765 <A HREF="http://mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/htsearch?restrict=/mplayer-users/">archives</A> | |
766 for a complete answer. This is a complicated topic and your mileage may | |
767 vary a lot depending on the kind of files you want to merge. MPEGs can be | |
768 concatenated into a single file with luck. For AVIs there are two tools, | |
769 <A HREF="http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/">avidemux</A> | |
770 and avimerge (part of the | |
771 <A HREF="http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/">transcode</A> | |
772 tool set), available that might do the job. You can also try MEncoder if | |
773 you have two files sharing the same dimensions and codec. Try<BR> | |
774 <CODE>cat file1 file2 > file3</CODE><BR> | |
775 <CODE>mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -o out.avi -forceidx file3.avi</CODE></DD> | |
