This tutorial will help you joining two or more video clips in one video using media handler pro in your asp.net, c# and vb.net application.
Media Handler Pro support the following ways to join video clips in one video file.
- Fast joining if all video clips in .mpg format and output is also in .mpg format.
- Join two or more different format video clips, join and output in any video format. e.g video clips like sample_01.mp4, sample_02.wmv, sample_03.mpg and final output like sample_full.avi.

C# Sample Code
Sample c# code that uses Media Handler Pro component for joining two or more clips and encoding final output in any specified format.
MediaHandler _mhandler = new MediaHandler();
string RootPath = Server.MapPath(Request.ApplicationPath);
_mhandler.FFMPEGPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~\\ffmpeg1371\\ffmpeg.exe");
_mhandler.InputPath = RootPath + "\\contents\\videoclips";
_mhandler.OutputPath = RootPath + "\\contents\\finalvideos";
// Pass two or more video clip names through FileNames property.
_mhandler.FileNames = new string[] { "sample_01.mp4", "sample_02.mp4" };
// Set final output filename through OutputFileName property, it may be without extension.
_mhandler.OutputFileName = "full_video";
// Set final output extension e.g ".avi" will force output in .avi format.
_mhandler.OutputExtension = ".avi";
// Set width and height of final output.
_mhandler.Width = 320;
_mhandler.Height = 240;
// Set all settings that is required for encoding final output. e.g in case of .avi we set TargetFileType.
_mhandler.TargetFileType = "pal-vcd";
// Call join video function to process all settings and create output media.
VideoInfo info = _mhandler.Join_Videos();
