View Full Version : mkvmerge - how to disable auto concat?

I was quite surprised that mkvmerge automatically concatenates several MPEG files with contiguous numbers in the name, like

movie part 01.mpg
movie part 02.mpg
movie part 03.mpg

This might be useful for VOB files, or for files which are indeed parts (segments) of one file - but not for e.g. distinct episodes of a serial which should not be converted as a whole movie (because they have their own intro each).

Which command line parameter do I have to use to disable this feature? I could only find "--append-mode <file|track>" as the closest related parameter...

I believe that is not yet possible. So I will put a "Feature Request" for that, and in the meantime, my batch for converting lots of old videos will have to temporarily move single videos to an empty directory to avoid that.
