I'm trying to find a way to combine video clips using mplayer. I want to add a standard two second title screen to a bunch of movies. I've created the animated sequence using gimp, and exported the .jpg files and created a .avi movie file using mencoder. How can I append this animation to the beginning of a prerecorded movie?
It seems that this would be very easy to do, but I can't find the options to do it. If it isn't possible to do with mplayer, are there any other tools to do it easily?
Thanks for any help.

There's probably some clever way to do it with mencoder, but the easiest way is to use one of the many little tools that comes with "transcode": avimerge -o big.avi -i one.avi two.avi three.avi
i did this for two (600 and 130 meg) avi files and then i've reencodec it with mencoder to fit in 700M. what i got was a desynced sound for the second half of the movie, and i don't know who to blame, avimerge or mencoder (ofcourse i blame avimerge :P ). I'd just doublecheck the resulted file if I were you.
You need to ensure the frame rates and resolution are the same &c., but if not, transcode is probably the easiest tool with which to change these.
Just type transcode into google.
