Can I combine .MOV Files?

Greetings! I have about 126 .mov files that are tutorial video files for Rhino3d. Thing is they're only about a minute each in length. I'd like to be able to combine the file into one long movie tutorial. Is there a quick fix for this without having to resort to a Movie Editor?

Thanks for the help!

Cheers!

iMovie would convert the files at import (in most cases) and convert again at export.
QuickTime Player Pro is copy/paste simple and would only take a few minutes.
But the limit is 99 "tracks" (audio, video or text) so you would need to join 49 files together, repeat and then the last group of files.
To make these 98 track video into two track video would require an export. Use the same settings found in the source files and export. Repeat for the other two files and then join the 3 together to make a 6 track file. Then "Save As", give the file a new name and then delete all of the source files (to save some disk space).

In most case -- in which cases not?

In this case, would QTPP export the original quality without re-encoding?

Thanks!
