Was this the best way of joining two AVI files?

[Mark]

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%2...ia%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.avi

It only took a few minutes to join two 50 odd minute long clips. Playing them back as well the quality looks the same.
