  • How to best stich 2 mpeg2 2 files together

    There's this concert I downloaded, it's in MPEG2 - plays in Power DVD player only.

    Now some stupid guy split the concert in two parts in the middle of a song.

    What would be the best way of stitching it together?

    Currently I have virtual dub at my disposal, are there any better tools for the job?



    Any other suggestions - should I try to clean it or try to reencode it?

    VirtualDub can stitch AVI files together but for some reason won't stitch MPEG files. There are lots of commercial programs that will do it: Womble MPEG Edit and Ulead Media Studio Pro can both join MPEG files together without re-encoding. Most other video editing apps can too (like Pinnacle Studio and Ulead Video Studio).

    You might be able to do it from the command line in Windows. I've done the following with success before (CD to the folder with the two files then):

    COPY /b INPUT1.MPG+INPUT2.MPG OUTPUT.MPG

    Both files have to have the same format (frame size, frame rate, same audio codec) for that to work. It's worth a try.

      Would Adobe Premiere do it?

      I'd then like to split file again in order to burn it to two CDs, just not split in the middle of a song, but between two songs.

        It's not seamless, time is off.

        Would Adobe Premiere do it?

          I seem to recall reading that Adobe Premiere doesn't handle MPEG as input. But I don't use it so I can't say for sure.

          If you can join the two files with the command line COPY command you can split later with VirtualDub.

            TMPGEnc has MPEG Tools which could be what you are looking for. I think its free to try or something for a month then you gotta pay for it. I'm sure you could do what you need in a month.

              Womble MPEG2VCR is the fastest and easiest tool for this. Juszt load all te clips into the clip list and save it. There is no rendering at all and you can even edit it a bit if you want. Last time I checked there was a 30 day trial for the MPEG2 capabilities and then it is MPEG1 only. TMPGEnc would probably work as well unless the streams are different.

                Update:

                Now I have also the sound for said concert as a DTS Audio CD image.

                This means I could perhaps synch it with the CD Audio and reencode it in MPG4 or somesuch.

                This would be mainly meant as learning project. So what do you suggest.
