Dear Friends,

I want to join 2 AVI files using vb.net code.
I have tried this using AForge.Net aviwriter,
But problem with this is that it allows only 1000 frames.
I want to join over size AVI files.
I cant even use FileStream object because AVI file contains AVI Header.
Please give me the solution on this.

Thank you very much in advance.

I would strongly recommend libavcodec library and FFmpeg, which is based on libav. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ffmpeg[^],
http://ffmpeg.org/[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libavcodec[^],
http://libav.org/[^].

In both cases, you can get free open-source utilities which can make nearly everything, and certainly joining of any video, with transcoding or not (in that case, appending media formats and properties should match).

There are a number of FFmpeg or libav wrappers for .NET:

http://www.visioforge.com/Products/video-edit-sdk-ffmpeg-net.html[^],
http://www.overridepro.com/2009/05/23/ffmpeg-with-net/[^].

Search for it: http://bit.ly/124rYgx[^].

In worse case, you can simply execute the utility via System.Diagnostics.Process.Start: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx[^].

You can capture the output using redirected StandardOutput stream, and, just in case, StandardError. You can find the code sample of redirection here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.standardoutput.aspx[^].

Good luck,
