Consult the Tech & PC Chat forum, which is sure to have already covered the more commonly available video editors such as TMPGEnc, Virtual Dub, and others.

A few questions:

 

- First of all, why do you need to create a dvd?

 

- What form of compression? (Mpeg 1? 2? Div-X/X-Vid?)

 

- What DVD software do you usually use?

 

 

One thing that not many people seem to know is that a standard DVD player can play a variety of video formats, straight out of the box. This means that you don't have to do any converting. Furthermore, many players (about 40% of players on the market now) will play DivX and XVid files.

 

If you have a player that can handle that, then all you have to do is put both the files in a folder, name them in order (IE Part 1, Part 2,) and your dvd player will play them seamlessly in order.

 

Otherwise, let me know, and we'll figure it out.

AVI2DVD should be able to do it.

However from what I've seen the problem with joining AVI files is a correct sync between audio and video. The problem is bigger if the audio is MP3 VBR.

So you need to do what is called demuxing. Simply put extract the audio from the video, then joining the audio to one file and the video to another file then joining the 2 back together again.

If you use Nero, or any other easy DVD package to create your disk, if you keep the files seperate you can still have them play directly after one another. THis helps you avoid the pain in the ass resyncing issues, in most cases.
