Was this the best way of joining two AVI files? - Mark - 01-06-2013
Scenario: I've got two .avi files which need to go in to one. They at some point have been split from the original so each file is one half.
From googling I came across a few options but ffmpeg looked easiest.
Just downloaded from their website (for Windows) no installation required.
And followed these instructions.
http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/How%20to%20concatenate%20%28join,%20merge%29%20media%20files
Contents of mylist.txt
Code:
file 'E:\Folder\file-1.avi'
file 'E:\Folder\file-2.avi'and then just ran
Code:
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy out.aviIt only took a few minutes to join two 50 odd minute long clips. Playing them back as well the quality looks the same.
