MP4 stitcher

[Guest]

I need any program,free or not,that will stitch mp4 segments together.previous posts have yielded programs with arcane,non-intuitive GUIs.

Sounds like something avidemux might do. Or even virtualdub if you use the directshowsource avisynth stuff to open them. There are also ones like mp4box or yamb that might work.

Though your issue might be different types of mp4 files. If they are all of the same settings (codec, resolution etc) then it should not be an issue.

Edit - I saw bat999 was online just awhile ago and reminded me of this option - perhaps winff has a join feature?

As long as the files are all compatible, (same frame size, number of audio channels, etc) Avidemux.

Open the first file.
then "File/Append" choose the second; etc.

Then with video and audio at default "copy", choose "format" as mp4, and "File/Save/video".
Give a filename INCLUDING the .mp4, as Avidemux doesn't add that automatically.

Should be pretty fast as there is no reencoding.

Thanks.I'll give it a try.

here's ffmpeg to the rescue.

i used the (SVN-r24489) build for the test "stitch" on two files of the same fps and resolution, the new muxed file played without problems.

ffmpeg.exe -i "g:\file1.mp4" -i "g:\file2.mp4" -vcodec copy "g:\video.mp4"

Thanks,but my problem is I'm a dumb ass that certainly doesn't want to screw around with command lines or finding a GUI.
I'm looking for a windows paint rather than Photoshop developers version.this seems like a real basic function.I'm surprised I'm having so much trouble finding it in a mainstream product.

Use winff. use the vcodec copy in the additional command line tab. Winff is a gui for ffmpeg as far as I know.

Avidemux didn't work?
