combining 2 avis into one project

kingmatt · 8th May 2003, 14:06

I have used Powerdirector Pro V2 to make a DV movie but it has split the final avi into a 4gb and a 2gB AVI clip. How do I recombine the two clips so I can put them into DVD2SVCD and create an SVCD?

Edit the AviSynth file DVD2SVCD creates, and change the AviSource command:

Code:

AviSource("...\file1.avi") + AviSource("...\file2.avi")

Hope that helps.

@bb

Question about what you suggested ...

I was trying to solve for the same thing ( 3 or 4 AVI files to be made into 1 SVCD ). I searched and I found some options
(1) = Use NanDub to join the AVI ( had trouble with adjusting framerate - very minor mis-match )
(2) something like what you said - editing the AVS file.

Is there any significant difference in encoding time using one method or the other ?
I know method (1) is painful for me as the framerates never exactly match - they are off at the fourth decimal place !
So, I need to adjust framerates, create the adjusted AVI and then create the combined AVI.
Your method seems just easier to do -- does it care about the minor frame-rate mismatches ?

sorry for the long post - would appreciate your thoughts on these

Thanks !

You may try AviSynth's AssumeFPS command. Well, just try it.
