In his defense, you took the time to post in the forum for one of us to respond but it showed no sign that you'd made an attempt at trying to find the information out yourself (e.g. searching for "join" and "avi" in Google gives you loads of hits). If you had searched and asked which was the best method/tool, I think the response would have been different.
You have to understand we get hundreds of the same old questions by people who could have saved a few precious minutes of our lives (which we could have spent watching granny porn) if they'd searched the forum or Google. We don't mind helping people who help themselves.
I'm going to encode this bad lad in TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress (just my preferred encoder) but before I do I'd like to improve the colour as most people are saying if you boost your colour a bit it'll improve the viewing of the film over all ...
so could somebody out there with loads more experience than me PLEASE point me in the right direction and maybe give me a few pointers or better still the correct setting to use ...
svcd2dvd.....converts pal to ntsc as well as making seamless video....works for avi too

ok, so i used winavi 8.0 to convert both avis to dvd, then used nero to burn the dvd files.
what's weird is the vobs came out kinda dark, so i did the same thing using winavi 7.6 and it looked much better.
this doesn't actually join the two avis, but it does create a vob index that has both avis included. it took about 15mins to convert using a P4 2.4 (overclocked at 3.8) w/2gigs of RAM.
i did have a question though... after i burned the dvd, i played it and it worked fine in my dvd player, but vlc (my player of choice) would only play the first half of the movie. the second half was all black screen with a fast moving search bar. then someone i burned the movie for says the second half had no audio on her player. what's weird is that she's the only one that had issues with it. everyone esle says it's fine.

I found win avi to be quite moody...
are you putting the .avi's in " merge into one title"
as i said, it used to be my prog of choice but then i got the shits with it and reverted to convertxtodvd.........the only beef with convertx is that i get a small freeze in the end dvd result where the movie was split !!
yeah when i used 8.0, i would click the little plus sign in the top right corner, choose cd2 and the window would show both files before i clicked the convert button. in 7.6, the menu was different, but the resulting window with both files was the same.
convertx huh... didn't see it posted, but i'm sure it'll come around. does it have the skip in everything you convert, or is it just if you convert 2 avis into 1 dvd?
btw thanks for the advice
how long does it take to encode?
