Looking for an easy, simple to use and free video joiner that will not re-encode the videos - just place one video after the other and make it into one video. Must be able to do this with MPEG2 and H.264 - Mac or PC.

Anyone know of any?

Thanks!

Doesn't Quicktime, even the non-Pro version, let you do this? If not that, then MPEG Streamclip must.

The non-Pro version of QuickTime is basically just a player. MPEG Streamclip is the best choice, but you will still need Apple's MPEG2 QuickTime plugin in order to directly work with MPEG2 files.

MPEG Streamclip seems pretty good, but I have an issue but it may be my own stupidity:

I'm opening both files in MPEG Streamclip and then hitting "Save as". Both videos seem to be joined, but there is a 100MB loss in file size - and there is no sound (I'm working with H264) - any ideas?

Thanks for all the help.
