Joining 2 AVI Files

[Best Mate]

I have 2 AVI movie files I want to join together, so I tried VirtualDub and when I open the one of the files that I want a message comes up:

Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'MP43' (Microsoft High Speed MPEG-4 V3)
VirtualDub requires a video for Windows(VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. Directshow codecs such as those used by Windows Media Player are not suitable.

Anybody know what this means and how I can join these 2 files together to get my complete movie.

I then want to convert it to DVD format. Is WINAvi the best program to do this?

Thanks

You can try VirtualDub again after you download and install the codec.

Thanks

thanks but where is the codec?

Download Windows Media Player 10, it includes the codec. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b446ae53-3759-40cf-80d5-cde4b...displaylang=en

thanks I already have Windows Media Player 10 installed and the files play fine on it. I just can't put the 2 files together to make 1 movie.

Will this codec from the above link enable me to put the 2 files into 1 using VirtualDub. I have tried using The Film Machine but to no avail.
