Here’s a quick tip on how to combine multiple separate videos into a single one, using ffmpeg
.
First, create a text file that has the filenames for all your different fragments.
$ cat files.txt
file 'file 1.mkv'
file 'file 2.mkv'
file 'file 3.mkv'
file 'file 4.mkv'
All the files in files.txt
will be concatenated to a single output file. Add/remove lines as needed.
Now, use ffmpeg
to combine them all.
$ ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i files.txt -c copy output.mkv

The end result, if this was successful, is an output.mkv
file that has all fragments combined.
