Lots of movies, especially lately, are two split 700 MB files. This is more of a pain, and I store everything on a hard drive anyway, so I'd rather join then into one 1.4 GB file. ffmpeg contains a tool to join divx files, but it doesn't work on all files. About half of them join, the other half, will run through, but when they finish, the "joined" file only contains the first file and not the second. Is there a trick to get them all to join?

use QuickTime Pro and have mov files

How is using quicktime pro able to join to avi files? I thought quicktime is not able to even play avi files. I would like to know the answer to this as well. Thanks

edit: actually, go ahead and read that, it's good to know, but basically install 3ivx, divx, and the XVID Delegate (www.insaneness.com) and QuickTime should play most avi files you can find. Here's more: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/...1#125005682631

How about having DiVX 5.1.1 installed on your Mac.
Open the .avi files by using the QuickTime Player.
Do a copy and paste...export it with the DiVX codec.
However, you have to work on the audio track separately. I assumed that you have QuickTime Pro.

Actually what you'd want is DivX 5.1.0, since in 5.1.1 they removed the video passthrough option. And even in that case you'd have to re-encode the audio just to keep it in the new file. Just keep it as a mov file; it's a better format anyway.
