I had to add the protocol white list for file and pipe on OSX. Here's what worked for me: ls file1.mp4 file2.mp4 | perl -ne 'print "file $_"' | ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -protocol_whitelist "file,pipe" -i - -c copy output.mp4

A lot of perl and such being bandied about, when you can just do this: printf "file '%s'\n" Movie_Part_*.mp4

I had to add this parameter to ffmpeg to make it work: -protocol_whitelist file,tcp,http,pipe

I did something like this to handle movies with spaces in their paths: echo -e "file '/home/some dir/video_1.mkv'\nfile '/home/some dir/video_2.mkv'" | ffmpeg -f concat -i - -c copy 'output.mkv'

In Windows CMD I used this: ls *mp4 | sed "s/\(*mp4\)/file \1/" | ffmpeg -f concat -i - -c:v copy output.mp4

On Linux I used this oneliner: ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i <(find . -type f -name '*' -printf "file '$PWD/%p'\n" | sort) -c copy output.mkv (mkv accepts more codecs than mp4, but you could also try it with mp4). The -safe 0 is for recent ffmpeg versions complaining about Unsafe file name, and the -type f is for only listing files. I added | sort to sort the files alphabetically; because find reads them in order as saved on filesystem. Works also for files with whitespaces.

You can also just do ls * | perl -ne 'print "file $_"' | ffmpeg -f concat -i - -c copy Movie_Joined.mp4 if your files are well-named and in order. Worked great for me on OS X, exactly what I wanted.

With proper escaping for files containing whitespace:ls Movie_Part_1.mp4 Movie_Part_2.mp4 | perl -ne '$_ =~ s/\n$//; print "file '"'"'$_'"'"'\n"' | ffmpeg -f concat -i - -c copy Movie_Joined.mp4
