MJ - Mencoder GUI for Merging AVI Files
1. Java-based, you need to have JRE installed (most likely you already do).
See download page for details.
2. You need Mencoder to do the actual joining. Refer to "download" page.
3. There's a well documented bug in mencoder related to filenames with multiple spaces. Step 2 (renaming) was implemented as a workaround.
The program accepts a folder with a bunch of avi files. Folder path could either be selected from within the program or passed as a parameter. EXE-wrapped version (or its shortcut) can be copied to your
| WinXP | "\Documents and Settings\username\sendto\" |
| or | |
| Windows 7 | "\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\" |
so later on you could simply right-click the directory with AVIs and choose "mJoiner.exe" from SentTo menu (The most convenient way).
If you use this method all the fields will be filled in automatically, you can click "not a scene release" button to assing output file name according to your settings.
Rename button will rename output.avi into whatever you specified as "Output file name".
"Cleanup" button moves resulting file out of the folder (one step up), and deletes the original directory. (like instead of a folder with AVIs you'll get one properly renamed and merged file)
The command used to run mencoder can also be modified.
Once again, I was unable to find more convenient way to perform this simple task.
