Currently I am making backups of my dvd's onto hard drives and I am running into a problem with movies like Gone with the Wind and LOTR and others like that.

When I rip them, they are in 2 files. So I am using Adobe Premiere to edit the files to remove some things like "intermission". When I go to output the file to encode the two files as one, it takes forever as in right now, for Gone with the Wind, its telling me 30+ hours.

Does anyone know of a faster way to merge avi files together?
 
Don't use Premiere for this. It will reencode the video every time and destroy quality as well as take forever.

I would rip the DVD vob files and then stitch them together either using AVIsynth or directly in DGindex, then encode the whole shebang.

To merge AVI files, lots of things have to be identical between the two files, which might be the case in this situation... You can use VirtualDub to append one file to the other. Make sure you set the video and audio to 'direct stream copy' to avoid reencoding.
