Hi guys,
I have a film in two parts .mpg and the only thing I can use to play them is Video LAN Player. I can't even use AVICodec on them to see what they comprise of.
They are great quality and I really want to burn to DVD but I have no idea where to start.
Both parts are 700mb, and won't open with Windows Media Player etc.
I don't even know how to join the two mpgs together :( I know VirtualDub for joining avi's, but can it join .mpg's too?
I have a bad feeling about them tho' as normally im sure mpg's should play in Windows Media Player!
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Sorry, I never to that I cannot answer you (TMPGenc Merge & Cut joind MPEG-2 files for SVCD, can you use it for DVDs?).
But if VirtualDub can join AVI why don't you
1) compress MPG --> AVI (DivX or Xvid multipass) with Virtualdub
2) join the 2 AVIs
3) decode the joined AVI --> 'joined' MPEG-2 with TMPGEnc?
And, remmeber MPEG-2 play on WMP only if you have an optional MPEG-2 decorder installed (but since you see the single movies, it seems you've it installed).

Great thanks for you suggestion, I will try it when I get home from work!
I thought about reducing to avi's but I didn't think you could go backwards in a sense!
Thanks again!

Yes, you can. If you have good codecs (DivX, Xvid) and will use multipass (great size but few quality loss) you won't lose much quality.
Just a caution: when you encode back AVI --> MPG with TMPGenc use Settings --> Video --> Very High Quality (very slow) or you'll lose quality in the movie.

Yes, also TMPGenc's MPEG Tools ---> Merge & Cut works fine (but maybe you need TMPGEnc Plus?).
