I have two h.264 encoded .m4v files, generated with Handbrake 0.9.3. They used the same Handbrake preset. How can I merge the two files into one movie, and do I need to do anything special to preserve chapter marks?
In case anyone is wondering, they are "An Evening with Kevin Smith", discs 1 and 2. I also own an older copy of "Se7en" which has the movie split between two sides, so I'll run into this issue eventually when I rip/encode that movie.
And then do I just rerun this through Handbrake? Will that degrade quality too much? – Bob King – 2009-07-21T02:55:39.183
I would personally just do everything with ffmpeg. Re-encoding a file multiple times will absolutely degrade the quality.
If it was pretty high quality at the start, and you're using 'good' settings I would doubt you will see a big difference though. You need to have a pretty trained eye :) – Evert – 2009-07-21T03:48:33.880
