I have direct-downloaded a series of video files that together form one cohesive movie, but i can't figure out how to lump them together. I've looked up video-merging tools online, but can't quite seem to find anything that's towards this point

There are two problems:

1: The "chunks" of file aren't given in a normal file extension, but close to it, eg the first chunk is called "moviename.mp4.001, moviename.mp4.002" etc.

2: Right-clicking on the file, and going under properties, i can manually change the extension to just mp4, but then the file that comes out is a little wierd. When i load it to play, it shows the whole 1:00:00 of movie, but only the first 8:45 is actually there, when the player goes past that point, it just stops, but there's over 50 minutes of undisplayable content there

Anybody know how i go about merging these files into a cohesive unit?

On a Unix-based machine, I've sometimes had luck just using cat to splice the files together.

On Windows, I think HJSplit might do the trick here:

Ahh, i figured there had to be a specific application for this, and not one of the dozens of regular video joiners (or something normal like Windows Movie Maker)

Thank you.
