Joining Video Files

I have two videos that I would like join together into one file. What is the best way to do this?

I tried using Ultra Video Joiner. The resulting file would lose audio/video sync if I skipped around in the file. I switched encoders. I had originally used DivX. I figured the problem was with DivX because I always seem to have bad luck with that codec. I tried using XviD and I had the same problem.

I used GSpot to find out the framerate and resolution of the original files. I use those values in the encoding process and it still gets messed up.

Any ideas? Does the codec used to encode the file make any difference? They are compressed with DivX 5.0. Perhaps I should download that version of DivX and try joining with that?

 

I'd look on VideoHelp.com. There are lots of tools and expertise over there. What file format are they in?

 

They are AVIs encoded with DivX 5.0. I'm getting to the point where I cannot stand DivX. The people who say that DivX and XviD are interchangable must be mistaken. I rarely have problems with XviD, but DivX is always causing trouble. This is one of the first times that I've had an XviD movie lose sync.

I'll look around on that site. Thanks for the link. Hopefully it will all work out.

I suppose I could try joining them and setting the output file to MPEG. Perhaps then I'd have better luck with the encoding process. I'd like to avoid that, if at all possible.

 

Its been sooo long since I did this. I know TMPGEnc can cut and join mpg files.

 

For join video files, i'm using VideoChrage, very easy soft and powerfull soft.

Very much to you I recommend to try.

Sometimes, virtualdubmod will work.
