Merging Video files with extensions .avi.001 to .avi.009

[PeteRooney]

I have a film which is split into a series of files in the format xxx.avi.001, xxx.avi.002 to xxx.avi.009.
I can open the first file in VirtualDub, but can't append any of the remaining files to it. I get the message "Invalid AVI file: Not a RIFF file"
Can anyone help me out, or suggest an alternative tool to use, please?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

Try using HJsplit in joining mode

If those are simply parts of a single AVI file, concatenating the binary files should work.

Simply goto "Start" -> "Run...", type "cmd.exe", press Enter and then use the following command line:

copy /B xxx.avi.001 + xxx.avi.002 + xxx.avi.002 + ... + xxx.avi.009 joined.avi

In Total Commander, you can just select the first file and go in the File menu and select "Combine files". It will automatically detect all segments and combine them.

Hi! I have a film which is split into a series of files in the format xxx.avi.001, xxx.avi.002 to xxx.avi.009.

1) Why you split your original .AVI to start with, and

2) How you split the file, and

3) Why you can't just use the original .AVI that you created

As I understand his question, the files were already split.
Maybe that is why he wants to join them all together.

It's hard to imagine why he got the files "already split" without a rule #6 violation ;)

Maybe there is a legitimate reason though...

Have you tried AimerSoft's video converter?
You had a similar problem a while ago: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1205760#post1205760

As far as I know that file was split with HJSplit (http://www.freebytesoftware.com/download/hjsplit.zip) and you can join the parts with the same program ;)
