cat oddity?

[Daniel Hazelbaker]

Since ffmpegX is just the front-end, all the functionality is  
available from the command-line as well.  Look in /Applications/ 
ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/ and /Library/Application Support/ 
ffmpegX/

Which command does the joining I am not sure, but I am sure it is  
there somewhere...
