Matroska + merging 2 Video files?

shevegen · 25th August 2006, 18:05

a) I have an .avi with an original soundtrack.
b) I have an .mpg file with a slightly different soundtrack, shorter
and self recorded.

I want to create ONE file of these, I dont matter how, but I'd
rather not want to reencode any video data.

Is it possible to create a matroska file with these two video files?

Yes, just open up the mkvmerge GUI and add all the files to the source window. You will end up with one file with two video streams and two audio streams.

lol
thanks a lot, i completely forgot about the GUI part, and i was staring at
the documentation trying to figure out how to merge 2 files into one new one with 2 audio and 2 video streams
Also very nice that you can see the commandline in the box, this helps me a lot to finish up
my local documentation for it (i wrote the explanation in german cuz its easier for me
to understand my native language)
Thanks a lot check

EDIT: However it seems that i cant add .mpg streams, the GUI says that it
cant - so probably adding mpg is not possible. And I guess making an .avi from a
mpg (with no sound) would mean reencoding, thus quality loss. =(
(Not that the quality of the mpg is any good, mind you... its rather bad)

Mixing only the audio part of the mpg works so far though.
