Join multiple mpg files into one file

[bubbl]

It's so easy it is to join mpeg files with just the windows copy command or unix cat command.
On Windows the trick is to copy the files while preserving the binary format.
Here is how you would do it:

Code: Select all

copy files1.mpg /b + files2.mpg /b joinedfile.mpg

You could also do the following if the files are named consecutively:

Code: Select all

copy file*.mpg /b joinedfile.mpg

On UNIX it couldn’t be any simpler …

Code: Select all

cat file1.mpg file2.mpg > joinedfile.mpg

or

Code: Select all

cat file*.mpg > joinedfile.mpg

ffmpeg is the tool of choice for that stuff.
