i did this for two (600 and 130 meg) avi files and then i've reencodec
it with mencoder to fit in 700M. what i got was a desynced sound for the
second half of the movie, and i don't know who to blame, avimerge or
mencoder (ofcourse i blame avimerge :P ). I'd just doublecheck the resulted
file if I were you.
