mergAV works on OS X because AVFoundation is very similar on iOS and OS X but 
it would be a major project to create similar functionality for the other 
platforms. It would probably need to be a separate FFmpeg external and then 
that external probably wouldn’t be iOS compatible because of the difficulty 
complying with LGPL in iOS externals for LiveCode and then there’s the whole 
MPEG LA patent quagmire that I very much doubt LiveCode Ltd would like to step 
into.
