So I had two AVI files that were curiously split into CD1 and CD2 folders in transit, and I wanted to watch them as a single file rather than switching between files halfway through the feature.
Here’s how you can do it using a nifty program called mencoder
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -noodml -o ./joined.avi
path-to/file1.avi path-to/file2.avi
(all on a single line)
-oac copytransfer mode for audio-ovc copytransfer mode for video-noodmldon’t write OpenDML index-o ./joined.avioutput filepath-to/file1.avi path-to/file2.avifiles you want to join in that order.
To be able to use mencoder you’ll need to install it by typing this into a terminal.
On Debian/Ubuntu
sudo aptitude install mencoder
On Redhat/Fedora
sudo yum install mencoder
