I need to merge some *.mpg files and I would like some one to remind me how to do this in DOS.


Thanks

You can't really do it in DOS
you can do it via a command prompt in windows.....
Try this copy clip1.mpg+clip2.mpg clip1and2.mpg
I think it is better to do this with a program designed for the task.

DO NOT MIX CLIPS!!! both clips must be the same resolution....

1) You CAN do this (CONCATENATE .MPG files) via a DOS box

2) The correct format is:

copy/B clip1.mpg+clip2.mpg clip1and2.mpg

setarip_old i was refering to DOS file size limit's hence why i would not use DOS to merge mpg clips, as you would know DOS and a DOS box are not the same thing!

They look the same and behave the same but there are some very big differences!

@dat720

The only truly significant part of my post is where I corrected you regarding (incorrect) "copy" versus (correct) "copy/B"
