Create an editlist with all your files in then lav2yuv editlist.edl | mencoder - ..... Or cat all your avis together and run the output file through mencoder -ao copy -ovc copy -o newfile.avi -forceidx outfile.avi then encode newfile.avi Doing this before all files are at least created is a bit trickier. Maybe you could write a script that spots when a new segment is created and sends its name through a named pipe to lav2yuv. Something like: mkfifo fifo new_file_spotter | fifo lav2yuv fifo | mencoder - ... Or maybe it could be simpler. Presumably you know roughly how many segments will be created so you could try lav2yuv seg1.avi seg2.avi ... segN.avi segN+1.avi | mencoder - ... The first two ideas work, I've not tried the second two :-) Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
