The `ffmpeg-cat` media concat. utility

This utility concatenates multiple video files using the familiar cat command syntax. It is designed to make concatenation of
splitted similar spec files(e.g. dash cam recordings) easier for
regular users that don't want other fancy features.

Installation

 # Install the package

 sudo snap install ffmpeg-cat

 # If your input files lived in /media or /mnt connect the

 # confinement plug to allow access

 sudo snap connect ffmpeg-cat:removable-media

Usage

This is a text-based program which should be run in a text terminal.

Common usage example:

 ffmpeg-cat inputfile1 inputfile2... > output.mkv

It should be easy to insert the input file arguments via simply
dragging the input files(assuming to be sorted in alphabetical order)
from a file manager to a text terminal emulator(like Konsole).

Note that currently only the Matroska container format(MKV) is
supported as the output file format, as it is more flexible on what
kind of video/audio streams it can encapsulate. Support for other
media container formats can be implemented if there's significant
need for the feature.

*Environment variables that can customize the program's behavior*

FFCATDROPSRC_FILES: Whether to automatically remove the input files
after a successful conversion.

Default value: false

Supported values: false, true
