Android - How to join two videos

Question

Basically, I am looking for a way to combine two mp4 video files (on the sd card) together. More like, appending the second video at the end of the first one. I have searched a lot, but couldn't find a suitable solution. (well I wasn't able to find any solution at all).

So my question is, Is there a library available that can combine (and possibly trim) videos supported by android?

Most of the java libraries I looked for this were platform dependent, for ex Xuggler was not much help in this case.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use ffmpeg which is providing amazing features to the users to compress, split, merge and all kind of video/ audio editing/compressing/trancoding,etc. Version 1.1 (ffmpeg fire flower) onwards concat demuxer has been added to it, This is working fine in my android application.

You can use the mp4parser library to append videos. The problem is the limited documentation.
