This video will show you how to fix the red text error message 'Invalid Argument' when trying to concatenate, merge or combine different video clips together into one main video file using FFMpeg (this results in an incomplete video file being produced). The easiest method to do this is to re-encode ALL of your video clips so that they are uniform in codec, container, bitrate, resolution, framerate, etc. before attempting a FFMpeg concatenate operation.
