I have Alive Video Joiner, I really do not like it. What program is good for doing video joing preferable quick or faster than Alive at least :P?

What type of videos (AVI / MPEG / WMV) ?

Are you joining just for PC playback, or will you convert to VCD/SVCD/DVD ?

This is the best

joining MPEG for DVD playback.

joining MPEG for DVD playback.

Not recommended. Let your authoring program do it when you create your DVD. It should play seamlessly.

Yep!!!
Any program i have ever used to join files never seemed to do as good of a job as just letting your authoring program do it. always some anamoly at the joining point!!!

Okay. I use Ulead DVD Workshop. How do I actually get them to join though with that? Is there a guide somewhere? I know how to add video, but I never did any joining inside of it. :P

Check out the online manual for dvd WS2 here;

Page 63 outlines joining clips. Good luck. I have, however found WS2 very buggy and tempermental for my taste.

thanks . I haven't had a problem with it as of yet.

EDIT: for some reason Workshop is not detecting all the video files, only one at a time. I can't join if it's not showing all the clips in the SCENES box.

wondering if someone can help me out.

I hope you're not depending on someone here to give the answers to you on a silver platter.

As mentioned almost a week ago, most authoring programs should do this on their ear. TMPGEnc DVD Author (30 day fuilly functional free trial) is one such program, and is very newbie friendly.
