Joining MPG and recompressing

[Bocca]

i have this problem: I joined 7-8 .mpg files into one. Sound is great, syncronized, everything works fone. But the file is 730 mb heavy. When i tried to recompress it VDM opened just the first mpg of all joined.

any idea how to opet the whole mpeg and recompress it?

How did you join them?

[Bocca]

with little program called "Easy Video Joiner". Those were all simple plain mpeg1 files

Try using DGMPGDec to open all the original files at once and serve into VirtualDub.

Are you simply trying to RECOMPRESS and retain as MPEG-1s, or are you trying to CONVERT to .AVI?

@neuron2: I have no original files anymore :(

@setarip_old: OK, my fault, i'm trying to convert it!

You might want to try first demultiplexing and then (re) multiplexing the video and audio streams of this improperly joined MPEG.

One way to do this is by using "TMPGEnc":

TMPGEnc>>File>>MPEGTools>>Simple Demultiplex

and then

TMPGEnc>>File>>MPEGTools>>Multiplex

(I won't ask why you no longer have the originals...)
