combining .avi files

Some more notes from my efforts to create some home movie DVD’s.

This one requires avimerge, one of the neat utilities that comes from the Transcode Project.

To combine two or more .avi files, use the following syntax:

avimerge -o combined.avi -i first.avi second.avi

It’s that simple. Remmember to put the individual .avi files after the “-i” switch (for “input”) in the order you’d like the video to appear in the final, combined, .avi file.

Note: Tricks like using cat to combine multiple .avi files didn’t work for me.
