Joining Question, expert help please.........

I have a Canopus ADVC-100, I used ScLive to capture a 2.5 hour program, but by mistake I had set a 1.5 hour limit on each clip, so when I finished recording the program, I noticed that I had two seperate .AVI files, one was 1.5 hours long, and the other was 1 hour long.

How do I go about joining these clips back together again?

If your files are type-2 avi (or you convert them to that format) you could use virtualdub to join them.

Main concept encoder can join on the encoding process to mpeg.

dlb.

Yes, they should be type 2, that was what I selected in the ScLlive menu.

You wouldn't happen to know where to start in Virtual Dub to get into mux mode would you? I haven't used Virtual Dub for anything other than captures with my old capture card.

If not, I guess I can figure it out when I get home from work.

Thanks for your help bro.

Would you then need to use Mainconcept to encode? I use TMPGEnc usually.

In virtualdub. Select file->open and open the first avi file. Then select file->Append Avi Segment and select the second avi file. Now select Video-Direct stream copy, Audio->direct stream copy and File-Save as Avi. This will now save out a new copy of the 2 avi's joined together as 1.

Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, I'll try this when I get home.

Make sure you have 30 Gigs extra.
If not look up Frameserving.

Didn't work, gave me an error saying I didn't have the VFW codec for Windows or something like that.

Download and install the Panasonic DV codec from the tools section.
