Please be warned the trial version I downloaded from the developer's website to evaluate this product comes packed with malware (the usual third party "let us monitor your activity" crap). You can read about it in more detail by clicking here. I sent GOTD an e-mail about it and hopefully they can clean up the giveaway before they release it tonight but because of the time difference between me and them they may not be able to. Please proceed with caution.

That being said, for a free and clean video joiner, grab FormatFactory. Amongst all its features, FormatFactory has a "Video Joiner" feature.

Okay just downloaded the giveaway and it looks like GOTD forced the developer to remove the malware crap that is attached if you grab the software from the developers website. It seems okay to download. I still recommend FormatFactory over it because...

# Input and output is limited to AVI (.AVI), MPEG (.MPEG/.MPG), Windows Media (.WMV/.WMA/.ASF), QuickTime (.MOV/.QT), and RealPlayer (.RM/RMVB) videos; there is no support for FLV, 3GP, or MP4.
# The control over output video settings is limited. Not once did I ever see the ability to change the video bitrate.
# When you add videos to join, the "Video Size" is automatically set. If you want a different video size, you must manually type them it. There is no drop down menu, or anything similar, to allow you to select videos sizes (i.e. so you must have them memorized).
# Clicking on "Help" does not do anything so not help file.
# The developer is falsely advertising the features of Plato Video Joiner on their website

This application is not happy with Vista SP2 as a runtime error is generated, even as 'administrator', and terminates. Looking at the Plato web page and reading the release notes, this is an old version, about three and a half years old. The current one also works with DVD VOB files, which this one does not.

A shame, could have been worth using.

The software installed and registered with no problems using Vista Home Premium. I only used .mov files to process. I tried loading one file which was 94,212 kb and Plato video joiner crashed each time. I tried loading 2 smaller video files, one being 35,138 kb and the other being 66,876 kb. I tried to convert the combined videos to one .avi file. The program did not crash, but came back with 'Create Fail'. I find it difficult to give this software a thumbs up.

Windows movie maker will join many formats and then you can convert them to any format you want wh FF that is good and free all the time. Windows movie maker also will do so much more than just hoin clips so why use anything else that just is for one purpose.

This will do as it says, muc too limited for me to even consider.
