Hi Ian,

Convert and resize one video (to exactly parameters of other video:
size, frame rate etc.) at output "mpegts" format ("rawvideo" codec)
and concatenate with second mpeg ts raw video, and mux to output
format...

Always big size video converted to small size format is a better then
directly recorded small size video and also better is a resize big
video to small. Don't resize small video to big without necessary
arguments... only if fixed DVD, TV format standards needed.
