Aaaaaarrrrgghh! Combining 2 xVid .avi files in to one...

[handsy]

I've tried using vDub but no luck.....when I open first file it just gives me a blank screen. I have Main Concept codec installed, and have tried using nadub as well, but still no joy.
Can I do this in TmpgEnc ? If so, please point me to a good guide as I'm struggling big time.

Ultimately, I want to be able to combine 2 xVid .avi files in to one file and copy to DVD-R in DVD format.

First, when you first open a file in virtual dub you will see a blank screen. Drag the button at the bottom of the screen to the right and you should see a picture. If not, load your film into gspot or avicodec and see what it says. Let us know.

AviSynth:

AviSource("C:\handsy1.avi")+AviSource("C:\handsy2. avi")

#Who says AVI files have to match when you have AviSynth?

Thanks so far guys.......

laddydaddy, which button...there are loads, plus when I click any of them down the bottom I get "VideoSourceAVI error: The source image format is not acceptable. (error code -2)" !

Gspot reports it as xvid with ac3 audio.

Tommyknocker, haven't tried avisynth yet, will try and report back

The button I speak of is actually right above all the loads of buttons. It is to the very left above the stop button. You also have ac3 audio which will give you a problem unless you have the latest version of virual dub.

Hrrm, screen grab attached.....I have the latest version. Which button ?

[handsy]

damn, screen grab upload didn't work.....suffice it to say I have vDub 1.5.4 build 16297.

Avisynth seems v.complicated

[Laddydaddy]

Just look at the buttons on the bottom of the screen. Look at the one at the very left. Above that is a rectangular button which has a long white rectangle next to it. Drag that button to the right. Also, do you have the xvid codec installed?

[handsy]

Installed new xvid codec, and all is now working
thanks guys
