Joining a file help
I am trying to join 3 video files. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
$ lxsplit -j vid.avi.001
Creating merged file `vid.avi'.
Complete size: 506904946 in 3 files.
Processing file `vid.avi.001' ...
Processing file `vid.avi.002' ...
Processing file `vid.avi.003' ...
Done!
When I try to watch vid.avi all I see is the video from vid.avi.001. I don't see the video from vid.avi.002 and vid.avi.003. Its really strange though cause the size of vid.avi is the total size of all 3 files.

cat file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi > file4.avi
mencoder -noidx -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi file4.avi
Should let you put lots of files together

cat file.avi.* > file.avi
sudo apt-get install mencoder mplayer

I wanted to point out that if you are joining more than 10 files that you need to use a similar format to this.
vid01.avi.001
vid02.avi.002
vid03.avi.003
vid04.avi.004
vid05.avi.005
vid06.avi.006
vid07.avi.007
vid08.avi.008
vid09.avi.009
vid10.avi.010
That's fine. The command would just be bigger.
sudo apt-get install mencoder mplayer; cat vid01.avi.001 vid02.avi.002 vid03.avi.003 vid04.avi.004 vid05.avi.005 vid06.avi.006 vid07.avi.007 vid08.avi.008 vid09.avi.009 vid10.avi.010 > file4.avi; mencoder -noidx -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi file4.avi; rm file4.avi
Should do it

Are wmv smarter than avi files? I had these 2 wmv files.
vid.wmv.001
vid.wmv.002
And I extracted the video with.
7z e vid.wmv.001
I didn't have to deal with this. Everything looked and sounded good.
mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy file.avi -o file_final.avi

Has some good commands :)
Can you help with this problem?
