How to join avi with the same quality into one file without losing quality
 

Hey guys,

How do you join two avi files (with the same bitrates, framerates, audio samples and everything) into one file without losing quality (through reencoding kinda like saving and resaving jpegs) and still be playable on dvd players with divx support?

Can anyone give me walkthrough and programs I need to have? I tried using those 1-click video joiners but it took a long time, quality obviously went down because of recompression and the resulting files size is bigger than the sum of both avis.

I know that mkvmerge can do this, the resulting file will be a matroska container but you can always extract an AVI from it. Importing AVI into mkv always operates directly on the stream, no recompression is done.
IIRC also VDub should provide such a functionality, but I rarely used it.

Thanks liquid acid, but I intend to play the avi on a standaloine dvd player with divx support. COuld you tell me how to join two avis losslessly with Virtual Dub? What is IIRC?

So what? As I said you can always extract an AVI from the resulting matroska container.

No, I have virtually no experience with VDub. Find it out yourself. I only remember that it has this functionality. I might be wrong.

If I Remember Correctly
