@section How can I concatenate video files?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are several solutions, depending on the exact circumstances.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
@subsection Concatenating using filters
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
FFmpeg has a @url{http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#concat-1, @code{concat}}
 | 
			
		||||
filter designed specifically for that, with examples in the documentation.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
@subsection Concatenating at the file level
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A few multimedia containers (MPEG-1, MPEG-2 PS, DV) allow to concatenate
 | 
			
		||||
video by merely concatenating the files them.

@subsection Concatenating using raw audio and video
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Similarly, the yuv4mpegpipe format, and the raw video, raw audio codecs also
 | 
			
		||||
allow concatenation, and the transcoding step is almost lossless.
 | 
			
		||||
When using multiple yuv4mpegpipe(s), the first line needs to be discarded
