Since the boards are pretty slow right now, I’ll spare the hamsters and take a shot the question itself. Are you thinking of the [Star Links](http://www.oracleofbacon.org/star_links.html/) function at the “Oracle of Kevin Bacon” site?

If I recall correctly, the thread was in GQ less than 6 months ago. The search function is not working for me tonight, just get an eternal “your search is in progress” message.

I searched GQ and IMHO and timed out a dozen times. Somewhere several months ago someone needed help tying 2 movies together. Does anyone remember that thread or what software was used to do it? I have 2 movies that i want to concatonate (is that the right word?) into 1 movie. Something like this:

[movie1] + [movie2] = [movie1 movie2]

Does that make sense?

Isn’t the OP asking about something entirely different, to wit: how to concatenate two movie files (like .AVI, .MPEG or whatever)? Don’t recognize that thread though, sorry. I guess it might be just as easy to repost the question in GQ with the remark that you remember there having been a previous thread about it.
