Hi, this is a bit off-topic, but maybe you can help me: When extracting the autio track of a concert on video DVD, I noticed that the *.VOB files each contained only about 16 minutes of music, resulting in multiple files. I extracted to flac for further processing, but now I wonder how to make one continuous sound stream of those: Can I simple concatenate the flac files to make on big file (and then reencode that), or do I need special tools. Those sound chunks end in the middle of tracks, so I need a perfect solution for clear sound. Regards, Ulrich

For example: sox part1.flac part2.flac part3.flac all.flac will make a new file called 'all.flac' which consists of the concatenated audio from each part. If you sox was built without flac support, decode each part to a .wav file, run sox on the .wavs and then recompress all.wav. Also, most tools will handle concatenated vob files, so you can try 'cat'-ing those together before extracting the audio in the first place. HTH, -r

That way I'd have a single source audio file. -- Tuomo ... I think, therefore I am. I think.
