conversion from 2 avi files to a one DVD title in DVD flick

So, I've a video in two *.avi files (part1.avi & part2.avi). I tried to convert it to a DVD with DVD flick - loaded them in one title and converted. DVD flick didn'd report any errors, but in the resulting DVD only the first avi was presented. What to do?

I don't use DVD Flick, but at a guess, it has created two titles and not provided continuous playback when authored. If you try playing it back in a software player you will probably be able to choose the second title, just to prove it's there.

Choices :

1. Look for something in DVD Flick that provides sequential playback of multiple titles. Many authoring tools have them.

2. Change authoring tool to something that does support what you are trying to do, if DVD Flick cannot.

3. Join the two avi files together before you author. Even if you can get sequential playback, there is a very high chance that there will be a brief pause between the titles - about as long as a layer change on a DL disc. Joining beforehand removes this pause. I would suggest AVI Demux to attempt the join, and to test it after joining for audio sync issues in the second half before converting and authoring for DVD.

no, it haven't encoded the second part at all! I have checked all the *.vob in resulting DVD directory and all they were for the first part

thank you, but it's not the first time I m using DVD Flick for such a task, so I know that it can perform such task and the problem is only in this contrete movie. And I'd want to continue to use DVD Flick for such task, not merging avis before. Because this method really works in most situations.
