How can I burn a two-part video file as one DVD image?

Matrix CD1.avi
Matrix CD2.avi
Matrix CD3.avi

load this one Matrix CD1.avi the rest will be pulled in by the app itself...

 

Hi Rotary,

I tried that. I renamed my fles as you said and loaded the first file up but it didnt pull the second part. I ended up with just part 1 and no part 2 converted. Ill try it again tomorrow and report back.

 

hi

are the files the same type? or different movies? check file you got in avicodec¬!

 

Okay. Ive figured out what the problem was. I was renaming my files
matirx cd1.avi
matrix cd2.avi

It seems that it wasnt liking me renaming the files with .avi on the end for some reason. It worked when I renamed the files like this:

matrix cd1
matrix cd2
etc

Cheers, and congratulations on a top quality product. I used to use VSO Divxtodvd but after getting major lip sync issues I swapped to avi2dvd and I have no problems so far what so ever.

sorry i should of made it clear, ye the avi is the file extension! and dont change ever!

so renaming to matrix CD1.AVI will make matrix CD1.AVI.AVI making an extension of .AVI.AVI which is wrong....

but hey you got it worked out by yourself and yes that app is top of my list of apps at present!!! it rocks it may take a while to convert but man the quality is amazing its like looking at the avi still after!

if you like that app try film machine! it can audio boost and correct some colour issues at same time!

 

I have just been reading this thread and I wanted to let everyone in on Cucusoft Avi to Dvd it can convert almost any file to mpeg1&2 or prep for vcd or dvd. You can batch add files to convert to one file I have done it many times with great success you may have to add a numberic such as 1 & 2 to the end of the file name if not already present to combine them. I also recently added subtitles using this program combined with VobSub see follow the link to this forum for more info http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/203614#1136245

Cucusoft used to be slow but it has been updated and is much faster, They also now offer a dvd burning software that works very well with the converter software with excellent results and advance controls it's not expensive and comes with lifetime upgrades.

 

hi

have they updated the enocoder part as i have tested this app and its was poor...

but may grab it and test again to check...

 

Yes this app has been updated three times last year and the current version is the fastest yet...with advanced settings to increase sound volume, frame rates and a number of other settings once you purhase a copy free upgrades for life on new versions and the new dvd burning software is designed to work with the encoder software and delivers fast burns as well check it out.

 

Ok, silly question, but would AVI2DVD still pull in the other avi files if they were named (for example):
Matrix CD1 - "episode name".avi (e.g. Matrix CD1 - Neo.avi
Matrix CD2 - "episode name".avi Matrix CD2 - Trinity.avi
Matrix CD3 - "episode name".avi Matrix CD3 - Morpheus.avi)

That's how I currently have my 16 avi episode files named, but I don't know if I have to rename them a different way so AVI2DVD knows to pull in multiple files.

Also, the 16 episodes total 5.4 GB. Will AVI2DVD pull in up to 4.7 GB or do I need to use a seperate program to fit the 16 files into two separate ISO files? If so, what program do you recommend. I'm a newbie so nothing too complicated please. =) If not, can I use DVD Shrink to shrink the final ISO file down to 4.7 GB then burn using DVD Decrypter, or will AVI2DVD not allow all 16 files to be "merged" together as one file if over 4.7 GB?

 

hi

only tried 2 files being pulled in but it supposed to do alot, so not sure on 17?

but rename like this!

Matrix CD1.avi
Matrix CD2.avi
Matrix CD3.avi
Matrix CD4.avi

load this 1 only!

Matrix CD1.avi

it will pull the rest in! first job it does to output folder is jion the lot! so can be used as a jioner only too = nice!

yes it will do the lot you just burn the iso! it does shrink it!

 

it will split the file to fit or you can shrink an iso as stated in this thread also rename them all the same name with sequential numbers is best
