Help joining Quicktime movie files in Linux
So i have several quicktime movie files from the net but rather than play the one at a time i wanted to join into one complete quicktime mov file.
However i can't find a way where it turns out correct like if you used say avisynth or quicktime pro to join. First i tried the "cat" cmd but while it joined it only played the first file. Second i tried using mencoder with Quote:
Well it joined correctly and the whole file is playable unfortunately now the file is not seekable it plays like an online stream removing -forceidx or using -noidx doesn't work either. Does anyone know of a way to make the joined file seekable without converting to another format? |

Actually you are converting to a different container format with that command line: the output file is AVI, not MOV. Use -of lavf -lavfopts format=mov to output MOV. However, I doubt that works well enough.
To fix the seeking problem, I think you must re-encode the video or perhaps mux the streams to the same file with a good muxer. That could work with mkvmerge when using Matroska as a container, or perhaps with MP4Box for MP4. I don't know Quicktime tools well enough to recommend anything for writing MOV output. |
