## SCRIPT: vjM2_multi-mpg-files_JOIN_mpgtx-force-j_PRELIM.sh
##
## PURPOSE: Uses 'mpgtx' to merge multiple '.mpg' movie files.
##
## METHOD:  In a 'for' loop, puts the selected movie filenames in a string
##          --- space-separated and each filename in double-quotes.
##
##          Passes the string of movie filenames to the command
##          'eval mpgtx --force -j'.
##
##          Puts the messages from 'mpgtx' into a text file and shows
##          the text file with a text-file viewer of the user's choice.
##
##          Shows the merged file in a movie player.
##
## REFERENCEs:
##         http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-85718.html
##         shows an example using 'mpgtx':
##
##         mpgtx -j file01.mpg file02.mpg -o output_name.mpg
##
## Alternatively,
##        do a web search on keywords such as
##              'mpgtx mpg multiple files (join|merge)'
##
##
## HOW TO USE: In Nautilus, select one or more '.mpg' movie files (of the same
##             video-audio encoding. (Can use the Ctl or Shift
##             keys to select multiple files.)
##             Then right-click and choose this VIDEOtools script to run
##             (name above).
