That's right i have 2 .avi files, wich belong to the same file, but i dont know how to convert'em into one clip, so i can copy it to a dvd, any help please?


xxxxxxx.cd1.avi
xxxxxxx.cd2.avi


i hope now i can post it correctly, sorry for the other post i did, it wasn't meant to be that way. my apologizes.

You don't have to join. Just add the files in the converting tool and convert to one DVD...with for example ConvertXtoDVD, DVD Flick, WinAVI, etc.

Here is my typical AVISynth script used for 640x272 multiple source AVI to 16:9 DVD.

# 16:9 encoding
AviSource("E:\Vids\xxxxxxx.CD1.avi", false)++AviSource("E:\Vids\xxxxxxx.CD2.avi", false)
ConvertToYUY2()
Lanczos4Resize(720,364)
AddBorders(0,58,0,58)

If you don't know what this is just use ConvertXtoDVD

Or you could use (write) ConvertToYv12()

-If I'm not mistaken, VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod can do this easily.

use virtual dub.

Start Virtualdub

hit ctrl+o or file_open

go back to file and hit append avi segment.

go to the video menu and hit direct stream copy

finally back to file_save as avi and save it.

and let it do it's thang........ You can just add them both as a seperate video file in convertxtodvd and hit sequential playback... But I like this idea better lmao....

Virtualdub has a habit of losing sync in the second half of joined avi files : https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=329255

I use VirtualdubMod to join 2 avi's all the time and have only had sync loss in the second half once (maybe I am just really lucky)
It's really easy to do as well, just follow Konzine's instructions above (they are the same for VirtualDub and VirtualDubMod)

I wonder if the people having sync problems in the second half were using source files that had blank frames inserted at the end of the first file that were not in the original single file avi? (this was the cause of the one time that I did have sync loss with Vdubmod)

Virtualdub if the audio is CBR, Virtualdubmod if the audio is VBR.
Then convert with convertx2dvd. Works like a charm for me.

If you have audio sync problems do what I do..

Follow my above steps but do not save the files. Go under audio > interleaving and mess with the MS setting until the Second half of your AVI is in sync. Remember this number. now open your 2nd avi and set the interleaving to that number, direct source copy, and save the avi files. NOW open the first avi file, and append the second. set video and audio to direct stream copy, save AVI. NO SYNC PROBLEMS!
