[FFmpeg-user] Problem concatenating .mp4 files - dimensions not set

[David Favor]

Trying to concatenate a set of .mp4 files together
with no intermediate disk space and having no luck.

Looks like something simple is missing.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Version of ffmpeg is...

David-Favor-iMac> ffmpeg -version 2>&1 | grep version
ffmpeg version 0.7.3, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers

Files are...

Command (one of many attempted) is...

cat 00*.mp4 | ffmpeg -benchmark -y -f mp4 -s 1920x1080 -i - -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -s 1920x1080 test.mp4

Errors are...
