Stitching .mpg files together

Does anyone know of a quick way to stitch .mpg files together?
In Win98 I used to be able to stitch multiple .mpg files into one file with
the command:
"copy /b clip01.mpg + clip02.mpg + clip03...... whole.mpg" for example.
But why can't I do that in Win2000? It created the "whole.mpg" file but it
chokes after the first stitched file.
This is very helpful because my digital camera can only record 30 second
..mpg clips.

I was able to stitch a group on a W98 machine but when I try to play the
resulting file on a W2K, it gets stuck after the 1st portion.

Does the NTFS file system obstruct this for some reason?

Thanks for your input
 
Well using the command in a .bat file makes things so quick and easy. Done
in seconds. So I would really really figure out how to do that in W2K.
 
Sounds like the software that is actually reading/playing them is
getting the clip length info from the header and ignoring the "actual"
file length. That's the reason we "get away with" a lot of things on
computers and then it "mysteriously breaks" when we change software or
operating systems. Standards are there to provide compatability.
