i would like to add 2 or 3 seconds with the name of the
avi at the begining. wondered what i would use to make
the full screen (centered) name ? and then what glues
them together ? is this possible ?

You could create a simple .srt sub like this:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:3,000
Movie Title

If you have DirectVobSub installed and the .srt in the same directory and named the same as the file, it will display whatever you enter as the name. It won't be large or centered, but it's very legible.

Another very simple way to accomplish this would be to create a JPG or BMP graphic of your desired opening title - and then using the "Video Constructor" tool in Blaze Media Pro, with the framerate set to 0.25 fps (equals 4 seconds), to save as an .AVI.

You can then use VirtualDub (or VirtualDubMOD) to join the .AVIs...

avisynth also allows using images

I don't know why I forgot to mention the simplest method of all (as far as I know) to create an opening title .AVI - Use AVIEdit's text title creator tool (Just click on the "Text" icon)...
