I use AviDemux to join videos (and to edit some) and despite its name its pretty much universal
I'm having problems (AVIMuxer, 2.6.1, 64-bit). I've never used this before.

The 2 files have identical format, VP6-E (On2), audio is MPEG-1 Audio layer 3. The bitrates are slightly different (892kbps and 1146kbps) and the WxH and aspect ratio are the same.
I can load file1, choose append and load file2, but I'm at sea with the settings I need (everything I tried fails - often with a suggestion the bitrate is too low).
Is there a help tutorial somewhere?

[edit]
I successfully joined the FLV files to another FLV file which seems fine, use Andy's FLV Joiner.
But I would like to convert to MP4 possibly H264 suitable for iPad. Is AVIDemuxer suitable, or should I use ffmpeg? I do have the right params lying around somwhere - previous help from blood.eaglz I think.

Incidentally, a few days ago I used ffmpeg to convert each part to mp4, then used copy /b to join - but I was disturbed by many tens of error messages from ffmpeg (something about 'droping', in yellow text). Maybe Andy's flv joiner just ignores any problems? (I am guessing).
