1276609 2012-05-21 09:52:00 Have just combined 3 AVI files into one single AVI file.
The original files were 26,332KB, 25,962KB, and 28,230KB respectivly.
When I joined them using a merging program I ended up with a single file size of 399,085KB.
Can anyone explain why?

Very likely, almost a certainty.
