I wanted to combine my snippets of video shot on our family vacation into one file for easy viewing on my mythtv frontend.<\/p>\n
I tried to use mkvmerge, but it gave errors because of the heading \/ encodings.\u00a0 so only the 1st video was visible when playing it back \u2014 the later files appended were blank.<\/p>\n
I did a little testing with files converting them with handbrake re-encoding them and then it combined them nicely.\u00a0 Files are also a little smaller after encoding too!
\nSo here is the process.<\/p>\n
\n\n
- Put all the files in one directory.<\/li>\n
- Open handbrake \u2014 Click Source button and choose the directory \u2014 it will scan the directory and list add all the files to the drop down.<\/li>\n
- Select a different directory for the out put and click add all to queue from the menu (Queue -> Add all to Queue )<\/li>\n
- Then open the queue and click start.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they are all encoded, go into mkvmerge and click add to add<\/strong> the first file.\u00a0 Then click append<\/strong> button and select other files.<\/p>\n
