[MPlayer-users] MOV Files joining issues

[Alexander Bokovikov]

Hi, All,
I need to join some identically encoded MOV files with SVQ1 video and AAC 
audio, encoded on my Mac. I'm going as MPlayer doc recommends and trying:

mencoder.exe -oac copy -fafmttag 0x706D -ovc copy -o out.avi infile1.mov 
infile2.mov

But I'm getting an error after the first file is processed:

"All files must have identical audio codec and format for -oac copy."

But both of my files have just the same encoding parameters! Both are with 
AAC codec and the same bitrate and framerate. What is the problem? The 
encoding listing is below:

And what does it mean:
audiocodec: framecopy (format=0 chans=1 rate=22050 bits=16 B/s=43 sample-0)

It looks like format has been detected as "0" for the second file... OK, you 
say "your seconf file is invalid!"... OK, I just swap files -- I insert the 
second one to the first position... and get just the same error! It looks 
like this command line just does not recognize the second file whatever it 
is!

Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.
