Steven M. Schultz:

 Is it not possible to simply combine multiple VBR MPEG1 files into 1
 large MPEG1 file?

In theory yes, in general no.


Each VCD file looks something like this:

<intro><mpegvideo><ending>

so when you join multiple files together you end up with:

<intro><video><ending><intro><video><ending> ...

 ALSO keep in mind that the "clocks"/"times" start over from 0 for each
 file.

 To join multiple files together the timestamp/clock would have to be
 recalculated and the run-in, run-out sequences removed except from the
 very beginning and the final ending.

Use a single file and all those problems go away of course.

Good to hear that. So it was no surprise that all my efforts to combine and play MPEG2 files on a DVD player have been unsuccessful although some sources claim otherwise.


The only drawback with large files are the audio sync problems so I have kept the files at 60 minutes or shorter.
