Hi Scott,

The app itself does not provide a way for you to do that from the UI, but you can do it from the terminal.
inside the ReduxEncoder bundle is an executable called avimerge, that will do just what you need.
The format for the command will something like avimerge -i filename1.avi filename2.avi filename3.avi -o filename-of-merged.avi

I may be an idea for the future to add this as an option in the user interface.

Great app – very nice work!

Just wondering if it’s possible to simply stitch files together without any encoding/decoding? I don’t want to mess with the original files, just want to combine them in to one…

looks like its not liking the input files – Im guessing that its some floating point issue – try running it in 32 bit mode and also try dropping the fps to 23.976

Hey st373n, just downloaded 1.2.6 and it looks like a great app, but i’m having some trouble stitching two avi files. here’s two caps of the error info:

http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Ts1u55Z0

any tips on what i’m doing wrong?

(note: i only capped the info for the avi file showing errors, but the only difference between the two files is the runtime and bitrate)

thx!

Hey sb75,

stitching currently works in a top down order, that is if ticked files will be stitched from the top of the list in order thru to the last file in the list,
if your wanting to stitch say file 3 and 4 you would have to do them in a separate instance of ReduxEncoder otherwise they would just get appended after file 2.
Because the whole batch is processed in a loop its not currently possible to get it to do what your wanting without a major bit of recoding.

You might have gotten this request before, but here goes:
Are you considering a feature for “bacth-stitching” together files? By that I mean, if you have a bunch of avi files to convert to m4v, some of the movies have been split into two avi files, and you want to merge together the split movies.
I would settle for a feature that stitches together 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 etc, but it would be neat if there was flexibility to just mark the two files in the cue that should be merged into one.

Thanks for picking up the great work done by techspansion! …big shoes, but I’m sure yours will fit!

DVD code is now done for iso and burning, also loading of settings has been fixed for Snow Leopard – just testing on a few machines before getting the update ready to push out.
