    Hey, i have 2 avi files which need to be joined together. After a bit of googling i tried out VirtualDub which unfortunately did not work due to the 2 files being of different frame rates... :(

    Looking at what is available, the only products i have been able to find that will join 2 avi's of differing frame rates are ones that cost money. Is there any free alternative out there? I don't want to join the files badly enough that i'd pay you see...

    Have you tried windows movie maker ? Im not sure if it will do it but it should, and is free. Also Sony Vegas 9 will deffo do it, but i dont know if there is still a trial of this anymore.

    AVI does not support variable frame rates, though other containers like MKV and maybe OGM do.

    So you are going to have to convert the frame rate of one of the videos to the same as the other if you want to stick with AVIs. This can be done easily (but not very well depending on what you're converting) with VirtualDub, but can be done very well and for free with AviSynth (I can help you with that part as it requires writing scripts).

    What are the two framerates? VirtualDub and other things will tell you.

    Of course this will end up in having to re-encode the videos, which could see a significant reduction in quality.

    I tried this, worked grand... As the clip is kinda long, i only flicked through it, quality isn't the same as it was in the 2 files, but it's 100% watchable...

    BTW: It saved it as a WMV file...
