View Full Version : Using MeGUI to join 2 streams?

I'm trying to join (merge)/compress 2 streams from an avi using MeGUI. I'm not seeing any way to use the GUI to do this though so I'm guessing that I'll need to use BeSplit or Avisynth but unfortunately I'm a huge newb and not able to figure it out via the guides I've found. Could someone please give some advice?

Are you wanting to keep it as an AVI? And are you trying to merge streams from different AVIs together or are you trying to join an AVI which has been split into two sections? I assume you're just wanting to merge the existing streams without having to re-encode them?

Assuming you're wanting to finish with an AVI maybe VirtualDubMod will be the easiest way, but without knowing exactly what types of streams you're wanting to merge.... There's also AVI-Mux GUI, which will extract streams from a few different types of containers, merge and join them etc and then save the output as a new AVI. If you're not fussed about the AVI container MKVToolNix will extract streams from AVIs, MP4s and MKVs, do all the merging and joining and save the output as an MKV.

MeGUI also has various muxer GUIs under it's Tools menu, but the ones I mentioned previously have a lot more features. It really depends on exactly what you're trying to do. Maybe post back with some more specific details if you require more help.

I'm using a program called Dxtory to record the videos-unfortunately it doesn't mux the speakers and mic on capture and stereo mix isn't an option right now. I'm compressing the output avi to h264 but when I do so with the audio streams being separate naturally you have to switch between mic or in-game sound in wmp/vlc/etc. So I'm just trying to see if there's a way using Avisynth or something in MeGUI to merge those without using other software.

Thanks for telling me about AVI-Mux GUI! It looks like this will definitely be the solution if MeGUI can't do it all.
