I'm looking for a program to use to join multiple movie files together. I've tried Super and an online one, but both join the files in the wrong order, even though I have them loaded in the right order. I am forced to join them one at a time, and for each joined file, add half an hour to the next file joining (remember, I'm still on my 5 year old laptop here) any suggestions?

I've started putting my favorite movies on my iPod but without digital copies of them (and some don't even support iTunes) I am forced to go the old fashioned route. Decode the disc, convert the files to MPEG4 and join them. I can do step 1 and 2 in a day (although it's a crap shoot to have the english version) but step 3 never seems to work right.

help!!

Ps: Get a new computer is not a solution. I can barely afford to go back to school in a month. Thankfully it's my last semester though!!

Yep, or use Flash. did that a long time ago...must find that file I created ...

Thanks LT, I think I'm doing something wrong, I put in the files address and always get 'the requested file can't be located'

flash?

It's what you use to create those 'flashy' (no pun intended) web presentations. It can also be used to thread videos together. LT's way is muuuuuuccccchhhh easier. Flash if if you want to get creative.

filenames can't have spaces in them in a command window.. I don't think. so check that.

[CallyWood]

Thanks Jeep, that could be the problem. Unfortunately the files I want to join are at home on the old old old rig so I'll have to verify that after work


So what do I add if there is a space in the name, IE. My Documents it wouldn't be mydocuments would it?

[The Jeep]

you will have to move the files to a folder without a space in the name.

[CallyWood]

alright, I moved the files to be c:\file.MP4

This is exactly what I put in.

copy /c "Across The Universe 1.MP4"+"Across The Universe 2.MP4"+"Across The Universe 3.MP4"+"Across The Universe 4.MP4"+"Across The Universe 5.MP4"+"Across The Universe 6.MP4" "Across The Universe.MP4"

now I am getting "The syntax of the command is incorrect"

I never was good at command prompts

[CallyWood]

OOOOH,

I thought /b was a drive. thanks!

Like I said, I don't know the slightest about command prompts
