Hey thanks attar - but I'm confused.
Does that mean that you can just concatenate files together regardless of type or format or resolution or anything and that you'll then get one big file to use with no sync issues???
Also that confuses me about something - does that REALLY work ok with things like AVIs, WMVs, etc? Don't they have any header information in the files that would get screwed up if you do that???? (I assumed that you could not do a simple concat like that and you needed video processing software to do it that would read the headers & somehow process the files in some way?? That concatenating files like that doesn't really work for stuff other than text files (???).
And the root of my question is still unanswered - can you mix together AVIs, WMVs, MPGs, etc and not have audio sync issues? I could've sworn I've read some things about that being a problem, but things are a jumble in my head as far as trying to retain & absorb all this ;-\
Also this reminds me to ask 2 other things - if I use ConvertXDVD v2 to do this and just put all the files together as seperate titles, is there a limit on the # of titles a DVD can have? Because the bunch of files I have now that I want to do this to are very short videos, some only 1 minute in length! So I could have like 80 or 90 title "breaks" - is that even allowed?
And switching gears - assuming the DOS concatenation works without issues - how would I then put chapter marks for each joined file in my DVD???? That would seem like a long manual task to do right??
Or, (sorry for all these questions), if I were to use something like DVDFLICK or ConvertXDVD v3 that lets you MERGE all the seperate files together into ONE title - how do you tell those programs to automatically put CHAPTER breaks at all those merge points??? I would think if that were possible it would be a simple switch setting/option of some kind, whereas with the DOS concatenation method since you would be feeding one large file into the program for DVD convervsion it would have no idea where to put the chapters and it would be a manual process that you would then have to go back & do (?).
Up to this point I've used ConvertXdvd v2 and set the chapters to go like every 5 minutes and never was able to figure out how to put a chapter at a specific point but I didn't really care about that either (how do you do that? and also does it work different in V3?)....I've not gotten into messing with any DVD "authoring" programs but perhaps that is what you need if you do that?? Yes???
