I originally posted this question on Saturday within an ongoing thread but it looks like it's been overlooked. Sorry for the repost though.Hi
I've spent hours trying so many different ways of joining 2 files all without success so I'd really appreciate some help as I'm obviously doing something stupid.
I'm using VLC 0.8.6a with Windows XP Home.
I have 2 files C:\MyVideos\Shaun1.ts and C:\MyVideos\Shaun2.ts which I'm looking to join together in a single file C:\MyVideos\CompleteShaun.ts
I'm going to File, Open File and select the files above using the Browse button which displays as "C:\MyVideos\Shaun1.ts" "C:\MyVideos\Shaun2.ts" then checking Stream/Save and clicking on the Settings button.
Under Output I check File and put C:\MyVideos\CompleteShaun.ts in Filename.
Under Encapsulation Method the MPEG TS radio button is checked
When the process starts the new file C:\MyVideos\CompleteShaun.ts is created and the file size grows as C:\MyVideos\Shaun1.ts is processed. Everything seems to go OK but when the second file starts to process it recreates the output file thus overwriting the contents with C:\MyVideos\Shaun2.ts.
So, I'm nearly there to the extent that I'm creating outputs from the inputs but unfortunately they aren't joined.
I've tried using the code posted above by Dionoea: vlc input1 input2 --sout "#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=file.ts}" --sout-keep
and changed this to vlc "C:\MyVideos\Shaun1.ts" "C:\MyVideos\Shaun2.ts" --sout "#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=C:\MyVideos\CompleteShaun.ts}" --sout-keep
but I may be putting this in the wrong place
Please can someone explain in simple terms what I need to do to crack this.
Many thanks in anticipation
Kewa
Since Saturday I've persevered without success and despite hours and hours of trial and error and referring to the documentation I haven't been able to join these files. As soon as the second input file starts the output from that overwrites the output from the first file.
Whilst I'm not a techie I learn quickly and have been using VLC successfully for a while for transcoding and streaming I'm clearly not correctly using the code posted above by Dionoea: vlc input1 input2 --sout "#std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=file.ts}" --sout-keep
Although I feel I must have tried every permutation by now I've probably got the syntax wrong somewhere but I can't see where.
There should be enough detail here to enable someone to explain what I'm doing wrong and how to get it right so please help and put me out of my misery.
Thanks a lot
