Merge video clips into one video file using CMD
Step 1: Rename your Video file
Suppose you have 3 videos in your hard drive root drive: video1.mpg, video2.mpg, and video3.mpg just rename them to a, b, and c. I mean without extension just the letter. If you don’t see extension go to folder option and check the block of the show file extension.
So your video will look like:
video1.mpg ->a (without .mpg)
video2.mpg ->b (without .mpg)
video3.mpg ->c (without .mpg)

Then type your location like “C: , D: , E: etc.”. Go to the location where the files are stored, you can get location from the address bar in the explorer like shown below. For simplification store them in single folder.

For example my video is on location “H:videoHollywood movies” then I will open CMD then type “h:” without quotes and then type “cd H:videoHollywood movies” without quotes. Here cd is a command to get into any directory.
Step 3: Final step
Type this code: Copy /b a + b + c videoname.mpg and press enter
Or
copy /b “C:File.mp4” + “C:File1.mp4” CombinedFile.mp4
Command Prompt |
You can give any name to file with an extension. Now, wait till you see: 1 file <s> copied, then type exit and press enter.
That’s it. You are done!
Open the new video file and enjoy. So If you want to join two or more files then those files must have the same extension and if you change directory C:> to D:> then, you just type the drive name like “D” and colon like D: then press enter.
Please note that Your video files will not be deleted. Please make a backup of your files if needed.
