I know this sounds such an easy question but i am having so much difficulty
joing two MPG's together as i have CD1 & CD2 (45 mins each roughly) and
would like them to be one full length movie as at the moment i'm using Nero
to make a Menu system then i put the two MPG's onto DVDr but would prefer to
have just the one MPG.

I have tried DVtool to combine them but when i burn the file it only comes
out as CD1 and when i play the combined file on my PC, the whole movie is
there but the run time is roughly 45 minutes (CD1).

Any help?

I don't understand why people would want to make a
DVD with one big MPEG, instead of authoring a proper
Video DVD. That said VideoReDo www.VideoReDo.com
has a great joiner.

TMPGEnc Free will also work, though ironically, the commercial version
(at least Express) does not.

Yea, I never figured out why they crippled "MPEG Tools"
after 2.5; unless it was to "Encourage" their new Editor sales.
I still have both 2.5 and 3.0 Express and so far the money I
spent on 3.0 was a waste. I even find that 2.5 will handle
some files that 3.0 won't even load.

I like Express a lot (particularly the interface), but yes, the older
version does come in handy at times.

Thanks Vlad, I hadn't thought of that. We really need
some new terms. AVI & MPEG cover way too much
ground and when is a DVD, a DVD?

Why not use a .m3u file?

Create a text file, rename it to film.m3u. Open it in Notepad, then copy and
paste the filenames into it like this:
filmcd1.mpg
filmcd2.mpg

Then save and run the file, and Bob's your uncle!

Martin.

How is that going to help?

Being a beginner, who doesn't know much, I can't see the problem here. Not
knowing any better I would just open both CD1 and CD2 in what ever editing
application you use, treat them as clips, then save the result as a made movie
in whatever format you want - eg mpg or avi or burn to a DVD.

Or is that too easy?

I did exactly that but for some reason the clip played from start to finish
which looked ok on my PC but only displayed the track time for CD1 so when i
burnt the combined CD1 & CD2, only CD1 came out.

I have since found a better programe to do this and can join them ok, took a
while to find though.
