Video Split/Join Using Mencoder

Mencoder is a free command line video decoding, encoding and filtering tool released under the GNU GPL. It is a close sibling to MPlayer and can convert all the formats that MPlayer understands into a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs.Here I use it as the video split and join tool.

1 Split
Split video inputfile.ts from 1:00 minute and the output file is split.ts which last 5 minutes. -oac copy -ovc copy means keep the original audio and video codec.

mencoder -ss 1:00 -endpos 5:00 -oac copy -ovc copy inputfile.ts -o split.ts

2 Join
Join the test1.ts and test2.ts as sum.ts.All video files must have identical fps, resolution, and codec for -ovc copy.

mencoder test1.ts test2.ts -ovc copy -oac copy -o sum.ts

3 Check the available ovc or oac
