Is there a Linux utility which will allow me to combine multiple .mov

mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy one.mov two.mov -o final.mov

or

avidemux has an append feature.



I received the error below from mencoder, which said to use "-oac pcm",
which I did like this and it worked:


mencoder -oac pcm -ovc copy file1.mov file2.mov -o final.mov


mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy GarthBrooks.mov chip_bag.mov -o final.mov
