Key notes
VLCis one of the most flexible media players for Windows. With its command-line video merge tool, that media player enables users to merge multiple videos into one clip.
TheMerge videos together pageon VLC’s support site includes guidelines for how to merge videos with VLC.
However, VLC’s merge videos feature won’t work if the source files for the merged video aren’t of the same format and if any of them have portrait orientations (such as clips recorded with mobiles).
Furthermore, VLC’s video merging might not work for users who need to update thatmedia player’s codecs.
What can I do if the VLC video merge option is not working?
1. Change portrait source videos to landscape ones
Save the rotated video
2. Update VLC’s video codec
