looking for a video joiner freeware

[Olivier Staiger]

here is the situation:

I shoot video clips with a camera that records them as MOV H.264/AVC files.


The files are recorded on SD card and the netbook I use has SD card reader so it is really easy, no cables needed.


Uploading them "as is" e.g. to youtube is no problem. I can even do a little bit of editing ( cutting ) with the camera - but no joining !

e.g. if I shoot 4 clips and I want to merge, to join them, I need a software to do so. And if possible, a free software.

I found out about Allok Video Joiner but it is not free. If I use the trial version it will use only the first 50% of each clip to join them.

so the question : do you know of a freeware that allows me to simply join a few video files together to make one longer video, without having to go through long video editing ?

thanks.

Oliver, you might try MPEG Streamclip. It's free and I'm fairly sure it will read those files, and if I remember correctly, it can do some lightweight splicing/trimming too.

I have the same problem with the Panasonic SD5 camcorder. So i went back to using my sony PD150P, which is mini DV.
