Merging 2 .avi Files (HELP)

[justinbhughes]

Normally when i get a movie, i don't watch it on my computer 'cuz it's too uncomfortable, so i burn them...lately i have just been getting one .avi file and converting it to dvd files...but i have a couple movies that are split into cd1 and cd2 avi files.

is there any way i can merge the two so they are 1 and they burn correctly? or if i just put both files in nero ultra eidtion..6 or whatever, will it work? please help, asap.

I think you're better off converting both files to DVD-compliant MPEGs seperately, then letting your authoring software do the joining.

[justinbhughes]

so, convert the 2 files separately first, then once they are both DVD format, join them with vdub?

no. vdub isn't authoring software

convert to DVD-compliant MPEG-1/2, then use TMPGEnc DVD Author or your favorite authoring software (the software that takes your MPEG files and converts them into IFOs, BUPs and VOBs for you) to join them.
