hi people, newbie here for the first time. can anyone tell me why in virtualdub (1.5)the option to APPEND AVI SEGMENT is greyed out is not active? tried everything to make it active,no joy! what am I missing? at the moment I can,t join any parts to-gether
Ususlly it's grayed at the start of the program(no movie loaded). It darkens when you open a movie. Did you load a movie, first, isn't it?
yes I have the first part loaded,and I am trying to bring in the second part to join them. first part scrolled to the last frame as per instructions in AD guide to VIRTUALDUB: JOINING AVI FILES. but still APPEND AVI SEGMENT stays greyed out.
Never seen. On my VirtualDub the graying stops as soon I load the 1st part of the movie. Couple of guesses: 1) does this happen if you open any movie or only that one? 2) I imagine that you cannot save even 2 small avis? How is the HD free space (you can save the merged sum, isn it?) and how big are the 2 AVIs (FAT32 allows a maximum file size, huge but limited) 3) do you have the appropriate codec for that movie (i.e. can you compress a new output in AVI form for a single AVI of that set)? 3) can you merge & cut with TMPGenc if you encode AVI --> MPG? (sorry, this is the 'hard part')
hmmm... I have the same problem. I tried to use virtualdub for joining two avi files. Followed every online instruction I could find, but my APPEND AVI SEGMENT is greyed out! Any ideas? I instelled several different versions of virtualdub, but its the same problem everytime I try to join the files... Help.....
I've been using VirtualDub for years, and I've never encountered that problem. Did you try aldaco12's suggestions? Are you SURE that you're loading an AVI, and not just a mislabeled MPEG? If you're using VirtualDub-MPEG2 or VirtualDubMod, they will happily load an MPEG with an .AVI extension, without complaining at all. In that case, the "Append AVI segment" really is greyed out.
