Ffmpeg merge two mov files with iPhone

I am trying to combine two videos recorded on an iPhone into a single file with ffmpeg.

I tried everything I could find, and I cannot get something to work correctly.

My current line

ffmpeg -i 'concat:output.mov|capturedvideo.MOV' -vcodec copy -acodec copy output2.mov

This will not work at present. The end result should play on the iPhone.

Since you are not transcoding, you cannot merge two mp4 containers in exactly the same way. See this page .

Essentially, you need to convert the files (without transcoding) to MPEG transport streams:

ffmpeg -i input1.mp4 -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts intermediate1.ts
ffmpeg -i input2.mp4 -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts intermediate2.ts
ffmpeg -i "concat:intermediate1.ts|intermediate2.ts" -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

You will need the latest version ffmpeg. Try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ffmpeg(on Ubuntu Linux) or brew update; brew install ffmpeg(on Mac OS X)
