Are the files of the form Movie.CD1.avi and Movie.CD2.avi?
If yes, then use Avidemux to join them.
Open Avidemux, go to File->Open, navigate to where your AVI files are placed and open CD1. Say "Yes" to whatever messages you get. Then go to File->Append, browse to where CD2 is placed, open it, say "Yes to whatever messages you get; go to File->Save->Save Video and choose where you want to save the merged movie, give it a name, for example Movie.Joined.avi, or whatever, just make sure you have the .avi extension. Should be done in a couple of minutes.

Yes, it would, but you would have to convert to Nero Digital, mp4.
With Avidemux(VirualDub works similarly), the joining is done without any re-encoding(hence no quality loss), and is all done in a matter of a minute or two. The second part of the video is seamlessly appended to the end of the first.

hi cy :)
just to make sure i'm was not talking out of my *ssh*le as usual. i've just stuck 4 short avi's through recode (which in affect is the same as cd1/cd2) came out perfect as one long movie so far as i can see.

not into the tech stuff. from what i could see, all it did was encode then burn
encoding took a few seconds and the burn the usual at 8x for 4.360. or am i missing something. (always willing to learn) :)

Hey there Mr.G!
I might be talking out of my arse:).
What Nero do you use? I use version 7, maybe they have implemented new features in newer versions?
And do you use "Recode DVDs and Videos to Nero Digital"? That would convert the AVI(Divx/xvid) to an mp4(AVC).

Hmm))...here's all the options that I have in Recode.I don't have the "Remake DVD", but "Compile DVD" I am thinking would be it's counterpart. Using that, would only load a Video
_TS folder...
None other would work to load a couple of AVI and join them without re-encoding:

hi :)
do all my editing re-authoring with it + all my avi's etc. with it
find it especially good and easy to take various bits off several Dvd's and files to compile one Dvd ie. weddings/parties
i'd better try 7 and 8 i suppose...could be giving out the wrong info for more up to date versions :)

"Create your own DVD using parts from different DVD sources."
Are you sure it works for AVI files and not just DVD compilations? If somehow it works on AVI files(is something that Nero Vision would do from what I know), that would be something else...

hi cy :)
i'm a bl**dy fool.
just tried again...been taking the files from the wrong HDD (got 3 on here)
so used to converting my avi's straight away. forgot there already converted on one drive and not the other.
your dead right..they need converting first
you have my permission to poke me in the eye with a very sharp stick
senile some thing or other setting in :(
serves me right for doing things on auto drive :)

"Poke"!!!LOL!
Senility can be a wondrous thing too- can make you miss or not remember a lot of unpleasant things:)
Cheers!

strewth guys.. you don't even need a swiss army knife like avidemux for this.. you can use ffmpeg with
ffmpeg file1 file2 > file-out ..
with no pretties.. or even cat (concatenate = join)
cat file1 file2 > file-out
but I guess command line manipulation is "too complicated" for windoze users.. so how about some pretty and braindead simple freeware??
http://www.doeasier.org/joiner/
it's a belting little app.. I put it on peoples lappys for them.. along with subs workshop to join up the cd1.srt and cd2.srt files which come with them.. hahahaha

LOL,Paula, yes, command line is complicated for us non-Linux noobs:)
Avidemux might be overly equipped, but cannot get any easier than drag part 1, drag part 2, click save:). It is still a 4-5 click process, and typing ffmpeg file1 file2 , takes about 15 characters input as well:)
