Merge two/more video chunk into one file

[arati_mane]

Hi all,

I want to merge video chunks into one video file. I have used 'cat' command for joining chunks file , but while play it will play only first chunk file.

code for joining file is using 'cat command as follows :

exec("cat tmpvideo/. >> tmpvideo/". $tmpname);

And using file function is :

if ($handle = opendir('/home/ftpusers/zoopy/zoopy-stage/public/tmpvideo')) {

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

    echo $file."\n";

$fh=fopen("/home/ftpusers/zoopy/zoopy-stage/public/tmpvideo/".$file,"r");

$content=fread($fh, filesize("/home/ftpusers/zoopy/zoopy-stage/public/tmpvideo/".$file));

fclose ($fh);

 $fh1=fopen("tmpvideo/".$tmpname,"a+") or die("unable to create file");
 fwrite($fh1,$content);

fclose($fh1);


}

closedir($handle);

}

Using this code it join the file , but while run it gives error of corrupt file.

Plz help me to join chunks file of video into one file.

Because the videos are encoded you cannot join them like a ASCII file. I am not aware of any core php modules/classes/functions that allow you to do this. I would try http://www.phpclasses.org/ they may have a class for this.

I would check out ffmpeg. Once you get the command working on the command line, then you can call the command from PHP.
