Combine avi files

Orion

I have three avi files which I'd like to combine into a single avi file. Does anyone know if this can be done?

[edit] I'm a cheap ***tard so I'm ain't paying for any software to do it - I'll probably one need it this once anyway.

virtualdub will do it, but the avi's must be identical in their format. codecs use for audio and video, bit rates resolution, everything must be identical (i.e. from the same source). your chances of doing this otherwise are very slim at best unless you convert to an intermediate format then stitch those together, which will be a real pain.

Yeah, I was thinking that it may have been a movie d/l from BT which had been split 3 ways to fit onto cd discs and would then most likely be the same res, bitrates and codecs. VD would likely still be able to do it though by converting 'em all to the same settings one at a time and then joining the converted files. I know it would be a lot of chopping and changing but it should be possible and VD is a pretty fast working program.

I'd never do anything like that

The avis are all 250mb for some reason - they're all the same codec and bitrates afaik. I'll give vd a try (that sounds odd to say for some reason )

This will work fine....just make sure you set the video to "Direct Stream Copy" or VDub will save the avi's uncompressed e.g HUGE filesize.

All that matters is the the resolution and codec are the same for video and the sound uses the same codec and samplerate. (eg mp3@48,000 or whatever)

Virtual Dub is the best tool for the job,
