The Poojer Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I glued two extracted rar(or i guess AVI files after they unpacked), the resulting glueing gives me a file called "Combined", i cannot tell what the format is for that combined file, but I would love to see i can convert that to a single video file...can anyone help? or is the combined file already a video file?

Dante Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Did you use WinAce to extract them? Have to use that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 I use NewzTools RAR program, i should note that the 2 files were bittorrent and downloaded as CD1 and CD2, both of which contained RAR files of the same larger file. I unpacked them, CD1 seperately and CD2 seperately and subsequently had 2 AVI files..from there I "glued" the 2 Avi files in attempts to make one contiguous file...now I would like to know if I can convert that large Combined file to an actual video file..sorry if this was an important part i forgot to mention earlier Or Try WinRaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Not that I'm helping matters any, but 1st I assume you're using WinDoze. Am I correct in that the only way that Windoze determines what type of file something is is by its extension, i.e. a video AVI file will be named Filename.AVI? That's primarily just a question, but if you think it's an AVI file, you can try renaming it and you'll be all set. Of course combining multiple video files is likely more difficult as each file likely has a header in it's composition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVI files contain header information which will cause everything to get !@#$ed up if not joined properly. Do this to join AVI files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 thanks blue..you are exactly right, that looks like a pretty simple process Erm, you tried to combine 2 AVI files, not 2 RAR files if what you just said above was correct.
