Originally created by @gdeward on GitHub (Feb 16, 2016).

What is the easiest way to merge all of the downloaded videos into one single video file with chapters? Would there be a max size (duration) for the video? I'm currently pulling down Pluralsight courses and would like to use the name of each file for the chapters. The goal would be to include the video in iTunes and be able to skip backwards or forwards by chapter.

Understood. I was hoping one of the youtube-dl gurus knew of a method.

you can use ffmpeg for that like i do here:

treaki@debian7:~/Videos/rick_and_morty$ #first of all i create a list of all files to be concatenated...
treaki@debian7:~/Videos/rick_and_morty$ ls Rick\ and\ Morty\ -\ Close\ Rick-Counters\ of\ the\ Rick\ Kind\ Part* > ick\ and\ Morty\ -\ Close\ Rick-Counters\ of\ the\ Rick\ Kind\ Parts.txt
treaki@debian7:~/Videos/rick_and_morty$ #than i modify it with a text editor to look like this:
treaki@debian7:~/Videos/rick_and_morty$ cat Rick\ and\ Morty\ -\ Close\ Rick-Counters\ of\ the\ Rick\ Kind\ Parts.txt
