Until now I played only with short stuff like Futurama-Episodes.. so I 
can not tell about merging larger stuff, but with Virtualdub it should be 
no problem to merge large AVIs. I will give it a try when I have 
installed the 40GB IBM drive I bought today...

1) I use "mplex -t MPEG2 001.vdr" to remux
2) Under Windows, I use FlaskMPEG to convert the out.mpg with 
Divx-Low-Motion (1200kbit, Keyframe every 1 sec) and MP3 (96kbit, 48kHz). 
Takes a while (2-3 hours for 20 mins of input on my K7/500MHz) and I get 
something around 200MB from a 600+MB source in quite good quality.

No problems here, but I must not change the samplerate of the sound (when 
I tried MP3 44,1kHz, the sound got out of sync [too fast], so it seems it 
is better to keep the original samplerate).
