Joining Multiple movies

Using the Join manager, one can load up multiple segments of a SINGLE movie and join them into a single move. However, I'd like to load up segments from movies/TV shows, and after ordering them correctly, have the Join manager merge them into multiple movies base on the file names.

For example: If I have 2 My Three Sons episodes, 3 segments for each show, and themy are named something like "Chips_Big_day_pt1.avi", "Chip_Big_Day_pt2.avi" and Chips_Big_Day_pt3.avi", and maybe "Bubs_gone_p1.avi", etc. Replay Media Splitter should be able to join these segments and create 2 shows, with a similar name for each without user intervention.

Is this possible? I can create one large file which has both shows, but then I need to split this into 2 separate avi files which requires more user intervention.

The program will join files as long as they are the same bitrate, the same format, and the same dimensions. Give that a try and see. It will need to do each set as a separate file. It will not create two shows with a similar name like you wish.

Sorry Cheryl - I'm not sure what you are saying to "try and see"? Could you be a bit clearer. Perhaps what I'm asking to do is not possible with the current version, but I think it would be a useful enhancement for a future release. I'm certain I'm not the first user that would like to join a list of movie/show segments. Perhaps there could be a way to insert a "dummy" title, some sort of separator which would tell the Joiner that it should do the first group, then the next group, etc. and create unique files names from each group.
