Yes, no need to use something as heavy as cinelerra. mkv is a container format. You can have multiple audio and video streams and also subtitles in the same file. But what do you really mean by merging? It is rather meaningless to play one video with a different audio or mix two videos unless you are doing something advanced. This mencoder command line can merge two video files. $ mencoder video1.mpg video2.mpg -o merged.mpg -oac lavc -ovc lavc But for merging to work the codec parameters have to match accurately, like bitrates, aspect ratios, everything. I have not worked with avimerge or devede. You could try them as well. ffmpeg can also help. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
