[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1290715, member: 109222"] Hi. Yes, it is possible. But there are some requirements that the video files needs to fulfill. The files must be compatible, means they must have the same count of tracks with the same codecs and the same codec settings. E.g. if you want to join a 720p file and a 1080p file, this is not possible. You also can't join a h264 video and a h265 video or a video with a AAC 2.0 audio track and a video with a AAC 5.1 audio track, and so on. The file size only matters if the drive is formatted with FAT32. Then the maximal file size is limited to 4 GB. This often happens with USB sticks or SD cards. On NTFS the file size limit is at a ton of Terrabytes, so it did not matter at all... The corresponding module in Media-Buddy is called "Append". You need to create a folder with the exact name your resulting video should have, Move the video files to join into this folder. The naming of the files is not important. The order is based on the alphabetic order so they can be called CD1, CD2,... or A,B,C,... or whatever you like. The folder name is important as it is used as name for the resulting video.
