DGIndex: joining muptiple clips

[PapaDmitry]

Cannot join multiple clips with DGIndex. Help! According to the brief instructions supplied with DGIndex zip file (if I understand this correctly), audio files get separated and must be joined with video via the "Audiodub" command like so (adding an introductory blank screen)

v1=MPEG2Source("clip 069.d2v").Trim(0,300)
a1=MPASource("clip 069.mp2")
AudioDub(v1,a1)
Blankclip(last,length=100).Subtitle("Jud, North Dakota, City of Murals", 
size=58,align=5)++last

I have fifteen such clips and try to load the following code into VDub, which, of course, is not correct.

v1=MPEG2Source("clip 069.d2v").Trim(0,300)
a1=MPASource("clip 069.mp2")
AudioDub(v1,a1)
Blankclip(last,length=100).Subtitle("Jud, North Dakota, City of Murals", 
size=58,align=5)++last
 
v2=last++MPEG2Source("Clip 070.d2v").Trim(30,282)
a2=MPASource("clip 070.mp2")
AudioDub(v2,a2)

What am I doing wrong? l feel like I'm walking around in circles because it's taken me about a month to render an itty bitty video clip.

Cannot join multiple clips

What do you mean "cannot"? Is there an error message? If so what?

Anyway, if it's sync, then I think you should Trim after dubbing:

v1=MPEG2Source("clip 069.d2v")
a1=MPASource("clip 069.mp2")
AudioDub(v1,a1)
Trim(0,300)
Blankclip(last,length=100).Subtitle("Jud, North Dakota, City of Murals", 
size=58,align=5)++last

assuming the clips match in resolution and audio bitrate and codec, combine them in DGIndex itself to get one d2v file and one audio file for all clips combined.

v1=MPEG2Source("clip 069.d2v").Trim(0,300)
a1=MPASource("clip 069.mp2")
AudioDub(v1,a1)
Blankclip(last,length=100).Subtitle("Jud, North Dakota, City of Murals", 
size=58,align=5)++last
 
v2=last++MPEG2Source("Clip 070.d2v").Trim(30,282)
a2=MPASource("clip 070.mp2")
AudioDub(v2,a2)

What am I doing wrong?

When you AudioDub a2 onto v2, you are replacing the entire audio track, so you lose a1.
You need to do the AudioDub for each section before appending it to the previous ones.
And (assuming each mp2 is as long as the corresponding d2v) AlanHK is right about putting the AudioDub before the Trim as well.

v1=MPEG2Source("clip 069.d2v")
a1=MPASource("clip 069.mp2")
AudioDub(v1,a1).Trim(0,300)
Blankclip(last,length=100).Subtitle("Jud, North Dakota, City of Murals", 
size=58,align=5)++last
 
v2=MPEG2Source("Clip 070.d2v")
a2=MPASource("clip 070.mp2")
v2a=AudioDub(v2,a2).Trim(30,282)
last++v2a
