Merging files with mkvmerge

In a follow-on to my previous post, I have a method for merging media files back together. After searching for a long (LONG) time for  an easy, efficient way to do this (that was at least as easy and efficient as the previous method for splitting), I finally came across mkvmerge. This tool is part of the mkvtoolnix package for working with Matroska (.mkv) files.

mkvmerge can handle many different file type formats. For simply appending media files together, the syntax is:

mkvmerge -o output.mkv input1 + input2


And voilà! So, do you have a different/better way to create media files? Let's hear it!
