If you do not want to re-encode them, use VirtualDub. Load your first AVI and then go to File-->Append AVI Segment. Keep doing that until you have loaded all of your AVI files. Then go to Video->Direct Stream Copy. Go to Audio->Direct Stream Copy (All the files must be encoded using the same codec in order for this to work, if they are not, keep reading).

If you do want to re-encode them (or the files are encoded using different codecs), do the same as what is stated above. Instead of going to Video->Direct Stream Copy, go to Video->Full Processing Mode and then go to Video->Compression. Select a Compression Codec and then go to File->Save AVI and save your final file.

I have to repeat this action 50 time so ? i have another serie of 200 files and i don't fell the patience to repeat this action 250 times

Do a Google search or use the Tools sections on the left menu. I'm sure you will find some software that join all those files without problems (if all are the same aspects).

...without problems (if all are the same aspects).

...and use the same codec for both audio and video and use the same bitrate and have the same frame rate - 50 AVI's collected from various places rarely meet these criteria.
What do you want with them all in the end? Author as DVD?

A quick method I have used to combine a lot of similar files (That were made to recombine, such as many parts of a complete video) is a freeware program called Filemerger. The parts need to be numbered sequentially or you can rearrange them within the program.

I just test with 2 files and result i get only 1 of the 2 files as result, i don't think this software re-encode the video annyway

@lupio: You'd get much better replies if you were more specific about your source files than number and extension. Like audio/video codec, frame rate & c. Use GSpot to get that kind of info. It'd also help alot if you told us what you want to do with them in the end.

This is info of one of the file for this serie of 50 files



The result i want to have is juste 1 big file rather then 50 files

Do all AVIs share these characteristics? Like video: DivX 5, 1020 kbps 528*384, Audio: mono MP3 @ 24 kbps? If not, I'm afraid you have to reencode all AVIs to the same specs first, then join them. VirtualDub can do the reencoding (and joining once all files share the same properties) if you want to stick to AVI - TMPGEnc if you want to go mpeg (but mpegs are harder to join).

Yes you right, they need to be re-encoded and rather then encode one by one manually 50 or 200 file i asked for a software who can both re-encode and then join Many file

[mats.hogberg]

IIRC, DivXtoDVD is as close as you'll get - it will reencode a # of AVIs (regardless of properties) to DVD. To me, it seems like an awful lot of work/time to invest just for the sole purpose of having one file instead of 50...

Use avisynth and any encoder. Mainconcept MPEG encoder can convert to mpg and join them. DivX2DVD will convert them to DVD files.

I just try avisynth and this is a tool for pro , i know Nothing about scripting 8)

In fact i created this thread because the first one didn't have anymore reply ( https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1385326#1385326 ) , when i found the Perfect software: mediajoin, he worked perfect last week but after i re-installed XP he crash when i try to join video file (he work for audio file) this tool both re-encode to the codec we choose and join many video files, maybe if you can help me to figure out why he don't work anymore since i re-intalled XP will resolve my problem

Thank's guys
