example:
cat file001.avi file002.avi file003.avi > file.avi
It won't join files produced separately, but is ok if an original file was
split into sections by something like hjsplit.

It blows up on wmv files.

Most movie file formats cannot be simply concatenated so not even a
windows joiner would help you.

No reason for that, unless the output file is too big for your
system. What error does cat give you?

It throws garbage characters on the screen, beeps the system speaker and
the display starts scrolling.

Sounds like you omitted the "> bigfile" in the command above.

Cat worked perfectly for mpgs.
I wish I knew more about video and file formats. If the re-learning curve
was not so steep, I'd do some programming to create a GUI driven
splitter/joiner.....
Say..... many years ago, I saw a Visual Basic clone for linux. Anyone
know if that IDE is still available?

I'll second that. I can cat wmv files no problem. Whether the resulting
file is worth watching is something else though... <grin>
Something to watch out for is that sometimes the input filenames have
spaces in them, in which case you have to put quotes around each file to
be "cat"ed or rename them all to get rid of the spaces. (cat sees a space
as the delimiter for each input filename)

cut works fine but you'll get errors when playing the video file afterwards.

mencoder, ffmepeg or transcode should do the job

I have come into this thread late and not sure if this has been
suggested but...
How about lxsplit?
lxsplit is in Debian.

Then you must have missed the '>' symbol. You really need that to
redirect the output from your screen to the file.
