there is plenty free software to do what you want (read above posts), BUT you say you haven't got a dvd burner - 'fraid i'm all out of divine intervention this morn :)
Nero Burning Rom will not allow me to put the file into the VIDEO_TS folder when using the DVD-Video maker. It says the file exceeds 2GB and ISO cannot hold that large of a file, and to use UDF. That requires to make a DVD-ROM which my player will not read. I know there has to be away around this problem, but I dont know what it is.. so that is my question.. how do I make Nero accept the movie file?
Quote: I have to first join 2-3 different files of same movie and then copy it.Plz help me.
Why? Only 80' of VCD movie (lass for a SVCD) fit on a CD-R. If you need to 1) take pieces from 2) join some mpeg movies, you can do TMPGenc___Merge & Cut. Obviously all files must be of the same type (you cannot join a SVCD mpeg to a VCD one).
3) Cynex, read 1) and do not Nero. Use the methods posted on http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ .
I struggled with winavi batch media files convertion which is anything but user friendly. Clicking on "add file" twice, adding the 2 files seperately that you want to put on a single DVD disc, results in a message half way through the process to say that the file already exists. If you quit, well you quit. If you continue, the folder containing the VOB files for the first converted file is overwritten.
The solution is to click "add file" then select both files at once (using ctrl click) and "open". Trouble then is that files are added in reverse order i.e. files listed as CD1 and CD2 will be processed CD2 then CD1 so your eventual burnt DVD will start half wy through.
The easiest way to overcome this seems to be to rename the original files so that 1 becomes 2 and 2 becomes 1. It then works like a dream.
Pity the whole thing's a nightmare to discover. Surely this can be sorted out by the software writers.
You can hover your mouse pointer over the file titles in the final window to check that they read CD2 then CD1 (now the "correct" order) before OK-ing the convertion process.
In the that same final window you can hit "advanced" and then select "constant video quality" (then select from lowest to highest, resulting in increasingly large files which may be too much for one DVD disc) or "constant video size" where you can select 1 disc and disc capacity 4300MB and Winavi produces VOB files to neatly fill 1 disc, thus maximising quality, hopefully!! Worth noting that whatever you set will remain the default next time you use Winavi.
