# This script can be used to combine multiple FFMPEG files into one without re-encoding
# It lists all the *mp4 files in current directory and then builds a file list, passing it to FFMPEG
# FFMPEG does concatenation and then we remove the file list
# Requirements: FFMPEG, Linux, Bash
# Save to ffmpeg-combine-noreencoding.sh, do `chmod +x ffmpeg*sh`, then run like `./ffmpeg-combine-noreencoding.sh`
# * Please run only in folder with the FFMPEG files you want to combine
# * Files will be combined in alphabetical way
# * Process takes some time, output filename is normally always output.mp4
