Joining 2 like AVI files

[Oceanb0rn]

I'd like to simply join or attach two video files of exactly the same format (video and audio) and size and whatnot. I'd prefer to do a simple join without re-encoding if possible, but my AMD64 3200+ is up to the task if I have to encode anything.

I've tried burning DVDs with DVD Santa 4.0, but when I do a movie that comes in 2 files, DVD Santa does each half as its own Title. If there's a way to force DVD Santa to record to only one title, that would solve the problem.

One person on another forum recommended "All Video Joiner". I tried that, but it didn't actually join anything, it just doubled the size of the first file. (Well, it made a new file twice the size, I should say - the original was unaffected.) Someone else recommended Quicktime, which I already had... it said it didn't like the audio - unrecognized or something. The audio is Ac3 (and the video Divx 5).

Any suggestions?

Use windows movie editor, works great.

lol! Trying all these freeware/shareware applications, and the one that comes with WinXP might work.

I find it funny... you go to import a video into Movie Maker, and it takes forever. Then you go to drag all of the clips into the timeline, and a window pops up saying it could take a few minutes... but it takes a second or two. Funny there was no such warning when I went to open the file.
