On Windows, VirtualDub should be able to do this. Check out this guide for in-depth guide on how to split videos.
The creatively named Easy Video Splitter can apparently do the job easier, but I have never used it so i would not know first hand.

On Windows, you can use VirtualDub. On Linux, there is a very similar program called AviDemux2

Without a doubt, VirtualDub is the way to go.
- Open the first AVi in VirtualDub
- Select "Direct Stream Copy" for both video and audio
- In the file menu, choose Append AVI Segment (or similarly named)
- File -> Save As and give your avi a new name
Bingo! I have done this many times. The only gotcha is to be aware that the dimensions, codecs, bitrates, etc. all need to be the same or your new video file will behave, lets say, strangely. Or not at all.

What OS?
On linux, you can use mencoder:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.avi input1.avi input2.avi

For Windows: Virtualdub. No contest.
Can do lossless splitting and joining to, which is very fast, by doing no re-enconding (but it can then only split on key-frames, obviously, and both parts joined must use the same encoding).

Quality after split is problem, because you must reencoded new file. But it depends on what coded used in AVI file.

You can easily achieve this with the Quicktime player (you might need pro), but a lot of people don't like simply because the UI looks out of place on windows.

If you can pay. then "AVS Video Remake" is best choice for Novice Users. This software is awesome if you are concerned about the Output Quality. I have tried many, but I found AVS Video Remake is the Best One.
