Combine three avi files (different in audio compr,frame rate) using Virtual Dub. Noob

[Snoopdupe]

Hi

I am wondering to know if there is a way/ steps to combine three different avi files using Virtual dub. All the three files have different parameters like audio compression type,frame rate etc. I am a very noob to Virtual dub and when I use Virtualdub to combine these files it is not happy about it. Can some one give me me "simple" steps to accomplish this. I need this to be done ASAP. Thanks much for th esupport

imho if you want to use virtualdub you must reencode all files with the same settings for all.

A quick way could be using matroska: you can create a single file by joining all 3 files.

I cant find mmg.exe anywhere after downloading the matroska. Can you give me the link where exactly I can download mmg.exe, cuz I have got matroska pack and matroska shell extension and I have no clue how to go about it.
Thanks

if you want to append in matroska the track still have to have the same properties.

[buzzqw]

are you sure ?

afaik only width/height must be the same... :confused:

or am i in error ? :eek:

BHH

[stephanV]

yup im sure...

Haalis splitter does support it though if you just join matroska files with copy /b. But im not sure if thats an official feature and if so how far it is implemented besides Haali's splitter.

make an mkv of each file

then from dos promt

copy /b film1.mkv+film2.mkv+film3.mkv full.mkv

install haali splitter http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/

Happy playing (or i hope so)

You can try demuxing the audio from all 3 files, try joining the new video-only files, joining the separate audio together (copy /b) and muxing that in the new matroska file.

However, if the audio files are of all different parameters, then you need to re-encode the audio to something consistent.

I've never done it this way, because I've never had to. Get perfect results 95% of the time. But this way should work.
