    Hello i have downloaded various movies that have 2 folders labeled CD1 and CD2, all of them contain 1 .avi file.

    I basically just want to join/merge the two together, I just want to make them one .avi file so I can put it into DivxToDVD and then have vobs.

    I have tried putting both files into DivxToDvd No luck!
    I have tried to join them using AVI Joiner, turned the movie crap,pixaleted it was just a bunch of squares.

    any help??

    Just had a scout around and installed virtual dub 1.6.10

    I put CD1 into it then added CD2, Then this came up I want to know if its normal considering the total time came up to 2:16:29

    I'll leave it going but on my first attempt the result ended with my speakers spitting at me and huge blocks in front of the video. I'm pretty sure the two videos are exactly yhe same

    Sorry for been a noob in this department

    AVI filesize has nothing to do (well, almost) with it fitting on a disk.
    VSO will make it into an mpg, then create the dvd structure for it.
    If it were a compressed video, it would take less time.
    Open the first in vdub.
    Append the second.
    Click Video, Compression, and choose DivX (or Xvid, or even msmpeg-4).
    Click File, save avi.
    This will reduce it's size considerably.
    VSO may like it better, and take less time.

    It actually makes .vob's and such, inside the VIDEO_TS folder, but it really is an mpg.
    Sounds like winavi has adjusted it's time (more or less) properly.

    so put both files in d2d, seperately or togehter?

    Winavi stopped at 99%, I think it was a case of multitaskin i was plaing on Half Life 2, and was on the net when it stopped. No worries I'll try your way :p

    One more question, how much CPU usage does DivxToDvd take up, mines always at 98/100.

    How much memory usgage does it take up, mine varies from 50,000-90,000

    Arrrgh you can't multitask when that porgrams on, can anyone help?

    Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL
    Find the program in the list.
    Right click, select Go to Process.
    Right click on it.
    Select Set priority, and lower it.
    If it's still too much, lower it more.
    This only works until you restart, then it goes back to default.
