Ask LH: How Can I Merge Multiple Video Files?

Dear Lifehacker, I was hoping you could help me with a problem I’ve had for a little while now. I have a couple of movies and video files (your standard .AVI, .MP4, .MKV) that are split into two separate files. Obviously doing so makes the files easier to transport, but it plays havoc with my media library, and I’d love a quick and easy way to merge the files into one. I’m using a Mac, I’ve been looking for ages, but surely there’s a free option to do this, right? Thanks, Splitting Up
