GoldWave Tutorial

[Turk]

Hello again

I was given a recommendation on how I could join two halves of a movie by using GoldWave (see: http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=128389). And probably because I've never used
the program, I can't seem to find any "joining" commands.

Is anyone familiar with the program that can point me to the commands necessary to join to .wav
files?

Sure. Open the first file you want to be the beginning. Then open the second file. Copy the second file. Select the first file. Select Edit-->PASTE AT-->End. Voilá!

first copy second wav then mark first wav and then edit/paste at

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try!

Great, it worked like a charm! Now how do I get the video halves joined?
You mentioned doing it in TMPGEnc, but it only mentions MPEG 1 or 2.
These are two AVI files.

Vitualdub.
This will do the audio and video together

Virtualdub.

Sorry Bugster, but you need to read the link from the original post.
Thanks anyway!

Maybe you should try Video Studio 6.

So I have read that now and understand your problem. What I suggest is this.

Open Avi 1 in goldwave, save out the audio as uncompressed PCM at whatever sample rate is needed for your final destination. (i.e 44.1 or 48khz).

Repeat for avi2.

Open avi 1 in virtualdub. Select Video->Direct stream copy, Audio->wav audio and select you avi 1 wav file from the step above. Now do file->save avi and save out a new copy of your avi with uncompressed audio.

Repeat for avi 2.

Now open avi 1 with uncompressed audio in virtualdub. Select file->Append Avi segment and select avi 2 with uncompressed audio. Check that video-> direct stream copy is set and audio->direct stream copy is set. Then select file-> save as avi and save this as a new file.
You now have one large avi with uncompressed audio ready for encoding etc however you want.

I know its a bit long winded and uses a lot of disk space but its straightforward and it works.

Hope this helps.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your help.
Thanks to Tommyknocker, I've learned a new program, Gold-
Wave.

But a big thanks goes out to Bugster for coming up with a great
tutorial for my little problem. Bugster, it worked just like you
drew it up. Although I did substitute VirtualDUB for removing
the audio, the rest I followed to the letter.

So now, instead of having a moving on two CD's with bitrates
below 1300, I've got three CD's that have bitrates above 1900.
And the quality if superb!

Thanks again Bugster.
