Try this:

cat file1.avi file2.avi > temp.avi
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -forceidx temp.avi -o merged.avi

Sometimes this will work, sometimes not. A/V sync could be broken in
the second movie so be sure to check it. It most definitely will NOT
work if the two original avi files are using different codecs or
different image sizes or audio formats!
