tccat is part of and usually called by transcode.However, it can also be used independently.
tccat reads source (from stdin if not explicitely defined) and prints on the standard output. Directory contents is concatenated, if source files have the same format. Multiple AVI-files are also supported.
OPTIONS
- -i name

You can specify a file, directory, device, mountpoint or host address as input source. tccat usually handles the different types correctly. - -t magic
