Is there any way to merge 2 mpeg files into 1?? so that the end of the first is connected to the beginning of the second??

I tried this with .mpg files, not sure if it works with avi.

open notepad,
type this:
copy /b mpgfile1.mpg + mpgfile2.mpg mpgfile3.mpg

mpgfile1.mpg is your first movie. mpgfile2.mpg is your second movie.
if you have more than two, just add more + mpgfile3.mpg + mpgfile4.mpg, ...

the last filename (without the "+") is the new name for the combined files.

save the notepad file as a bat file. (*.bat)
move it on the same directory as your movie files.
run the bat file.

Tom3,
There is a program named Camel's mpeg join. E-mail me if you want it.

You can also do something similar by yourself; while this method doesn't let you merge 2 files into 1, It will let you play one file after another automatically.

Open a new text document and type this:

<ASX version = &quot;3.0&quot;>

<Entry>
<Ref href = &quot;file1.mpeg&quot; />
</entry>
<Entry>
<Ref href = &quot;file2.mpeg&quot; />
</entry>

</ASX>


Where file1 and file2 are your files; and if you have more files then just create a new line :) I have done this with asf files, I think it will also work with mpeg's and avi's!

BTW, after you have done this, change the file extension of the text document to asx
