Unrelated to your question, but -aq and -ab are mutually exclusive.

Also unrelated: "--enable-pthreads --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter
--enable-zlib --enable-filter=movie" should all be automatically
detected if I recall correctly.  Note that libfdk_aac is generally
considered to provide better quality than libfaac, so if you plan on
re-compiling anytime soon it may be worth considering. Also see:

Can you also show your concat command and resulting console output? (I
may have missed it.)

Tell George H. "Lou from AK says hi".
