Combining Multiple AVI files, Please Help!

[Wilbo18]

HELP!!! I have a avi file that is split into three files avi, avi.002 and avi.003. I have no clue how to merge these files together. Please anyone with any clue is appreciated. Thank you.

Assuming these files are of the same format (ie. compressed by the same codec), have the same resolution (ie. size) and of the same sampling rate, you can use nandub to do the job.

1. Open first video in nandub
2. "Append AVI segment... " and open the second file
3. Set both Video and Audio tabs to DIrect Stream Copy
4. Go to File -> Save as AVI... and give a name to the new video that contains the first and second video
5. Repeat steps (1)-(4) with the new video and third video

Nandub is the same as virtualdub and it does not work. The files I have have an extension <filename>.avi.002 and so on. What can I do. Please anyone who can help me is appreciated.

I believe you may need HJSPLIT to join these files.

The first file of the three that i'm try to combine just has a regular extension <filename>.avi and the two other parts are <filename>.avi.002 and <filename>.avi.003

I am unfortunately unaware what compression format was used. You could try WINRAR.

Can you at least play the individual files (like if you drag'ndrop them on a player window)? If yes, you can just rename them to .avi extension (for easier access). If not, it might be indeed an archive.

Well, thank you all for your help and info. I appreciate it very much.

I think that your files may have been split with a program called "Mastersplitter". I have used it myself many times, and it's great to split a huge file (that you eventually is gonna put back together again).

Used a lot before when CD burning was lightyears away. Used it to split files over 1.44 MB to fit on several floppy disks, and then join the files when copying it all to a hard drive.

It's shareware and can be found here:

Hope it helps.

.002 etc

these files are files that are split up from an original main file... ie . main divx movie split into 50 files.... like winrar files they are split up and sometimes are compressed but .00* files are usually not compressed... anyway the best program to combine these files together is called 7-Zip or winrar can do the trick... i recommend winrar because it is well used over the internet but 7-Zip is also impressive... just click on the first file .001 and open the program with windows feature - Open With... and select one of the 2 programs and extract the files that you see in the new window and vwala you have the main file.

Hope this is helpful to you
