need to join mpg clips

[volam1]

Hi, I am looking for a new and free software, other than mpeg2cut2, to cut and join mpg clips. Does anyone know?
Thankyou.

AVIDeMux can cut and join MPEG, but is limited to I frames.

This even allows cutting on non-keyframes, as long as you have an appropriate encoder to rebuild the affected GOP (other parts are not re-encoded).

While it will cut (demuxed) files I found that it has problems with NTSC material.
Recordings made to DVD worked ok, but NTSC movies (using pulldown) were in most cases out of sync - and no amount of tinkering with audio delays could get them working properly.

Thankyou all,
I don't want to demux file and then join them back. I already tried cutteraman long ago and found it was difficult to work with.
What i want to do is extracting out some parts of a dvd and then joining these parts together.

Womble MPEG VCR is my personal favorite. It can be done in AviDemux too....that's a freebie.

It's not new but it's free and will join mpeg files.

TMPGEnc

VideoRedo is a very good pay software.

I was curious to learn something here. Say you've got a bunch of .MPG clips that were originally one larger file . . . so, there's no issue about them being different in technical specs which could cloud the issue. Why can't you re-join them with something like HJSPLIT ?

(I've noticed that if you take the .001 file from a set of files that were divided by HJSPLIT, you can play it by itself with various players. Not any of the others, though, which I'm assuming has to do with the header info that is present in file .001.)

I did -- just for the sake of comparison -- but I had previously taken advantage of the same site's giveaway promo of Womble's top tier product in this series, MPEG DVD Wizard. (It was a full version behind the current one, but hey, what would you expect for free ?) I half recalled some comments here to the effect that either the Womble product or VideoRedo -- not sure which -- had a non-intuitive interface that required some getting used to. Well, with really minimal dipping into the product's Help files, and no consulting of any guide, I pretty quickly worked out how to stitch those many .MPG clips back into their original single-video form. Kind of amazing really: that doesn't happen for me all that often with new software. Anyway, it was intuitive enough, and I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. If I could do it, most others probably could too -- even if coming from a low knowledge / skills place. (If the clips were not all of the same type, it might well have been more complicated.)

Thanks for alerting us to that promo. It looks like they have some kind of a bad-MPEG-fixer feature, as does VideoRedo, and I'd like to try that out next.

But I'm still curious as to the technical reasons why the general file-joiner would not be sufficient for this job.
