For the past year or so, I've been playing my video files through the PS3 courtesy of a 2TB hard drive connected to it locally via USB. Therefore the hard drive is in FAT32 format and the files are split in to 4GB parts when applicable.

More recently Ive been experimenting in streaming media from my hard drive connected to the PC, through an ethernet and in to the PS3 - courtesy of ps3mediaserver.

I like this so much I'm sticking with it. The issue I need help with is, is that all of my video files are now split in to chunks, for example: Action Movie.part1.m2ts, Action Movie.part2.m2ts, Action Movie.part 3.m2ts etc. I'd now much prefer to stream them in one complete movie. Most are m2ts files plus the odd mpg file. How could I go about adding them back into a MKV container and join the parts back up - ultimately having something like "Action Movie.mkv"?

I assume this process would be lossless also, if MKV is just a container?

EDIT: I need to add, it doesnt necessarily need to be MKV format. How about a simple m2ts/mpg joining software?

I'm sure you can just do a binary copy.

copy /b <filename1> + <filename2> + <filename3> <newfile>

or

copy /b *.m2ts <newfile>
