Linux does not have a limit there since version 2.6.23. Under previous
versions, the limit was 128?ko.

On the other hand, most Unix have such a limitation. Single Unix only
mandates a 4?ko minimum. The usual solution for this problem is to allow to
read the list from a file. It would be nice, and probably not much work, if
"concat:" would allow it.

A good shell can make it quite easy:

files=(*.jpg); ffmpeg -i concat:${(j:|:)files} ...

But that does not mean I find your efforts worthless, quite the contrary.
