What is this word "defragment" though. That's used about disks but this is a first. Tell more.

I have several folders with numerous .vob files in them. Each folder contains about 15 .vob files. I need to convert the format of the files in the folders from .vob to .swf. I also need to defragment the .vob files into one .swf file. So, I need: 1) format conversion, and 2) file defragmentation. Please tell me how to do it.

I used the word "defragmented" to mean "in pieces." I have several folders which each contain about 10 .vob files that came to me on a disc from an older video camera. When put together in sequence, they make one video about 30 minutes long. Each .vob fragment in the folder is 39.6 MB. I run a website for a church and the videos are of Sunday sermons. The web host requires that the videos be posted in .swf format. My problem is that the video recorder is quite old and the formats don't match the web host's format. So, each folder has several files. Each file needs to be converted to .swf, and all of the small files need to be combined into one .swf file to then be uploaded onto the website. I have a video converter that changes the format ok, but the converted files are still fragmented. I need to somehow combine all the converted .swf frags into one file. That's my problem. Any ideas or solutions?
Did you try the usual concatenation method? No added software is required.
Open the command line and here's a web page on that.

The second step is optional since we are going to convert it to SWF later.
