Avimerge: Video and sound not matching up after merging

[fredmv]

Here's the deal. I'm using avimerge to piece together about 17 AVI videos. However, once I view the output file, the sound is off later on in the video. Is there any way around this? I tried using the "-c" switch which, if I'm reading the man page correctly, should fix the problem, however it did not.

-c
Drop video frames in case audio is missing [off]
Only when merging multiple AVI files. Some AVI
files run a little bit (usually for one or two
video frames) short on audio. This means avimerge
cannot keep up sync when concatinating them. The
files play fine when played individually but not
when merged because audio from the new file gets
played back with video from the old file. avimerge
will print a message like

Any ideas guys? Whether it be using avimerge or not, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks all.

Have you tried mencoder? Below is a sample of how to combine 3 videos. Just edit it and add all 17 of yours and see what happens.

mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy vid1.avi vid2.avi vid3.avi -o final.avi
