I have 3 videos of mp4 format. They have same resolution (640 X 1280) but other properties like frame rate etc are different. I want to join them back to back.So I gave a check on internet and I used the following method

:: Create File List
echo file file1.mp4 >  mylist.txt 
echo file file2.mp4 >> mylist.txt
echo file file3.mp4 >> mylist.txt

:: Concatenate Files
ffmpeg -f concat -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mp4

But unfortunately it did not worked.In the resultant video, file1 part got freezed, and audio of whole video shifted (no idea how).And other methods are also not working properly

I just want to join them back to back.Any idea how to do it?

Edit:- I gave a check on the output of the ffmpeg (using pause command in bat and discovered the following. Maybe it may help regarding the issue)

  • All inputs must have the same attributes to concatenate properly. Show the complete output of `ffmpeg -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mp4 -i file3.mp4`. It will not output a file, but will show info about each input. – llogan Feb 05 '21 at 03:46
  • Hi. I have edited my question. Thanks for giving a look to my question – Mayank Thapliyal Feb 05 '21 at 03:55
  • The input attributes vary. There are several methods to deal with this, but which method to recommend depends on what you're doing. Are you going to be concatenating often with arbitrary videos, or just this one time with these 3 particular inputs? – llogan Feb 05 '21 at 18:53
  • Hi. Thanks for giving a look to it. Yes,definitely I will be doing it many times with different videos. – Mayank Thapliyal Feb 06 '21 at 13:39
  • Also I did a little bit of research on the internet and I figured out this:- ffmpeg -i portrail_intro (5).mp4-i reddit.mp4 -i portrail_promo.mp4 -vsync 2 -filter_complex "[0:v] [0:a] [1:v] [1:a] [2:v] [2:a] concat=n=3:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" reddit_.mp4 . It worked but I am not sure about its workings. Will it be fine? – Mayank Thapliyal Feb 06 '21 at 13:41
