How can i merge mp4 files into one video please?

[mikehende]

Hey guys, I recorded 4 short videos from a pre-recorded online music session using Bandicam. I have to click to open each one individually. I would like to merge the four mp4 video files into one file so when I click on that one file the 4 files will play in the sequence I would prefer, how can I do this please?

AVIDemux. Open the first file, then File>Append. Bring the others in and when complete, set the Output format (bottom left) to MP4 and then do a Save As...

Wow, worked exactly as you've stated, can't thank you enough for the help and also for making it super easy for me with your instructions but thanks a million!!

[Alwyn]

My pleasure, that'll be $1000 thanks. Nah, just kidding!

[mikehende]

Ok, thank you. Best I can do especially since this was for spiritual services videos is ask for blessings for you for helping another person in this way, many blessings!

[Alwyn]

Blessings accepted!

Re the $1000, I was having a joke about this topic:

I use Bandicam too. Nice program.

Thank you. Well yes, regarding that topic, your instructions to me shows you might have a knack for making things easier for people and can consider creating either video or printed tutorials to sell online.

Hey Alwyn [or anyone else], I need one final modification to my file. I uploaded all files and merged [Appended] them accordingly and all's well but I needed to cut out some parts of a couple of the videos using the A and B Markers as instructed here:

http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=using:cutting

and when "saving" the finished file, the only options in the drop-down menu to save shows .mkv or All files. I would like to save in the same mp4 format, is this possible in any way please guys? I also tried importing one of the individual mp4 files, cut out the unwanted part then attempted to save but still same deal as mentioned, no mp4 saving option.

[Alwyn]

Mike, bottom left, set the Output Format to "MP4 Muxer". You should then get the MP4 option when you do your Save As.

[mikehende]

Thanks a million again Alwyn. I love the simplicity of the Avidemux software, well with you making it easy for me I should say . Many blessings!

[Alwyn]

Cheers Mike!

Shutter Encoder can Merge videos without re-encoding.

Hey guys, how are you all doing, hope all is well?

To refresh, I had appended 5 mp.4 videos from one singer into one master file when this thread was created but now I am trying to append another file to that master file. However this new video file is from another singer and when trying to append I am getting this error below. What's the easiest way for me to append this file please? I am seeing the options but looking for the easiest thing I can do please. Thanks.
