Hi,

Is it possible to append to videos into one video using vlc?

Thanks,

Yes it is. I done it few days ago using the command line. I was not on the computer I am currently using, So just a sum up of my thought: For me, both file1 and file2 where in the same format and size. Maybe you will need to
1- transcode before storing into the file, then use this kind of sout chain: 2- create another output file format (modify "mux" value)

For 1 and 2, you can search for "sout" or "transcode" in the forum and wiki (http://wiki.videolan.org) to find very good examples.
A page exists on the wiki with the complete and accurate documentation about streaming.

Thanks,

Thanks, a lot, I will look into that.

God Bless You,

Oh, so have a look to "--sout-file-append" instead of "--sout-all". (Today my memory is better :-) )

Hi,

I have tried to append two mp4 videos using the following command

vlc "input.mp4" "endframe3.mp4" --sout=#gather{} --sout-keep --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{keyint=250,min-keyint=10,scenecut=40,bframes=1,bpyramid=1,qp=51,qpmin=0,ratetol=800,vbv-bufsize=250,vbv-maxrate=910,qblur=7.500000,partitions=all,weightb=1,me=dia,merange=31,subme=1,dct-decimate=0,nr=199,deadzone-inter=0,deadzone-intra=0,aud=1},interlace,audio-sync,scale=1,high-priority=1,vb=1600,acodec=mpga,ab=128,samplerate=44100,channels=2,height=480,width=640,fps=25}:std{access=file,
mux=ts,dst="output12345.ts"}' --sout-file-append vlc:quit

The two files are getting appended but it in the Stream and Media Info, it is showing four streams - two video streams and two audio streams (one video and audio stream from each file).

But my requirement is that after appending, only two streams should be present in the output file (one video and one audio).

Is it possible to achieve it using vlc?

Please guide me

Thanks,
