What were the original sizes of the avis, and which program did you use for the joining?

About the 93gb AVI, can you play and view it?

Well, something is definitely wrong here. Maybe you could try:

1) use e.g. Media Player Classic to view and check the length of the AVI. If it's like 2 hours, then the file size could never be 93 gb.

2) split the AVI into e.g. two parts and check the resultant file sizes. If they become 'normal' again, abandon the huge AVI and keep the two 'normal' portions, then do the joining all over again. If the two portions still add up to become 93 gb, or if the pc says splitting cannot be performed because you don't have enough harddisk space, then might as well abandon all the files if they are not vitally important. No point in risking things for keeping them.

Good luck!

So it could have been an error with the time counter. Many programs can split and join avis (e.g. Power Video Converter, X Video Converter, DVDSanta).

Good luck!
