Can anyone please help, I have a couple of movies on my windows 7, desktop pc, they are avi files, but the problem is,the movies are in 2 halves. How do I join them together. Thanks.

I'm not sure if windows movie maker can 'see' avi files - have a go. Go to programs and find windows mive maker; import both of the video clips using the menu on left; pull each one into the timeline; then go to 'finish'.
If moviemaker doesn't 'see' avi, you could use a freebie like 'any video convertor' to convert them, then join together in moviemaker.

They are split to meet the 'scene' standard.
You can join sucessfully only if the two parts are exactly the same encoding with the audio being the same sample rates. A few are not.
You can use Boilsoft AVI/MPEG/RMA/WMV Joiner if you can find a free one.. This is popular. If you fancy your chances, you can use VirtualDub (which is free) http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/14/59/ or also this here: http://www.avidemux.org/

Of course Moviemaker sees avi's .. DV cam import for most cams is avi .. It really depends on the codec used as to whether recognised or not.It will not join in the way you want properly.
