Concatinating mp4 files to a single mp4 file

Question

I have some mp4 video files with me and i need to concatenate them one by one and make a single MP4 video file.

I came to know about FFMPEG through which we can concat files.

I tried doing

ffmpeg -i concat:'file1.mp4|file2.mp4' -vcodec copy -acodec copy  -y OutCome.mp4

But while executing the command i always get file2.mp4,no such file exists,but the file is there in the folder.

What i am doing wrong? or is there any other tool which can help me achieve this target through command line.

Answer 1

You can only concat files which "like" being concated

ffmpeg -i q.mp4 -c copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb q.ts
ffmpeg -i r.mp4 -c copy -bsf h264_mp4toannexb r.ts
ffmpeg -i "concat:q.ts|r.ts" -c copy -bsf aac_adtstoasc qr.mp4

Joining H264 without re-encoding

Another option is the concat demuxer

Answer 2

Try using MP4Joiner. I have used this tool to accomplish exactly what you appear to be attempting.

PS sorry about the reply to the old question, but for others browsing here this tool works very well.
