Nope - not going to happen. The AVI file container does not support augmentation. The only way you can do it is to convert them into MPG or MP4 files, combine them and convert it back to AVI.

PC User's TVrip 2 and RockPod 5 apps will work doing it this way.

Cheers, Darren.

You could also throw them into a video editor and re-encode the whole thing in AVI if you prefer, but, you can't simply butt-join AVI files together.

Cheers, Darren.

I think virtual dub has done avi's for a while, though with some caveats:

Yep, VOB files can be butt-joined. You can even do it in DOS:

copy /b movie1.vob+movie2.vob+movie3.vob biggermovie.vob

Cheers, Darren.

There's not much more to explain - copy the media files to the same folder, launch the DOS prompt and fill in the video names in the commandline below.

copy /b movie1.vob+movie2.vob+movie3.vob biggermovie.vob

Cheers, Darren.
