Free Software to combine old QuickTime files?

[videonewbie22]

Hello,

I'm trying to combine some old quicktime files into one big file.
Suffix: .QT.

For one file, Media Info shows :

MPEG_Slipclip will complain about the format.
File Open Error: Unsupported File Type

VirtualDub gives a similar error:
Unknown or unsupported file type.



AOA Video Joiner does not work.
It goes through the motions of combining, says that it made a file.
But after finishing, the new file, and the temp directory are gone.

It also is using mal ware: XVC.exe.
I blocked the XVC.exe program with Zone Alarm.
When I started AOA, I got a message that XVC was blocked.
The swine.


What is a free software that can combine these files?


I don't want any change in formats, bitrate, etc.
Just string them together.
Nor, to have to become an expert in video editing.

Thanks a lot!

mpeg_slipclip? Do you mean mpeg streamclip?

[ricardouk]

if all the clips have the same video and audio characteristics:

1- open the 1st video file with avidemux
2- press FILE---> APPEND to add each video
3-set VIDEO and AUDIO to COPY
4- set FORMAT to MP4
5- press FILE----> SAVE VIDEO

And don't forget to add '.MP4' to your chosen file name when you save the file (stupid AVIDeMux quirk).

Are the files you want to combine '.MOV' files?
Edit: never mind -- I just saw you said they were '.QT'.

Avidemux worked but I had to save it in AVI format.

When I saved in MP4, I kept getting an error about the wrong format.

Thanks!

the error probably showed since your audio and video formats are not allowed by mp4 container specification,.. btw. shouldn't quicktime be able to merge such files,.. ?
