An elaborate guide on merging AVI files
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) serves as a multimedia file format utilized for producing and playing movies. You can merge AVI files to amalgamate various short clips and create 1 final full-length video. There are numerous programs that facilitate the merging of AVI files.
Procedure
Merging AVI Files Using VirtualDub
Get VirtualDub from the SourceForge website and proceed with its installation on your computer.
Start VirtualDub and open a video file by clicking on 'Open' in the File menu.
Locate and select the first AVI movie clip you wish to include, then click 'Open.' You've now added the initial AVI file for merging in VirtualDub.
Move the timeline slider to the end of the first clip.
Access the File menu and choose 'Append AVI Segment.' This will prompt the file browser to appear again, allowing you to pick the second movie clip.
Choose the second AVI file using the file browser, just as you did with the first one.
Click 'Open' to load the file into VirtualDub (it will appear at the end of the timeline, following the first clip).
Maintain the original video compression settings by selecting 'Video' and then choosing 'Direct Stream Copy.'
Apply identical audio compression settings by selecting 'Direct Stream Copy' from the Audio menu.
Save the combined AVI file by selecting 'Save As AVI' from the File menu and indicating the location where you wish to store the merged file.
