Automatically combine multipart videos
Great for combinng dash cam / helment cam videos, beacause these cameras usually split videos in small parts.
Uses MEncoder - currently it is hardcoded for avi files.
Can be easily adapted to use ffmpeg for mp4.
Here I have 22 files from my dash cam, I want to group them by "trip".
The desired result are 4 files (trips).
