Convert files - launch vlc : Menu -> Media -> Open multiple files - select & add videos - click play selection to get drop-down menu - click convert (choose "ogv" format??) - choose options and destination folder https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-use-vlc-to-combine-two-clips By Aaron Parson Though best known for video playback, VLC Media Player has a whole second life as a video editing tool. There's a good reason few know about these features, however: You can access some only through the Command Prompt. One of VLC's command-line features gathers multiple video clips and outputs them into a single file. To start, you need two clips with identical encoding, so begin by transcoding the files if necessary. Step 1 Transcode both of your clips into matching video formats. Step 3 My interpretation for Linux $ vlc 1.avi 2.avi --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=3.avi}" --sout-keep Close the VLC window before you try to open your new file, or the new file won't merge correctly, causing an incorrect time count or corrupted video. # enddoc
