Hi,

Im trying to merge two video clips, so that they will play side by side, and I can watch them both at the same time. I want to create one video clip that contains them both.
Does anyone know if this possible, and what software to use?
(I dont want to join two clips to play one after the other).
I've tried using virtualdub and adobe premiere, but can't figure out how to do it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

No, I mean like if you were to have two screens playing at one time with two different videos. And then merge the two to one video that showed two screens.
Like in VirtualDub, where it displys two screens, but they are the same video, so thats not what i want.

Before you try this id suggest going to this site and learn more about this program and what it has to offer.

http://www.avisynth.org/

Ok once your at the site download and install avisynth 2.5.2

After installing you need to create an avisynth script that will stack the two movies side by side, you can also stack them vertically but thats not what you want. Heres how the script should look like:

(NOTE:this method is only for avi clips)

StackHorizontal(AVISource("clip1.avi"), AVISource("clip2.avi"))

Open up notepad and copy and paste the above lines in and change clip1 and clip2 with the location and names of your movies. Save as anything you want but make sure to add the '.avs' extension at the end. Final note the heights of the movies have to be the same otherwise it wont work. Also the color formats have to be the same, which means if one movie was encoded in the RGB format and the other in the YUV format it wont work. Either both in YUV or RGB.

Open the avs file in windows media player and see if it works.

Interesting! Is it possible 4 different screens at the same time with this method? It will looks like security monitor screen.

Im pretty sure its possible. LOL almost anything is possible with avisynth. I havent tried it though but im sure its just a matter of adding some parameters to the above script. If youd like to know more just visit the link i added on the last post.
