[FFmpeg-user] problem converting and combining these FLV files

[phil curb]

Thanks, so 

copy /B Karateka.mpg+Karateka2.mpg
ffmpeg -i Karateka.mpg -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq whole.mpg

That did it. 

But

Howcome this one combines no problem, with copy /b or cat. Without any remux necessary
http://www.berkut13.com/videos/brakeup.mpg  

It suggests to me that Karateka.flv is not being correctly converted to mpg, so the mpegs themselves are a bit odd hence not combining normally. But what's up with them?

Hello,

I did the same on a linux system and while just copying I had similar 
issues. In my case it helped to do a remux with ffmpeg of the combined 
file with this command:

|cat video1.mxf video2.mxf | ffmpeg -i - -acodec copy -vcodec mpeg2video 
-b 5M whole.mpg

|||This is how it worked on Ubuntu, on a windows set-up you might 
replace 'cat' with you copy-routine.
The '-' as input tells ffmpeg to use the cat-merged file as input. This 
command is explained on ffmbc.wordpress.com

greetings,
b
