Joining video clips

Bot · #1

So, I managed to find a working pass for Taylor Bow's website. The problem is her site is fucking retarded. lol They have all the videos separated into clips. So, if someone can tell me how to join the clips to make one long video, if that's possible, I'll start uploading the videos.

to join mpeg video clips together, follow these instructions:

1) Download TmpegEnc program from their download page.
2)In order to bypass the 30 day restriction on MPEG2 encoding, you must set your system clock to a date in the distant future before installing. Immediately after installing the software set your system clock back to normal time. Now your trial 30 day mpeg2 license will not expire until 30 days from the date you set your system ahead to. You don't need mpeg2 encoding for this project (unless you will burn it to a dvd to play in a set top player) but it may come in handy in the future.
3)Load TmpegEnc program and dismiss the wizard dialog that opens.
4)Click File->MPEG tools
5)Click the tab that says multiplex/join.
6)In the appropriate areas, load the input files and specify the output directory.
7)Click run
8)Test new single file to make sure there are no glitches at the join spots.
9)All Done

Now that you have a nice big fat MPEG file, you will probably want to convert it to an .avi file or .wmv file to get a better level of compression and reduce the file size. For this I would recommend the program(s) VirtualDubMod and/or NanDub using the Xvid codec.
Another opensource utility you may want to investigate is MediaCoder. This app looks to be pretty versatile with tons-o-configuration options and choices.

Hope this helps,

I can't seem to get this to work. The first file is 59 seconds. When I go through the steps you listed, all the files are joined. However, when I play the merged file, it stops after 59 seconds...

Description: QUOTEMediaJoin is software that enables you to easily join (combine) all popular audio and video formats into a single merged audio or video file. Formats supported include MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and WMV. Optionally include audio tag information for combined output audio files. Settings are available for bitrate, frequency, channels, VBR, and WMA profile for audio files; and AVI audio and video codec, MPEG bitrate, frame rate, size, and WMV profile for video files, providing complete output control.

The software supports more formats than other audio and video joiners on the market. In fact, it is the only complete all-in-one solution for joining (combining) audio and video files. With MediaJoin, you get a MP3 joiner, WMA joiner, WAV joiner, OGG joiner, AVI joiner, MPG joiner, and WMV joiner all in the same application!

From the same people who make BlazeMediaPro btw, lol, except this is Freeware; DOWNLOAD

Worked damn well when I needed to put all the seperate tracks from one of the Ministry of Sound Album rips into a single mp3 so I could burn with the CUE file and have no gaps, so, yes - its good..! /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

True, but then you'd edit them before hand anyway.. /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />
