Split n Join adds four more components to SplitMe, another software application we have developed. Split n Join lets you combine multiple movie clips into one independent QuickTime movie, which you can import and then export. Similarly, Split n Join lets you combine multiple audio clips into one QuickTime audio file. Also, users can combine split DMG parts into one disc image, restoring the original state.

What you can do with Split n Join:

• To split a single movie clip into multiple independent QuickTime movie files (up to 50 files in equal length + a file with the remaining length), each of which can be opened with QuickTime
• To split a single Matroska container movie into multiple independent MKV clips
• To split a single zip archive into multiple zip files, each of which can be independently unpacked
• To split a single DMG disc images into multiple parts
• To combine multiple movie clips into a single QuickTime movie, which can be saved, imported and then exported with audio and video compressors of your choice
• To combine multiple audio clips into a single QuickTime file, which can be saved, imported and then exported with an audio compressor of your choice
• To put split DMG parts together into a single disc image

Which audio and video formats Split n Join support depends on the operating system.  If you use Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard, you can import such multimedia container formats as AVI, Divx, M4V, MKV, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPG, WMV and more when appropriate QuickTime components are installed.  Snow Leopard users should have less choices because Apple changed the way QuickTime accesses QuickTime components under Mac OS 10.6.  As for joining audio clips involving Ogg Vobis, XIPH.ORG's XiphQT Core Audio component is required.

Unlike SplitMe, Split n Join also works on Matroska-container movies files.  It split movie clips into multiple independent ones.
