1.) You only have to handle one file - what many proggies do. If you
have several files, you need scripts -> Lack's with automation.

2.) Syncing problems by A/V-differences. Many programs - like Mplayer -
can't handle file-switching with PES correctly. So you have nice flashes
and distortions when switching to next file ...

4.) Additionally concatenations need performance (taking a VDR-recording
on Air as file with Apache works fluently, but when using a script with
"cat" you get a nice photo-show - but no fluent film anymore!
