Concatenate Quicktime movies via AppleScript
Authored by: Anonymous on May 23, '07 03:33:55PM
This looks like an evolution of a simpler script "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2.scpt" from Apple's QuickTime script collection, where a bunch more goodies QuickTime can do only thru AppleScript are documented.

To do this without QTPro, or with formats that QuickTime Pro does not handle (MPEG2 for example are read-only by QTPro), use the unix cat command in Terminal (or with do shell script in AppleScript):
cat /Path/To/movie1.mpg /Path/To/movie2.mpg /Path/To/movie3.mpg > /Path/To/combined.mpg
(I've only used it for MPEG2, don't quote me on being able to cat valid files with other formats. There might be headers that get horked.)
