Multiple file encoding with TMPGEnc

[mshepley]

Hi everyone,
Received CDRW for my birthday Yippee!! and I made my first VCD. Really impressed and a big thanks to all out there.
However, here are some inevitable questions:
Can you encode multiple AVI files in TMPGEnc to create one big MPEG-1 file? If so how? The reason I ask is that my disc ran fine until the point where it had to read another file, where it passed for some time before playing. The multiple avi files are created when capturing with AVI_IO which splits it into 2Gb files.
Secondly the audio was extremely high volume with some distortion.
I've downloaded tooLame, but can anyone tell me how to find the toolame.exe file? as the extracted files are all text files and none of them have the extension .exe
OR should I just ignore toolame and use the "Normalise" feature in TMPGEnc? OR should I just reduce the volume in TMPGEnc?
Thanks in anticipation of your really interesting, but confusing answers. Remember I'm as thick as s--t
All the best.

for cutting and/or joining AVI files, use Virtual Dub - then use TMPGe to encode to MPEG (or MPEG2, etc)

as for tooLame, why don't you just do a Windows search for the toolame.exe file (Start Menu> Search> Find Files)

I have had trouble finding versions of tooLame recently. I have since been using the SCMPX MPEG2 Audio encoder instead. You can search for SCMPX on Google or Yahoo, etc (for some reason this website does not provide a link for the SCMPX encoder - or at least last time I checked it didn't)

You'll also want to check out the VCD tutorials on this website - they are very easy to understand and get the job done 8)
