command to merge two avi files in AVISynth Script?

[Bel]

I was wondering if anyone knows how you would merge two avi's or mpegs through avisynth for converting in CCE? (i.e., combining a part 1 and part 2) Thanks.

forget it I found it... Thanks anyways

Everytime I have tried to do this I get audio sync problems on the second half of the combined AVI

I have encountered this with my LaserDisc captures since just about all movies have to be captured as 2 or more files since a LaserDisc can only hold 60 minutes per side.

My solution?

Encode each AVI as seperate files ... process the audio as seperate as well. Then I mux the DVD MPEG-2 spec video with AC-3 audio.

I end up with 2 MPEG files ... AVI one into one MPEG file (with muxed AC-3 audio) and AVO two into one MPEG file (with muxed AC-3 audio).

I then combine them into one multiplexed MPEG file using MPEG-VCR by Womble multimedia.

I then import that single multiplexed MPEG file into my DVD authoring program.

No sync problems.

Let us say you have two AVI clips and one is called, "clip01.avi" and the other is called, "clip02.avi" and both are on your HDD on the D drive under a folder called CAPTURE.

This is how you would join it in AviSynth:

AVISource("D:\capture\clipo1.avi")+AVISource("D:\capture\clip02.avi")

Very simple but it never works for me without sync issues ... yes this is the why you are supposed to do it!

Maybe it works better when your AVI files aren't live captures but rather DVD conversions or DV AVI format.

By the way here is a nice guide to some stuff you can do with AviSynth:

Did you try

AVISource("D:\capture\clipo1.avi")++AVISource("D:\ capture\clip02.avi")

with ++ (AlignedSplice) instead of + (UnalignedSplice).

I was not aware of there being a difference like this.

Next time I do a LaserDisc transfer (just got one from eBay I intend to do) I will try it with "++" instead of just one "+"
