Re: multiple mpgs

I wrote a quick and dirty script to join multiple files:

cd ~/mpg/temp
ls *.mpg > sedstart
sed 's/.mpg/.mpg \\/' sedstart > ./stubs/middle
cd stubs
cat front middle back > scr
cd ..
sh ./stubs/scr $1
rm sedstart
mv $1.* ~/mpg/$2

It builds a file that looks like this:

cat \
01.mpg \
02.mpg \
03.mpg \
04.mpg \
05.mpg \
06.mpg \
07.mpg \
08.mpg \
09.mpg \
10.mpg > $1.mpg


then runs it.
