This is actually a little harder than you would have thought, because some of the video "container" formats hold information about the whole video inside them (mp4 does for instance) so just concatenating them doesn't work. You have to convert them to a format where this doesn't happen - and then you can concatenate. I believe (but advise you to try check it out via googling) that mpeg2 is OK. You can convert formats with ffmpeg. The alternative is to fire up Cinelerra, import both clips, and then render a new video from it. I think that is what I would do. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
