Merging files of different and various types can be done with ffmpeg -i. I've had occasional troubles with ffmpeg choking on certain files then having to turn to mencoder or vice versa. mencoder is more powerful than ffmpeg in general which means ffmpeg is easier to learn. If you prefer more of a gui approach, avidemux2 is a good app. -- Adam Vandemore Systems Administrator IMED Mobility (605) 498-1610
