• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

A friend sent me two avi files that need to be merged. The file names are ABCDEF.avi.001 and ABCDEF.avi.002

I've searched this board and google with no success. If I remove the .# and make the file just *.avi, I can open file #1 but #2 won't play. I get a message that it's an unrecognized format.

I've tried about 3 or 4 programs listed on this site but have yet to achieve success.

I'm using lion with the latest updates and have a Macbook pro that is about 4 months old.

Any advice is appreciated.

thanks

What programs have you tried?
FFMPEGX is the only one that I know that will stitch them sucessfully, but I am not sure if it works in Lion. It's fine in Snow Leopard though.

FFMPEGX was updated *specifically* (first time in years) to make it compatible with Lion. It's now at version 0.0.9y-L.
