[flashcabaja64]

i have 2 rmvb files i want to convert to 1 file. how do i do that?

[Sirber]

you can use rmeditor for that task, if video codec, audio codec and bitrate are the same.

[flashcabaja64]

yea they're all the same. ive dled that editor program. what do i do next?

[Sirber]

Read the commandline help. I don't know them by heart :)

[flashcabaja64]

does it only extract out to .rm? i want like something tmpgenc can read. do you know?

[Sirber]

It will output RM. You can use AVISynth to use it in tmpgenc

[flashcabaja64]

how do u use avisynth? what do u type? or do u know any other program which will extract to a format that tmpgenc can read?

[Sirber]

RMVB --> DirectShowSource --> VDubMod.

Skip all that, too complicated,

1. Download/Install/Run RealProducer Basic 10
2. Click File/Edit RealMedia File
3. Click File/Open RealMedia File
4. Click File/Append RealMedia File
5. Click File/Save RealMedia File As...

As nathanmoorehead suggests, rmeditor is the best option, but will not always work. rmeditor requires the two files to have the same resolution, and same audio bitrate and codec.

For those who prefer the cmd line method, it is as simple as
rmeditor -i file1.rm -i file2.rm -o joinedfile.rm

To join two files that are different, you will either have to transcode, or join them in a SMIL presentation, or a .ram "playlist". A .ram playlist is a text file, where you can just put the two RM filenames after one another, and RealPlayer will play the files sequentually.
