Sometimes you want to split an AVI file in order to make it fit in a CD, but then you want to join it again so that you can watch the whole movie without stop or you want to put it in a DVD-R. Follow this guide to easily join an AVI file with VirtualDub. If you have splitted an AVI file with our AVI split guide then read the additional steps to joins these files without repeating the key-frames again.
