[[GSV]Benny]

Hello,

I have 2 files that i wont to join together to beable to encode to MPEG2 then burn to DVD.

I am using VirtualDub to try and join the files.

I open the first file in VirtualDub and get this error,



I click OK on that error then select append AVI and open the second part and get this error,



Heres the file information for the first file,



Heres the information for the second file,



Why wont they join together ?

You have two choices:
-Convert the audio to wav and then join.
-Don't join them at all. Convert seperately and then author them so that one plays after the other.

I'd go with the second, less problems.

hey ZippyP., I have the same problem when i try to join two avi files....Adn you said that it is probably better to convert first and then to put on Dvd toghether....Witch is the best way to do that...

I have avi's like :movie_part1.avi, movie_part2.avi... in PAL format and i want to put them on the same dvd in NTSC format. I'm using the guide "AVI,DivX,XviD to DVD with switchable subs using DVD2SVCD" (using DVD2SVCD ) for conversion to dvd format and then "User guides - PAL / NTSC DVD Conversion (patch method)"(using IFOEdit)

Can you suggest me another ideea OR how can i use this ideea if i want to put more avi's on the same dvd....

10x a lot!!!!

voicu_n: You need to join your files in order to use DVD2SVCD. Open the first part in Virtualdub, if you get a VBR warning then you need to decompress the audio to wav.

If you don't get a warning then under file select append avi segment and select part 2, set audio and video to direct stream copy, then save avi and give it a new name.

If you do get a VBR warning, then under audio set full processing mode, also under audio>conversion and select 48000Hz, under video set direct stream copy, then save avi and give it a different name. After doing that for both parts you can join as above.

Good luck.
