Thanks, that did the trick!

Question:
---------
Does it matter where on the command line safe is put (in the beginning or at the
end before the output file name)?
Maybe it must be defined before ffmpeg reaches file arguments?
Or does it read ALL arguments before starting to process them?

ffmpeg -hide_banner -safe 0 -f concat -i _filelist1_.txt -c copy ./Test.mp4

or

ffmpeg -hide_banner -f concat -i _filelist1_.txt -c copy -safe 0 ./Test.mp4

Where the _filelist1_.txt file contains full path to the videos to be pasted
together.
