making one mov from several

[extremelyslow]

Hello. First post here..

I've got a bunch of small avi clips that I'm converting to .mp4 so that I can get them onto my iPod touch. I'm using Xilisoft's Video Converter on OSX. They're all sequential, so I'd like to ligate them together and make one bigger mp4 so that I can watch them all back-to-back-to-back as one file. They vary from ~6MB to 175MB, and I expect I'd come out with ~1.1GB file or so...

Is there a quick and dirty way to stick them together?


Thanks...

Cheers,

Open them all together with MPEG Streamclip. Rename them in order and place them all in the same folder. Open them all at once. MPEG Streamclip will concatenate them as it opens them. Then do a "save as MP4", set your desired parameters, and save to the new name. If you don't already have Perian, get it.

Oh yeah, that's just the trick...

Thanks!
