[parisisal]

Hi guys,
i search a software (freeware) with command line that permits to join some MOV in one only big MOV file.
I don't want re-encode the videos but, like VirtualDub, i want obtain a direct stream copy.

Exiting...

I try with the option -oac pcm and it works, but the file size is very big!
a.mov = 4Mb
b.mob = 4mb
total = 32mb! (with pcm)
what can i do ?

do you need .mov wrapper, or will .mp4 suffice?

you can use mp4box , but it will re-wrap into mp4 container

mp4box -add 1.mov#1:fps=23.976 -cat 1.mov#2 -cat 2.mov#1:fps=23.976 -cat 2.mov#2 -new 3.mp4

(change fps to match your videos)

Best way for maximum compatibility IMO, is to use QTPro

Thankyou!!
I try mp4box now.
