to, my PC is otherwise working fine but getting a bit full up
    (100gb of 160gb)

    i unstinstalled and reinstalled womble but still getting the problems

    help please!!

    If the framerate or aspect of the two files is different, they won't join.

    as far as i know they are the same, cd1 and cd2

    it seems a bit weird, if i use womble to extract and save the mpeg as separate files then load them up and join the mpeg files together it works fine,

    but if i i try to join them straight from the mounted vcd images it doesnt save!!! i havent used it for a while (a month) but the settings seem like the same as b4

    You are Not supposed to use Files Saved on to CD...The Files should "ALLWAYS" be Copied to your Hard Drive before you attempt to Join them......

    VCD"s when on Disk are very prone to read errors and that is why You should allways Copy the Files to your HD First....

    Oh, now I get it.
    You're trying to merge two virtual files in Daemon tools (or similar)...no wonder it won't work.
    Daemon can only load one image at a time, and when it's finished with the first, will virtually load the second.
    During playback, this appears seamless.
    A virtual image isn't the real file, just a memory of it, stored in RAM. Only the current bit you're viewing is actually in ram, not the whole thing.

    with alcohol 120% you can have 10+ virtual drives, i have used threee before without a problem, you can mount all 3 svcds etc at the same time and i have used womble to join and save at the same time,

    unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working right at the moment, i have to load up each cd in womble then save them as mpeg files on my hard drive so i end up with cd1 mepg - cd2 mpeg etc then load them up in womble and join them together

    i used to be able to extract and save as one task!

    I have had this problem,. altho a lot of the time it is simply a result of a corrupt frame, do u trim a few frames off the end of cd1 and the start of cd2 to make sure you have full frames merging together? if u ont, the result is exactly what u said, when the mrging hiuts the corrupt frame it ends the joining process
