Joining 2 AVI files-is there a quick & easy way?

DEBTMONKEY1A

Hi!

If a movie fule is AVI format in 2 halves-is there a QUICK/EASY way to join them (I'm so not technically minded) so I don't have to click on part 2 to continue (films on a USB stick via an LG BLU RAY).

Thanks!

Wow-thanks guys! I did download 'emicsoft video converter' which DID merge the 2 files-however it compressed too 900mb-should have been 1.6gb-quality NOT good at all. So I take it these 2 programmes just merge & don't compress??

I'm particularly impressed by the 'extract audio' setting on any-video....I'm going to pull out the audio from the most recent Depeche Mode concert DVD I have. Thanks guys!

I've recently been using iWisoft Free Video converter and if you convert a batch of files there is a tick box to allow the files to be merged to one file.

For a simple join, virtualdub is definitely the way to go.

I use Easy Video Joiner mostly .. http://www.doeasier.org/joiner/ ..

Free to register and does the job well enough.

If you're a Windows user then you probably already have Windows Movie Maker.

The version which ships with W7 (v2.6) is far more stable than old versions.

Avidemux is really easy and quick to use (and free of course!)
