Concatenating a folder of quicktime files together.

Question

I know on my linux box I can use:

cat file1.mov file2.mv file3.mov > combined.mov

But in OSX this doesn't seem to work. Only the file1.mov is combined.

Any work arounds for OSX?

Thanks

Answer 1

According to the FFMPEG FAQ, you have to convert your .mov files to MPEG format before you can concatenate them in that fashion.

Yes, you can use FFMPEG to do the conversion, both to and from MPEG. :-P
