[gentoo-user] Video editing advice on formats and size of file

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Howdy,

I been trying to get this to work right for a goooooood while now.  I'm 
confused here.  I have some videos that I download that are split up.  
Some have two or three parts and a few 4 or 5.  What I can't get is 
this, I can't seem to take say two 250Mb videos and make it come 
anywhere near 500Mbs when spliced together.  They usually end up being 
1.5Gb and sometimes much more.  I use Kdenlive to do this with.  I have 
tried every setting that I can find.  I have used exiftool to try to 
match the encoding and rates and all that with no improvement or very 
little improvement.

Is there some secret spice that I am missing or something?  Why can't I 
take two videos and splice them together and it be something close to 
the two file sizes added together?  I'm not asking for a perfect fit but 
at least something close.  If I can get 2 250Mb videos to splice 
together and be 600Mbs, that would be good enough.

Thanks.

Dale
