[ogg-dev] oggz-merge / oggJoin with files created with oggCat

I think, I got the problem:

When I re-encode both audio files with the same quality/bitrate, oggCat/oggJoin works as expected.

The reason, that it does not work, is as follows: I had a lot of trouble concatenate the audio-files (as I was starting with video only). In many cases, the concatenation works even if the bitrate does not correspond (correct me if I am wrong). In some cases (ffmepg) the bitrate is not given in the ogg-header. Therefor I ignore the failing bitrate-test. The test is actually only done for channels and sample rate. 

In your case this does not work. So what you need to do is: re-encode the ogg/vorbis files to the same bitrate.

oggz-validate does not complain about the problem as it is the layer above (vorbis), that fails.  


Hope that helps!
