Click on Media at the top menu bar. Choose Open Multiple files from the list. A new window will open. Go to File tab. Click on Add. A new window will open. Choose the file that you need. Click on Open.
Go to Play button. Click on the arrow to see the drop-down list. Choose Convert from the list. Set Profile to Video – H.265+MP3(MP4). Check Append –converted to file name. Click on Start. Wait until is done. You can play converted video now.

Open the folder with videos. Click on the address line. Type cmd and press Enter. A new window will open. Cope the line from the text file. Paste it into cmd window. Press Enter.
VLC player will open and will play the merged video file.

This plays the videos in order but doesnt seem to make a MERGED file. Am i missing something? Im looking to merge the files into one large video file.

I agree I lost my audio when the two files converged. Video works now but no sound. that's an issue.

[hcombs]

This did not work for me, either. No sound after second video. Solution?

[muctebanesiri]

i did but only the first file has sound and others are silent

[erinmcgrath]

How are the combined files saved into one file? I can play this, but not save🤔. I was already able to get the clips to play consecutively. I thought I've done this before with a similar process. The video shows a saved file, but the written instruction set does not. Thx.

[patrickchu]

No audio from the 2nd video. any solution for this please?

If I use the in-built program option, it doesn't work -- the program simply re-creates copies of the individual original files with the appended "-converted" to their file name.
If I use the *command-line code*, then the videso *DO get merged*, but *only the FIRST file* to have been added *has SOUND !!! :(*

This is the easiest vid i have found on youtube
Im gonna share it if thats ok..

[toeface]

jeez why do they have to make it so complicated

[neelamharit]

I have merged 4 files, I am getting only sound in the final file no video

[rachelbumbaca]

question.. what the max amount of files u can merge.. and then do u have to list all numbers in the cmd line...

[tomkleinsasser]

Is it possible to add a start time and a stop time in the script, to extract and combine multiple parts of a video without recoding

[johnkramer]

does not work, get 2 files both without audio.

[linhdoan]

This couldn't work for me. The cmd just open VLC with 2 files in playlist.

[Dirtbreaks]

the output file does not play, it just hangs, maybe its an outdated tutorial?

[danieljoldenkamp]

WTF VLC Team?! why remove the merge functionality. This is a horrible solution.
I will just use Windows 10 build in video editior under Photos for combining MP4, should do a video on that, this method sucks.

[mohamedmarzouk]

Can we merge the two videos to work simultaneously one on the top and the other on the bottom of the screen ?!

[veritasaequitas]

Christ!! What a ridiculously contrived procedure. What's wrong with picking files in the order they are to be of joined in, click Save, enter file name and location and click OK?

[vilipudeva]

I am sure people who like wasting time on the computer will find this method fascinating.
