How to join mpeg files?

[zzabar]

Hi there,

I'm a new member to this forum, and would like to say hello to all.

Also, I've a beginners question: How to join mpeg files? what is the simplest software available for the Mac, Syst. 10.4? and, which is the most elaborate software available for that purpose?

Hoping to get some reaction.

Thanks,
Zivan

iMovie. import both mpegs, then lay them both out in the timeline as desired. then export (or share).

in reply to your PM (i thought it would be useful to have the answer in the main forum), iMovie does like to export in Quicktime format, but you can export in any format, pretty much.
here's how:

when you are finished, go to File > Share...

from here, click on the Quicktime tab, and in the selection box, select the Expert Settings at the bottom. this will allow you to access the full Quicktime encoding library.

from here you can encode in pretty much any codec you want. MPEG1 is a little dated, so you may want to explore the newer codecs, like Mpeg-4 or h.264 (tiger only)

That was very helpful. I'll try just that.
Thank you very much.
