That won't work, as you can't just cat y4m streams together. The have headers
and interal structure that will be messed up. I wrote a program y4mcat that
lets you do this, but it wouldn't be useful in this case.

Same problem, you can't cat the output from multiple ppmtoy4m streams together.
It'd be slower too, to restart ppmtoy4m for each frame.
You'd get better speed with something like:
find -name \*.ppm | xargs -n200 cat | ppmtoy4m
cat can't take 28800 files on the command line, but it can take more than 1.
