Concatenate Quicktime movies via AppleScript
Authored by: tubbyman on May 23, '07 06:06:17PM
It is based on the Quicktime applescript "Merge Movie 1 onto Movie 2" or whatever it's called that comes with the Quicktime applescript set, just on a bigger scale. That script didn't work so hot for a 35 part movie that I wanted to assemble, so I wrote this script to would work for any number of movies, and handle the sorting on the fly. I've tried the "cat movie1.mov movie2.mov > movie3.mov" thing before, but the final movie is always hosed.

It works particulary well if you combine it with curl (or some webpage downloader) and fetch movies from the web, then drop the resulting movies onto it.

curl -O --url "http://somemoviesite.com/chapter[1-40].mov";
