combining video streams
 

is there a way to combine video like if i have 2 mpg or 2 avi 's all i need is a simple program that does that but i resaly don't know what to look for:scratch:

Sure, 2 avi's I know work with cat and mplayer, I'd assume mpg would be the same:
cat file1.avi file2.avi > bigfile.avi
mplayer -forceidx bigfile.avi

Cool

yeah thanks i did the cat but it didn't work for me but i didn't know that i had to use the mplayer mplayer -forceidx bigfile.avi

i wander if i incode the bigfile.avi to an mpg or whatever maby then i would not have to use -forceidx everytime?

If it works, be sure to report back so others can see what you have found ;)

Cool

it does not work it says that it is damaged
so i told konqueror to use the mplayer -forceidx command on the .avi filetypes
and it works even if the avi is not dammaged
havent tryed to combine the mpegs yet though

just incase anyone finds this thread, yes you can cat mpegs into a larger file and have it work w/mplayer,
