Is there a utility that will take a list of mpegs and concantenate them into one long playable mpeg? I thought the kaffeine "Save Stream" option would work, but it only streams one file at a time. -- Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right. -- Salvor Hardin, "Foundation"

On the command line, try: cd ./mpgfolder cat *.mpg >> combined.mpg Just make sure you have the filenames numbered in seqence so the files get concatenated in the right order. For example, file01.mpg file02.mpg ... file10.mpg file11.mpg, Not: file1.mpg ... file10.mpg ... This works for me. -- Dave Grosvold
Makes me think of bash'es curly braces cat file{01,02,03}.mpg > combined.mpg Saves typing if *.mpg is not what you want. On Tuesday 13 June 2006 15:45, Dave Grosvold wrote:

I wrote a quick and dirty script to join multiple files: cd ~/mpg/temp ls *.mpg > sedstart sed 's/.mpg/.mpg \\/' sedstart > ./stubs/middle cd stubs cat front middle back > scr cd .. sh ./stubs/scr $1 rm sedstart mv $1.* ~/mpg/$2 It builds a file that looks like this: cat \ 01.mpg \ 02.mpg \ 03.mpg \ 04.mpg \ 05.mpg \ 06.mpg \ 07.mpg \ 08.mpg \ 09.mpg \ 10.mpg > $1.mpg then runs it.
