I think if I see cat used with MPEG-2 files one more time I'll
scream.
EEK!

Yes.

Yes - and it was shown recently, but in case it has not made it into
the archives here's the basics:
Create a SINGLE continuous input of YUV4MPEG2 data into the encoder
and create a single .m2v file of the desired length.
The same principle applies to the audio as well because splicing
.mp2 files together can result in A/V sync problems and/or clicks&pops
at the splice points.
Basically it goes like this:
#!/bin/sh
skip1()
{
read junk
cat
return 0
}
( \
YUV4MPEG-producer#1; \
YUV4MPEG-producer#2 | skip1; \
YUV4MPEG-producer#3 | skip1; \
YUV4MPEG-producer#4 | skip1; \
...
YUV4MPEG-producer#10 | skip1;
) | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o video2.m2v
The only problem that needs to be dealt with is the extra YUV4MPEG2
headers that are produced by the additional Y4M producers - just read
the first line and throw it away. At the end of the encoding there
will be a single continuous .m2v file.
