#------------------------------
#--- EXAMPLE: single line concat with standard concat protocol ---#

# This example only available for files that are the same type
# AND that are MPG and MPEG transport streams:

# ffmpeg -i "concat:input1.mpg|input2.mpg|input3.mpg" -c copy output.mpg


#------------------------------
#--- EXAMPLE: single line concat with concat demuxer ---#

# This example for files that are of the same type
# but is much more flexible as far as what filetype that is:

# ffmpeg -f concat -i <(for f in ~/Documents/ffmpegTests/src/*.mov; do echo "file '$f'"; done) -c copy output.mov


#------------------------------
#--- EXAMPLE: Demuxer: list.txt with concat demuxer ---#

# this file named 'mylist.txt'
# all files to be concatenated:

file 'input1.mov'
file 'input2.mov'
file 'input3.mov'

# note: can be relative path or absolute paths.

# then run:

# ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output
