This message is about output, not input. Please test remuxing a single
file, without concat, using the first file in each sequence:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4


>> yes, its giving the same error...

If, as I suspect, it fails the same way, your problem is exactly what is
written in the second line of the error message.

Also, note that you posted on the wrong mailing-list. Adding ffmpeg-user
as recipient, please reply only there.
