If you use a PC, you could try piecing the vid segments together with MovieMaker, which came with XP. Extra work for sure, I'm afraid, but I thought I'd mention the idea.

I used a similar programme to piece together the clips into one file again, but found when I attempted to burn the files onto a disc they were too large - so the movie just hogged my hard drive until I got around to deleting it

Updating the whole archives would be quite a job.

Well, I'm sure that could happen. It's pretty rare in my experience for an entire scene to be that large, >695 MB or so (leaving a small safety margin for disk errors) -- even one that was spliced together with software -- but with really hi-def stuff I see how it could happen.
Reminds me that I should probably just end my long "denial" period and get a terabyte hard drive for backups. Tired of "baling" pieces off my smaller drives.

I agree, but my guess is they could have taken the money they paid Aria Giovanni to tease us with and rounded up 10-12 programmers to get it done. I may have just been frustrated with the Aria videos when I typed that complaint!

I have tried with Peck's Power Join which I got from the 21st Sextury sites, but my understanding is that the older clips are missing frames. When you join them, or at least the ones I try, the video freezes when the 2nd clip starts or there is no volume. I watched one yesterday from 1byday, believe it was Sophie Moone's 2nd video with them in 2002. It has flashes in it, I have no idea what that it is. It is like watching an old filmstrip. The screen jerks and a light flashes.
As I was telling JD, I think some of my frustration was getting a total of 35 more minutes or Aria Giovanni teasing. I just wish she would stop the nonsense.

Yes, I also had the same kinds of mixed results with Peck's Power Join, all the while thinking, "Instead of this 'fix,' why not just offer full-length versions, too?" Club Sandy and PixAndVideo have done so at least sometimes, but it's hit-or-miss. Can't say anything about their past 6 months or so as I've been away.
As JD1961 points out, redoing such a volume of older vid material would amount to a lot of crunch time. One wonders if they even have whole scenes archived somewhere privately.
And again, it's especially a problem for long-lived sites that offered segments because so many people used to be on slower connections.
