Solution 1
You should look into the concat demux and concat protocol that was added in ffmpeg 1.1. Assuming the codecs are the same you create a file (example mylist.txt
):
file '/path/here/file1.avi'
file '/path/here/file2.avi'
file '/path/here/file3.avi'
Then pass that file to ffmpeg
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy video_draft.avi
You can use this command to make the list:
ls *.avi | while read each; do echo "file '$each'" >> mylist.txt; done
The linked page has more advanced examples for dealing with issue like different codecs/formats.
Solution 2
You can use this single command line:
ffmpeg -i "concat:input1.avi|input2.avi|input3.avi" -c copy output.avi

I'm unable to merge two avi videos together. google is full of below examples:
cat file1.avi file2.avi file3.avi > video_draft.avi after appending the data together using cat above, you need to re-index the draft movie like this: mencoder video_draft.avi -o video_final.avi -forceidx -ovc copy -oac copy Now you're video_final.avi file will be right to go.
but it doesn't work for me, the first video is converted and that's it.
