Hi all,

I have to encode some videos for which I use mencoder for MorphOS 0.91 and all works very well!

Now the only problem I have is that the video film, which is more or less 8 min. long, comes in 2 files (in this example: video_001.avi which is 1 GB and the 2nd video_002.avi which is 750 MB) and I could not find a solution to join the 2
files before (or after) encoding them with mencoder in order to get a 8 min. final avi.

I tried to find a program on the net to join files, like "block" from Christian Rosentreter, but it seems not to work for this application.

If anyone has an idea how I could solve this I would very much appreciate.

Also there are several commands like Audio CBR or Algo Quality etc. in Devedie: Encode I was not able to find docs for.


Thanks in advance for all your help.

Christoph

@RMS
for joining/splitting try joinsplitter

Hmmm maybe i'm stupid, but how can 1,7 GB be a 8 minute video? Huh?

Just curios, not that i know how to fix your prob

@ Ingo

well this is the problem, the files come from a peecee!

They are uncompressed digital video in avi format.

Now the peecee does a split per 1GB (I dont know but it seems that filesystems on peecee do not support more than 1 GB per file) and that is why I have to join them.

After encoding this 1.7 GB video, which is 720x576, using high quality setting in mencoder it's only about 230 MB!

Regards

Christoph
