1344934 2013-06-07 04:20:00 I have been given a movie in .avi format, in two <700Mb sections. I used VLC to splice the sections together, the resulting file is 98Gb in size. The original files were readable on a Panasonic LED TV, from an external 2Tb drive, and on my computer; the output file is still readable on my computer, but not on the TV (format not recognized). I have adequate space on the external drive, but I want to burn the output file to DVD, so how do I splice the source files to a more compact form, without losing video or audio quality?

1344935 2013-06-07 04:36:00 Something is wrong if its 98 GB And obviously thats not going to fit on a DVD. I would use something else to edit it with, if this is what you did with VLC

Try the 1st download (www.freemake.com), it should load the file then you can edit the original files you've got. Then you can convert it / or burn it. Make sure you do a custom install, otherwise it installs crap
