The last time I tried this (joining), I used virtual dub. It was free at the time, not quite sure if it's still around. Also remember that you frame rates, size and audio stream need to be the same for this to work.

oh ok i saw that virtual dib one will check it out but this frame rate stuff is way over my head but i am sure i can work it out. i managed to get music videos on it but now wanna try for movies. my first one i had i managed 6 full length movies but i think it was another format.

Try mediacoder
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

You can also join using windows movie maker and use mediacoder to convert it to a different format.

Virtualdub and tmpgenc are also good but search the net for tutorials.

Virtualdub is still being constantly maintained and upgraded.

Otherwise try Free Video Joiner...

If I remember correctly there was a program called Nandub which always worked for me. I think its a variation of virtualdub if i'm not mistaken. Have a quick google.
