Problems joining movie clips using VirtualDub 1.5.1

[brain damaged]

Hi!

I'm having some trouble joining together individual short movie clips using VirtualDub 1.5.1. V Dub allows me to open the movie clip, but after I open the clip I can't click on "append AVI segment" to join the next clip to the first one, because this option is "shaded out" on the file-menu drop-down box (it won't let me click on it).

Am I missing a step, or are the clips un-joinable for some reason? Again, V Dub has no trouble opening the clips and scrolling around in them, but it won't let me join them together.

Thanks!

Is the FIRST video in .AVI format?

Windows says that it's a "movie clip"... so I guess not. Sorry, I'm stupid...

Is there any program that can join these movie clips? I don't know exactly what format "movie clip" indicates-- they at least arent MPEGs, though.

"they at least arent MPEGs, though."

1) How do you KNOW this?

2) What is the file extender?

Well ****, they are mpegs. When you asked me what the file extender was, I clicked around on windows, trying to figure that out, and I realized that I had "hide common file extensions" selected-- and when I de-selected that option there was the .mpeg tag, sure enough.

Thanks for your help-- sorry to waste your time!!! I'll try an mpeg editor program.

My pleasure ;>}


Good luck, now that you know where you're headed...
