How to Merge Multiple Video Clips with VLC player 

Managed to merge it and video is not showing anything but only audio, can help solve this problem?

Glad to be your 600th subscriber. This is great, all I got the VLC player for at this point was to do this so I could put up a clip real for my game on google play.

Thank you, spent hours watching other clips and didn't work, managed to get it working 1st time with your instruction.

Brilliant. Thank you. Just what I needed to edit videos for my students.

The merging works, but the second part of the video lost its sound. Have tried repeatedly, no difference. How to fix this?

If you have what appears to be a never ending loop, make sure you have repeat turned off and random tracks turned off in VLC.

in my situation, the combine process is fine, but the final result is not good. there are some part in the video is missing. like it auto cut some part of the video.

If you're getting the "your input can't be opened" error, put the full location of the files in quotation marks. Instead of 1.mp4, put "C:\Users\Benjamin\Desktop\New folder\1.mp4" Do this for all files you're trying to combine. It will spit out the file in your C:\Users\Benjamin folder.

it only merged audio (the video stays the same frame after the 1st video ends) and i had to change the script to: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" 1.mp4 2.mp4 3.mp4 --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=file.mp4}" --sout-keep how can i get it to merge all the videos properly?

How do you do this on macOS? I’ve been looking for tutorials on how to do it on Mac, but all I get is Windows. Please help.

Hi, thanks used this once and it worked, had to do again, and got this error message. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///C:/Users/megaf/Desktop/delete%20it/video1.mp4'. Check the log for details. Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///C:/Users/megaf/Desktop/delete%20it/video2.mp4'. Check the log for details. what did I do wrong?

I tried to merge 6 files following your instructions correctly and I managed to create the new video but the files are not all merged the video freezes at the 4th file! please help me

Thank you for this! I joined 3x mp3 files together no problem. Even for someone with no great it skill.

i opened notepad but the link could not found as shown in video where you paste vlc properties ?

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'my file'. Check the log for details. Help?

in your video when you open the notepad it comes up with that vlc location file automatically. when i open mine its blank. how do i get that to come up on note pad?

I managed to merge the clips but the final output does NOT open, any thoughts?

Thanks for your help! One issue: after merging the two files using your directions, the second part of the merged file has no sound. How do I address this? Thanks in advance!

Have searched lots of tutorials which don't tell the last step (the code part), finally this video shows! But it's a bit troublesome to use VLC to merge videos. Trying to find easier ways...

Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///C:/Users/HP/1.mp4'. Check the log for details.

Thank you this is very helpful

Thanks and I'm your 990 sub :)

this is insane. I used to merge files 10 years ago by just selecting and renaming, to do it in vlc is a colosal waste of time but thanks for the effort

Failed - 1. Converted three source files via VLAN GUI x64 bit, 2. merged three converted files using VLAN x64 bit via your command line, 3. Result = no video but has audio - i did three files Success - 1. merged three source files using VLAN x64 bit via your command line, 2. Result = Plays great but file is the total MB as all three source files Question - 1. how can we lower the file size without risking quality?

Wow ! Thank you so much for Fast & Easy Tricks to merge multiple clips.

Hi that program in the notepad will come automatically after coverting ? Please reply its urgent

I combined 5 files that were around 8 MB each but The combined file came out at a whopping 1.67 GB. The only difference being all the files and the final file are file type MPG. Anyway I can fix this without converting to MP4?

Hello, When I open the notepad for first time it's blank, How did you make notepad on 2:20 min/sec ??? thanks

Followed your steps, but at the last step I get a warning message in VLC that says it can't open the files to combine them. Any ideas?

HI i DID WAHT YOU SAID SAME WAY BUT AFTET MERGING VIDEO NOT PALYING, wHAT COULD BE THE REASON BOSS

Excellent set of instructions. Even I, a pensioner, understood it.

Does this affect the quality of the videos you merge. I've read somewhere online that there's a way to combine files and choose the output quality when using the cmd. You know what I mean? Also, how many clips can you join at once? Just two clips or more at the same time?

After doing this I found just icon of merged file of 4kb. There is no data in the file. Would you please help and solve my problem. "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" 1.mp4 2.mp4 --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=ok.mp4}" --sout-keep

Perfect video to watch... nice sir..

the audio is working, but there is no video... any suggestions?

Excellent!

till final step works perfectly and video file also created, but video is not playing and file is not showing any audio also

Perfecto. Simplemento perfecto. Gracias.

Save the file in .CMD format, and you save opening the (CMD), but when you want to put more than two files, you will have to edit this .cmd, and indicate how many files you want. "Good video, thanks"

when you open the note pad, there is something written on, how did you get that text on note pad?

I got this Error Message: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"Blue1.mp4Blue2.mp4Blue3.mp4Blue4.mp4' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sir, my converted file does not have audio. What to do??

Great yaar great 😃😊❤

I was able to merge the videos into one file but only got audio from the first file

thank you very much sir

Can we add pictures and texts in between these videos?

could you please tell the whole address written on note pad you didnt mention where you have taken that

I got the merged video but the audio is delayed, do you know how to fix that? thank you!

It helped me a lot bro ,tq for this vedio

This does not work the way it is presented on Windows 10. I had to modify it just to get to the input can't be opened error. Information is missing.

I didnt do it properly and now vlc doesnt open, I redownloaded it again and still doesnt open, can someone tell me what to do. I think thats because I have done something in cmd I dont know, please help me.

Is there a max length or size on this? I combined 2 5+min videos. When I try to play the final file it shows over 10 min of video available and proceeds through the time, but there isnt any video (file did not contain audio so idk if that would work or not)

If you have 100 files to merge, do you need to type 100 names such as....vlc_location 1.mp4 2.mp4 3.mp4 4.mp4 5.mp4 6.mp4 (etc etc) --sout "#gather:std{access=file,dst=final_file_name.mp4}" --sout-keep. Please HELP.

I managed to merge but came as audio. Please assist

Thank you so much it's working !

any idea what I did wrong, my output file doesn't have audio?

Is it possible to merge more than 2 files into one?

Hi thank you for the info I did everything correct got the final file but can't play it i get this message This file isn't playable. That might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is corrupt. 0xc10100be can you help?

This is amazing! So EASY, you blew my mind. Thank you so much.

very helpful.. Thankyou

Thanks I just needed to merge and upload my videos on RU-vid.

You saved my day!!! Cheers buddy!

I don't understand, why should I get through such a complicated process for such a easy task, I prefer to do it online with just couple of clicks

Thanks you, very useful

subscribed bro. you are doing great.

Thank You Dada

hey when i go to my cmd and past is in it sayed this nput cannot be opened: VLC cannot open MRL 'file: /// E: /frag%20moment/1c.mp4'. Check the log for details. Can u maby help me

sad... it work but the part where the second file is dont have any audio

I find this video useful. I also have some remarks: If I join 2 files works fine. If I join 3 or more the image becomes blurry after the transition of every joined file. If I join 2 files, then I join the resulted file with a 3rd file, every transition is plagued by blurriness (it remembers that there were 3 files). The files are "Video for MPEG4 1080p TV/device" format. (I need this quality.) Do you know a reason why it behaves like that and what can be done to avoid it? Thanks!

the first program on notepad what is it

I loof you and your Indian accent!

my second video is upside down any command i can add to make it rotate?

Thank you it worked

it seems like it doesn't work with more than one file. you should have mentioned that

After I open notepad. No link appeared. Why?

What to do for three different videos?

will this work with .avi files or just .mp4?

@himel when i open notepad its empty. What went wrong??

Thanks, this was extremely helpful.

Instructions are perfect, thank you.

Thank you! Works for me.

Thanks bhai

make sure to put quotes around paths and filenames with spaces. example if a video file is named Bobs Awesome Video.mp4 change the commandline to "Bobs Awesome Video.mp4"
