I am trying to concatenate multiple mp4 audio files (each containing only one audio track, all recorded with the same MediaRecorder and the same parameters) into one using the following function:
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)
public static boolean concatenateFiles(File dst, File... sources) {
if ((sources == null) || (sources.length == 0)) {
return false;
}
boolean result;
MediaExtractor extractor = null;
MediaMuxer muxer = null;
try {
// Set up MediaMuxer for the destination.
muxer = new MediaMuxer(dst.getPath(), MediaMuxer.OutputFormat.MUXER_OUTPUT_MPEG_4);
// Copy the samples from MediaExtractor to MediaMuxer.
boolean sawEOS = false;
int bufferSize = MAX_SAMPLE_SIZE;
int frameCount = 0;
int offset = 100;
ByteBuffer dstBuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(bufferSize);
BufferInfo bufferInfo = new BufferInfo();
long timeOffsetUs = 0;
int dstTrackIndex = -1;
for (int fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < sources.length; fileIndex++) {
int numberOfSamplesInSource = getNumberOfSamples(sources[fileIndex]);
if (VERBOSE) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Source file: %s", sources[fileIndex].getPath()));
}
// Set up MediaExtractor to read from the source.
extractor = new MediaExtractor();
extractor.setDataSource(sources[fileIndex].getPath());
// Set up the tracks.
SparseIntArray indexMap = new SparseIntArray(extractor.getTrackCount());
for (int i = 0; i < extractor.getTrackCount(); i++) {
extractor.selectTrack(i);
MediaFormat format = extractor.getTrackFormat(i);
if (dstTrackIndex < 0) {
dstTrackIndex = muxer.addTrack(format);
muxer.start();
}
indexMap.put(i, dstTrackIndex);
}
long lastPresentationTimeUs = 0;
int currentSample = 0;
while (!sawEOS) {
bufferInfo.offset = offset;
bufferInfo.size = extractor.readSampleData(dstBuf, offset);
if (bufferInfo.size < 0) {
sawEOS = true;
bufferInfo.size = 0;
timeOffsetUs += (lastPresentationTimeUs + APPEND_DELAY);
}
else {
lastPresentationTimeUs = extractor.getSampleTime();
bufferInfo.presentationTimeUs = extractor.getSampleTime() + timeOffsetUs;
bufferInfo.flags = extractor.getSampleFlags();
int trackIndex = extractor.getSampleTrackIndex();
if ((currentSample < numberOfSamplesInSource) || (fileIndex == sources.length - 1)) {
muxer.writeSampleData(indexMap.get(trackIndex), dstBuf, bufferInfo);
}
extractor.advance();
frameCount++;
currentSample++;
if (VERBOSE) {
Log.d(TAG, "Frame (" + frameCount + ") " +
"PresentationTimeUs:" + bufferInfo.presentationTimeUs +
" Flags:" + bufferInfo.flags +
" TrackIndex:" + trackIndex +
" Size(KB) " + bufferInfo.size / 1024);
}
}
}
extractor.release();
extractor = null;
}
result = true;
}
catch (IOException e) {
result = false;
}
finally {
if (extractor != null) {
extractor.release();
}
if (muxer != null) {
muxer.stop();
muxer.release();
}
}
return result;
}
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
public static int getNumberOfSamples(File src) {
MediaExtractor extractor = new MediaExtractor();
int result;
try {
extractor.setDataSource(src.getPath());
extractor.selectTrack(0);
result = 0;
while (extractor.advance()) {
result ++;
}
}
catch(IOException e) {
result = -1;
}
finally {
extractor.release();
}
return result;
}
The code compiles and runs, but when playing the resulting file, I hear only the contents of the first file. I do not see what I am doing wrong.
However, after Marlon pointed me to that direction, there is something strange about the messages I am getting from the MediaMuxer. Here they are:

It seems that after copying data from the first file, MPEG4Writer (why not MediaMuxer?) stops the track and does not write further data. How can I prevent that? Do I have to manipulate the headers directly, and if so, how?
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Christian
