Hi Geeks,

I have a question -- I've got a number of segmented videos which, for convenience's sake, I would like to join together. I was hoping to find some freeware that could do this without muss or fuss. Anybody know of a freeware or shareware utility that can join together WMV files without a lot of bother?

If I use a real video-editing app, I'm going to have to import them, join them manually, etc. I don't want to waste the time. All were shot at the same resolution, all are in the same format, so there must be a friendly little app somewhere that will let me glue them together, right?

Suggestions welcome.

Hey Lemur, I have found absolute freewares that will do your job in 2 steps.

1- You'll have to convert your wmv files to mpeg with SUPER © (http://updat4.free.fr/AD93AFC5EB9F4D9DBA9FDE/SUPERsetup.exe).

2- Then you'll combine the mpeg files with CombiMovie (http://www.bobyte.com/CombiMovie/InstCombiMovie.zip).

I didn't try them myself. Hope that helps.

LEN, you're a rock star, and I appreciate the quick response, but I was hoping for an app that could do it without requiring a format conversion. Still open to suggestions.

Then Windows Movie Maker is your friend, embedded into your XP (if you did not remove it though).

I'm experimenting with it as we speak. Who knew Microsoft had something useful buried in the trash? Your rockstar status is confirmed, LEN.

I would say "LOL," but that wouldn't really do it justice, since it was more of a sputtering double-take. Very nice, very nice indeed. The Red Hot Chili Janissaries rock my world!

So nice to hear that I've kicked off with 2 fans at first hit. :bow:

That CombiMovie works like charm. It quickly handled two large mpeg files into a massive single one without any playback problems. :2thumbsup:
