multi part movies

[BillW 30]

I just ripped a two part movie as mkv files.. I labeled them disc1 and disc2. The time displayed is the length of disc1. From what I read right now MB3 doesn't automatically play both parts seamlessly. Someone wrote about doing an mkvmerge. I get the idea, take both parts of the movie and combine them into one file. I'm not sure how I do that. I did a few searches and came across MKVToolnix which says it will split, join and inspect mkv files. Is this what I need or is there something else? Sorry for the dumb question. I just haven't done this before and really don't want to botch it up.

yea mkvtoolnix is the best tool for the job, as far as i know. i haven't done it in a while but you basically just drag the first part into the window, then drag the second part, then click a button to merge them.

Its easy, open mkv merge GUI. Click Add, and choose Part 1 of the movie.

 

 

Then Click Append, and choose Part 2 of the movie

 

Then just choose the output destination and movie name, then click Start muxing
