Yes, so long as the voice/music are edited together with the
other material before saving the separate AVI files, this works.
With Spark and my gear, I can split the AVI files in the middle
of continuous action or sound without problems during later
assembly if I cut and copy the last frame of the previous
AVI file and add it to the beginning of the next. All is then
smooth on playback of the multiple files (assembled from any
combination of drives...). I've made up to one hour (the time
limit of mini-DV tapes) continuous pieces this way. I assume
that other formats and systems may work as well for doing this...
