Hi there Hope this is the correct place 1) How can I combine AVi's? I have different movies I wish to put onto 1 DVD. They don't have to be seamless as they are different and I don't need to access them separately from a menu (though that would be interesting to know). I don't have Nero, just the usual freeware things What do you suggest? 2)All2DVD has a setting for Video Bitrate/Total Time, which it insists must be set to 9800. When an avi file to be converted to dvd comes up at 13680 , the error msg is "Max standard bitrate is 9800, try to add some more file or change the video bitrate manually" What is it, what does it do and why do I have to change it, does it affect quality, is it just All2dvd or all progs do this? Cheers
If you are interested, it seems this software may do it.. http://download.videohelp.com/gfd/ Bitrate? who knows who cares
If that doesn't work out for you, Avi Joiner should join your files; not free though. Virtualdub (free) can join avi: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/14/59/ and this for the sampling error you will probably get (I always did): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/309635 Bitrate and quality go hand in hand (more Bitrate, higher quality) and will determine the size of your file. Too large and it won't fit. I believe 9800 is the maximum for DVD players but I have never seen one that high. I have never used Avi2DVD but every encoder I have seen lets you set Bitrate manually.
For interest Here is what I have found on Bitrate http://www.signvideo.com/bt-rts.htm Also ALl2DVD lets you combine 2 or more avi's when creating an iso to burn to dvd (good for combing small movie/tv shows)
