The command
avimerge -o big.avi -i my_file1.avi my_file2.avi
my_file3.avi
merges the three input files my_file[123].avi into one big
AVI-file big.avi.
avimerge -o out.avi -i in.avi -p audio2.avi -a 1
merges track number 1 form in.avi to the next free track number
in out.avi. You can create audio-only AVI-files using
transcode -i song.mp3 -x null,mp3 -g 0x0 -y raw -a 1 -o
audio2.avi -u 50
The command
avimerge -o out.avi -i in.avi -p sound.mp3

description
avimerge
is a versatile tool. It can contatenate several AVI files
into one. It can also be used to fix an index of a broken
file and can also replace audio tracks or muxes new ones. It
can read raw AC3 and MP3 files for multplexing.
options
-o
name
Specify the name of the output
file.
-i file
Specify the name(s) of the
input file(s) to merge into the output file.
-p file
Specify the name of the audio
file to multiplex into the output file. The type of file can
be either another AVI file or an MP3 or AC3 file.
-b num
Specify if avimerge should write an VBR mp3 header into
the AVI file. Default is dependent on the input file (and
usually correct). num is either 1 or 0.
-c
Drop video frames in case audio is missing [off]
Only when merging multiple AVI
files. Some AVI files run a little bit (usually for one or
two video frames) short on audio. This means avimerge cannot
keep up sync when concatinating them. The files play fine
when played individually but not when merged because audio
from the new file gets played back with video from the old
file. avimerge will print a message like
No audiodata
left for track 0->0 (59950.25=59950.25) continuing ..
When you turn
on the -c option, the video which is too much will be
dropped.
-f
commentfile
Read AVI tombstone data for
header comments from commentfile. See
/docs/avi_comments.txt for a sample.
-x
indexfile
Read the AVI index from
indexfile. See aviindex(1) for information on how to
create such a file.
-a num
Specify the number of the audio track you want to use
from the input file.
-A num
Specify the number of the audio track you want to use in
the output file. If you specify an existing track
number, the track will be replaced. If omitted, the next
free slot will be used.
