20 Aug 11
Hi,
I am creating a bash script which search video files in a folder and join video files which are splitted into multiple parts.
for e.g.
shark.cd1.avi
shark.cd2.avi
catroon.cd1.avi
cartoon.cd2.avi
cartoon.cd3.avi
so as to make a single file for e.g. shark.avi and cartoon.avi
Please tell me some tips and suggestions, how to do it. i.e. what way i can find and join the files accordingly ordered by ther cd number.
Thanks

It seems like you were asking us to do the script... ;)
I could do the script, the only problem is that I do not know how to join the video files... I guess ffmpeg could help in there? I'll try this afternoon

That should be wasy with your experience, setup a bash script which accepts a keyword, then greps the current working directory for all files with that word in the name, orders then using seq and adds their names to the syntax for ffmpeg to join them.

Here's two commands you could try working into your script.
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy part1.avi part2.avi part3.avi -o complete.avi
OR
avimerge -o complete.avi -i part1.avi part2.avi part3.avi
Hope one of these helps you out, :-)
