7808 | 244 <DD>A: Yes. Some video out drivers like xv, dga or (x)mga are exclusive, some |
245 are exclusive in combination with certain graphics boards and drivers. You | |
246 will not be able to run more than one instance of MPlayer with one of those | |
247 video out drivers. To a lesser degree this also applies to audio drivers. | |
248 Not all allow playback of multiple streams on the same device.</DD> | |

755 for a complete answer. This is a complicated topic and your mileage may | |
756 vary a lot depending on the kind of files you want to merge. MPEGs can be | |
757 concatenated into a single file with luck. For AVIs there are two tools, | |
758 <A HREF="http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/">avidemux</A> | |
759 and avimerge (part of the | |
760 <A HREF="http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich/transcode/">transcode</A> | |
761 tool set), available that might do the job. You can also try MEncoder if | |
762 you have two files sharing the same dimensions and codec. Try<BR> | |
