Join WMV files - any free programms?

[Digga]

are there any free available programms that can (without reencoding) join multible WMV files?
I did search the forum and the net to no avail.
I'm aware of serveral commercial apps that can do that (Boilsoft, Zealot etc) but I was wondering if a freeware app exists...

cheers,

This reminded me of a program in the WMV SDK called WMVAppend. It's a commandline app. Not sure if it's of any use to you. But in any case:

thanks for your reply Nic.

I'm not very comfortable with CLI, a GUI would be nicer :D
anyway, I tryed to run it with the -h or --h (for help) parameters, but that didn't work...
(e.g. C:\wmvappend\wmvappend.exe -h)
a DOS box pops up and vanishes before I can see anything...

any usage instructions or further hints for a noob? ;)

You're going to have to load a command prompt up, then goto the directory with wmvappend.exe in and run it with no parameters to see the parameters needed.

The commandline will look like this:
wmvappend -o c:\myout.wmv -i1 firstinfile.wmv -i2 secondinfile.wmv
etc

That's all I can help you with, good luck,

even put it into my system32 dict. and run it without any path.

after experimenting a bit I got it finaly working though!

it works if all files (exe plus WMVs) are on C:\ or any other root.
(C:\wmvappend -o c:\all.wmv -i1 01.wmv -i2 02.wmv)
the moment longer paths come into play it doesn't work at all.
(C:\wmvappend\wmvappend -o c:\all.wmv -i1 01.wmv -i2 02.wmv)


anyway, thank you very much for your help!! :)

FYI, I found a GUI for wmvappend:

A question:

The editor of flow of WMV9 does not allow to make this action?

Tell me Digga, I downloaded the GUI of Mcored, after decompression needs one enter the 2 files in the program of WMV9 so that that functions?

Thank you to specify?
