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.
