Hello, I am trying to make a program that copies a specific video until the total length is longer than a specified amount. I need help trying to join them.
Here is my joining code.

C#
// videos is a List<string> containing a list of every single copied video's path.
// dir is the current directory returned by Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
// outputVideoSelect.FileName is a user specified output file
using Splicer; 
using Splicer.Timeline;
using Splicer.Renderer;

            using (ITimeline timeline = new DefaultTimeline())
            {
                IGroup group = timeline.AddVideoGroup(32, 720, 576);
                
                for (int v = 1; v < videos.ToArray().Length; v++) {
                    group.AddTrack().AddVideo(videos[v]);
                }
                

                using (AviFileRenderer renderer = new AviFileRenderer(timeline, $"{dir}\\output.mp4"))
                {
                    renderer.Render();
                }
            }
            File.Move($"{dir}\\output.mp4", $"{outputVideoSelect.FileName}");



What I have tried:

FFMPEG (no luck)
CMD's copy function (no luck)
Using a for loop to make my list of videos to render using Splicer (program throws
C#
An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in DirectShowLib-2005.dll but was not handled in user code
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Which line causes the error and what are the file name details?

group.AddTrack().AddVideo(videos[v]); causes the error. videos[v] should return something like C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Temp/MovieMakerTempFolder/5.mp4

Fine, but what exactly does it return? You cannot solve code problems by guessing what might be happening, you need to know the complete details.

It returns D:\Temp\/MovieMakerTemp\2.mp4 I think I did some slashes wrong
Edit: For clarification, D:\Temp\ is my temp folder
