what to use to Join 2 movie files '+' or '++'
 

Hi,

what is a better option to use as an operator for joining two source files '+' or '++' to be used with TMPGenc. I will encode the audio seperately. I hope it wont cause delays or desync when I finally encode.

PS: I have seen the spliced manual in avisynth, but still I need to be really sure.

If you read the manual, you saw that line :
As you won't use avisynth to manipulate your audio, then there is no diff.

You only have to care if you want to use an avs script to extract the audio of a clip into a wav. I do that sometimes.

Dialhot, how do you extract the wav file, can you post your script ???. I looked around in the docs and couldnt find a filter to do that.

It would be a good learning and I can use it while using the trim() filter on the video.

thanks...

Simple.

(do not use ++ in this situation).

You open tmpgenc, select "ES (video + audio)" and load the script as video and audio source. Then you go in file menu -> output to file -> wav file.

You can also proceed with virtualdub insteed of tmpgenc.

Well I tried using this method, but when I use headac3he to convert the .wav file to mp2, it gives me an error "cannot find data chunk". What do you use to convert the extracted wav file to another format ????

Simple : I never use Headac3che. Besweet is my choice.

Note: your wav is probably at 32khz. Isn't it ?

No its 48 Khz, but thanks, besweet worked like cream on the cake.
