Handy little script to concatenate video files. Probably wouldn't recommend it with dissimilar files, though.

Had an annoying bug that didn't seem to show up on google... so maybe this will resolve some issues.
I have a makefile where a build is attempted, but because the build tool is buggy, sometimes it fails for no reason. So I invoke it with a timeout, then test to see if it errored out, and if so I rerun the build. The error code in bash is
$?; but inside of a makefile the
$ needs to be escaped, so I write
.
However, if you need to stick this into a makefile
#define block, you need to escape the escaped
$. If you don't, you'll get this error:
-ne: unary operator expected. So you'll have to do this:
in order to escape things properly.
I had an issue where a video file had embedded (soft) subtitles with an error, and I wanted to edit the subtitles. Since it's just a stream in the file, it's really easy - at least for an mkv container.
All you need to do is extract the subtitles, edit them in your editor of choice, then add the stream back in. Previously, I removed the subtitle stream from the file entirely then added the edited one back; the updated version simply uses the video and audio from the original file, and the subtitles from the edited srt file, to make the new video output.
