| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Selector | Iterates through this list of file endings, selects all files which matches with the current file ending except ones which start with a dot. The list can be overwritten by --format or -f, example: --format mp4,mkv. |
| FPS_Changer | After detecting not matching fps values, it scales all the higher fps videos down to the lowest detecting fps value. Can be skipped by --skip-fps-changer. The desired fps value can be set by --fps, example: --fps 23.976. |
| Chapterer | After the merge job is done, it creates the same file but with chapters in it, the title is all in between the first dash till the file extension, example: Video_A - Chapter 1.mp4. Can be skipped by --skip-chapterer. |
Vidmerger is a command-line-tool which uses ffmpeg to merge multiple video-files with the same file-extension into one file, for example running vidmerger . on mp4 files would create a merged video called output.mp4 🐣

You can also use Docker to run vidmerger without installing anything except Docker, hosted on Dockerhub.
docker container run -v <PATH-TO-YOUR-VIDEOS>:/data tgotwig/vidmergerExamples with Bash:
docker container run -v ./data:/data tgotwig/vidmerger
docker container run -v ./data:/data tgotwig/vidmerger --versionRust and some listed Crates inside of Cargo.toml under dependencies.
Once you are done with installing the prerequisites, run task:
git clone git@github.com:TGotwig/vidmerger.git
cd vidmerger
taskIf you see anything to improve, just create an issue or directly open a pull request 🤗✨
Run task build to build for Mac, Linux and Windows. You can find the compressed Mac & Linux .tar.gz-archives for Github under target/tars, the .exe file for Windows under tools.
- Homebrew (MacOS & Linux): Gets automatically deployed by release.yml after pushing a git tag.
- Chocolatey (Windows): Gets automatically deployed by release.yml after pushing a git tag.
Increasing all versions by find and replace, then after task build:
- Dockerhub: Run
task publish_dockerhub.
We use SemVer for versioning.
- For major tests:
task test(requiresyt-dlpandffmpegto be installed) - For linting tests:
task lint
