Best way to stitch two movies together?

[ravenvii]

I have a movie that spans two DVDs. I've already ripped them and converted them to mp4s with the MactheRipper-HandBrake combo. But I now have two mp4 files for one movie. I'd like to stitch them together to make one mp4 file.

I am aware that iMovie can do this, but I don't think iMovie keeps the aspect ratio?

I heard QuickTime Pro can do this as well (and keep the aspect ratio), but I don't want to pony up for it.

VisualHub will do it but they would have to be ripped at a constant bitrate, not "standard quality" "high quality" etc

VisualHub isn't free, though... and it seems to compress the already-compress files further before stitching them together? (That's how it seems to me in the "2-minute conversion demo")

MPEG Streamclip (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/24055) will do this.

Interestingly enough Quicktime Player (non pro) can do it, but lacks the interface to run the commands. Its Applescript dictionary however does have the commands.

Wow, I know next to nothing about AppleScript, can you be kind enough to whip up a script I can use?

How do you do this using MPEG Streamclip?

Imovie will do it for you...I did that with Blind Date, I got from a website, in 4 sections, put it together in Imovie..worked perfectly

I have tried both deauthorize and authorize. Its still dosent work. I did get 1 song but it replaces one that I purchase what it does it replace the Song thru aphabetical order, the one that i purchase work but like i said it replaces the ringtones when you try syncing it. I currently have 3 ringtones that I purchase and when try to sync my custom ringtones with it just replace it if its a higher order of the aphabetical title of the ringtone. Thanks for the suggestion. I might reiinstall my iTunes to version 9.0.2 see if that works. I think apple really restricts the syncing capability for iphones.
