Joining FLV files together

[DRP]

Anyone got any suggestions for me as to what software will join FLV files together losslessly? Did the usual searches and only came up with ways of doing it that involved encoding to some other format first. Don't wanna do that.

So no-one has any better suggestion than the copy /b command?

Combining video files can be simple as long as:::: the framerate is the same. The framesize is the same. The codec is the same. etc. If any of these requirements are not met (the same) then a reencode is going to be necessary. You can either reencode one of the files and make it match the other, or reencode both of them, then combine.

For FLV1 read this: https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1611052&highlight=#1611052
For FLV4 read this: https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1618736&highlight=#1618736

Combining FLV files with matching properties is simple using VirtualDubMOD after you follow the links I posted above. The odds of finding 2 or more FLV files with matching properties? Slim I would imagine, but Good luck.

Thanks bloke. Sadly upon opening them up in VDub, it reports they have slightly different sampling rates, so a join is not possible this way.

do you mean framerate? or bitrate....

Either way... you are going to need to reencode one to match the other or both then combine.

Myself I would use my instructions in those posts and save them out as HuffYuv, then combine them. You may need to framerate convert anyway if you are planning on putting them on DVD and playing them on your settop player. Just read those pages because they contain enough information to get you off to a good start. You can figure out the rest I'm sure.

Good luck.

You can use Movica if the files are the same image size, framerate
