help w/ merging Divx movie in VirtualDub

[kbd]

I have the movie Lord of the Rings on 3 80min cds. All 3 files have everything the same. What I'm trying to do is join all 3 files together to get the entire movie (just like u get all the *.vob files when ripped from DVD) and then use TMPGEnc to encode SVCD out of it. Can any 1 show me how to do it so it joined flawlessly and that the audio and video are not out of sync.

In VDUB open the first AVI, then choose your next file by going to 'File' then 'Append AVI Segment,' then do that one more time for your last file. After that go to the 'Video' option and click the 'Direct Stream processing' do the same for the 'Audio' option. then just save your new AVI.

Hi Kbd,

Do as Gravity told, and put both audio and video on "direct stream copy"
in that way you don't have to re-encode the file. And the result is the
three file sized added together.

good luck.

ok, I did as Gravity said and I have this 2.03gig file. When I use TMPGEnc to encode a SVCD, the video and audio source are that big file that I got. But the first cd (40min on an 80min cdr), the audio and video are perfectly fine. When I encode the second cd, the audio is way out of sync, like thunder and lightning. So what I did was I appended all 3 files on the cd together in VDUB, then select direct stream for video and audio as well. Then I save as WAV, to get the audio file only (i.e. Audio.wav). Then I change the file extension to audio.ac3. I use HeadAche to get another audio file and that file would be the source for the encoding in TMPGEnc. While VDUB is processing to get the audio file, after the first cd file, I got the following error everytime.

"Bad Syncword at frame 110027! The AC3 stream is probably corrupt."

can any 1 tell me why or show me another way how to make the audio and video not out of sync please.
