What kind of 'movie' file? There are a lot of types. How about Virtualdub and Womble.

If you're encoding to mpeg using TMPGEnc, I would use It's built-in cut-editing before encoding. I've never had any playback problems using this method, but frequently have using 3rd party tools.

So, from what I gather, you've got two mpeg files that need joining and one that needs editing?

You can merge the two together ok with TMPGEnc, but a better solution would be to use Womble Mpeg-Vcr to do the cut/editing job. TMPGEnc 'merge & cut' is limited in that it only allows you to select the range you want to keep/merge, not the range you want to discard. This is ok if you're cutting from the end, but if it's something in the middle, or anywhere else, you're stuck.
