Some files like mpg's you can just cat together and pipe to files then 
run through ffmpeg.  Merging files of different and various types can be 
done with ffmpeg -i.  I've had occasional troubles with ffmpeg choking 
on certain files then having to turn to mencoder or vice versa.  
mencoder is more powerful than ffmpeg in general which means ffmpeg is 
easier to learn.  If you prefer more of a gui approach, avidemux2 is a 
good app.
