Pls help.

Pls help.

If the files are FLV you can try Andys_FLV_Joiner
Some YouTube HQ clips (AVC/H264) may be MP4 rather than FLV format. Use a program like Avidemux to join MP4 format files.
Try and join similar file types. i.e. same codec, resolution, and fps, otherwise the joined file will revert to the first file's properties with unpredictable playback results.
