The transcode package has a utility in it called avimerge.
It joins separate video files into one and can mux in audio too.
ffmpeg will join video but needs pipes and lots of fancy dancing,
but it only seems to work CLI in rxvt and it won`t work in a script.

As usual I looked on debian.org for a binary but to my surprise there was none.
This is one of the few examples I haven`t found what I wanted at debian.org

Ubuntu only had ONE package in the Video section! That`s just SICK!!!
Interestingly... Ubuntu`s package main page is identical to Debians...
I haven`t bothered to look at RPM files, they seem to have problems in Puppy.

edit:

Upon further investigation I found this for Debian:

http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/package/transcode.php

I found this from MythTV wiki where I find a lot of good video info.

There is a Fedora RPM at atrpms.net.
From my past experience, they tend to have fully enabled builds, so there may be a lot of dependencies.

Here is a list of what it was built with from the .spec file:

#BuildRequires: autoconf, libtool
#BuildRequires: libtool-ltdl-devel
BuildRequires: gcc-c++
BuildRequires: ffmpeg-devel >= 0.4.9
#BuildRequires: libpostproc-devel

#BuildRequires: divx4linux-devel
BuildRequires: xvidcore-devel
BuildRequires: freetype-devel >= 2.0
#BuildRequires: avifile-devel >= 0.7.25
BuildRequires: lame-devel >= 3.89
BuildRequires: libogg-devel
BuildRequires: libvorbis-devel

BuildRequires: libexif-devel, libtiff-devel, bzip2-devel

#BuildRequires: glib-devel

Iwill; I found that too, but if you try to download anything it just leads you in a loop.
The main Debian repository of packages doesn`t have transcode.

I hoped someone had a binary file I could get, and maybe dependancies...

Finally found it in one of the Unbuntu releases...
All dependencies are already in Dpup, probably any Puppy-4xx.

Try this. It includes a compile of FFMPEG checkout from 17th October 2009, libmpeg, and the Transcode CLI program.

It should work on Puppy 4.3.1, but I wouldn't be surprised if it works on any Puppy from 4.x onwards.

Transcode 1.1.4
