Sometimes you want to split an AVI file in order to make
it fit in a CD, but then you want to join it again so that
you can watch the whole movie without stop or you want to
put it in a DVD-R. Follow this guide to easily join an AVI
file with VirtualDub. If you have splitted an AVI file with
our AVI split guide then read the additional steps to joins
these files without repeating the key-frames again. If your
video fies contain VBR Mp3 sound please use VirtualDubMod
which you can find, as well as the original VirtualDub here.
TO JOIN TWO VIDEO FILES THEY MUST HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION,
BITRATE, CODEC ETC
Open VirtualDub. Then select Video
-> Direct stream copy
Next go to Audio and select Source
audio and Direct stream copy.
Then select File -> Open video
file.
Here select the first one of the video files you
want to join and select Open.
Now select File -> Append AVI segment. You
can do this as many times to add as many AVI files you want.
Finally select File -> Save as AVI and save
the whole video.
Name it anyway you want and click Save.
This is the process window. Wait about 15-30 minutes
for it to finish and there you go!
EXTRA STEPS
If you have splitted the AVI file with our AVI Split guide
then you have to do some more steps. That's because we added
a key-frame (about 3-4 sec) of the first part to the second
part to be sure that we are not going to lose a second. So:
Follow the above guide until Step 4 then do the steps
below and continue the guide above from Step 5 to the end.
After that click button (1), then button (2) and then press
DEL at your keyboard or go Edit -> Delete selection.
