Merge AVI files in Debian Linux

Here’s a nice quick way to merge 2 or more AVI files into 1.

1. Add Debian Multimedia to your sources list

   vi /etc/apt/sources.list

   vi /etc/apt/sources.list

   I’m currently using Squeeze – change to your distro as necessary

   deb http://deb-multimedia.org squeeze main

   deb http://deb-multimedia.org squeeze main

   apt-get update

   apt-get update

2. Install the Debian Multimedia keyring

   apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y apt-get update

   apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y apt-get update

3. Install Transcode

   apt-get install transcode-utils

   apt-get install transcode-utils

4. Merge away

   avimerge -o Merged.avi -i Part1.avi Part2.avi

   avimerge -o Merged.avi -i Part1.avi Part2.avi
