Merging two video files

[jtmccabe]

Can I join two video files using any of the Replay Capture Suite products? It seems like Media Splitter should have this capability but I can't figure out how to do it.

Hi

Unfortuantely, at this time we do not have any programs that can do this, nor can we recomend any. Perhaps another AAC member will respond and suggest something, but Applian is not able to.

Thanks for your understanding,

I assume you want to append one video file after another? What are the video formats that you want to join? Are the video files that you want to join the same format? The reason I am asking these questions, is we are thinking about adding this feature to our products, but we are first trying to see what is the demand for this feature and what are the most common video formats people want to join. If anybody else would benefit from this feature please let us know in this thread.

Thanks,

I currently use a program called Studio from Pinnacle. Which works fine but I really would like to have everything in one program. Now I am using several programs to do what I am doing.

I just have a camcorder that uses the minitapes and I do edit these. I can usually put everything together though with using faders or scene breaks.

I also use the program to make videos and such for my PSP. So far I have had to go outside of Applian to do this also. Susi

My scenario is this: I have several .AVI files on my digital camera and I want to edit portions out and stick the good parts all together into one video. I wouldn't mind converting the .AVIs to some other format first if that were necessary, provided I could do that with your Converter app. It seems like this feature would be just as necessary as the video-splitting feature, so I'm sure it would benefit lots of users. Thanks for considering it.

The demand is great. Go for it.

Yes, I would also like to be able to merge files. Any format. Can always convert first.

Thanks!

I would be interested too. Format isn't a big deal 'cause you can convert it first.

I used RMC to record a training video online with the intent to move it to my iPhone/iPod. It was a 2 1/2 hour video but recorded 438 separate files. I cannot tell what order they should be in. It would seem that a setting for producing a single file ought to be available. If not, then there ought to be a tagging capability built in and an auto concatenation capability. I don't care about the format, but these were mp4 files.

OK. I looked at Media Splitter, but it does NOT list mp4 files. That worries me. And I agree with Jackwannabe that is would seem reasonable that a merge capability should be built into RCM. I am reluctant to try it and fork over another $30 for a program that does what a reasonable person would expect the RCM application to do. And against files not listed as a feature set. I am not angry, I just think that should be re-thought.
