concat demuxer doesn't accept CR as line separators

Description

The concat demuxer does not work correct. It creates a valid playable file but all files in the concat file are not added. Just the first file is copied.

Example:
A simple example to concat two small files (in the case two of the same files but it also does not work when you use different sources).

The used concatfile.txt :

file /Users/imac/Desktop/10secMov.mov
file /Users/imac/Desktop/10secMov.mov

The used FFmpeg command line:

ffmpeg -f concat -i /Users/imac/Desktop/concatfile.txt -codec copy -y /Users/imac/Desktop/Sample_Merged.mov

The resulting sample_merged.mov file is working BUT:

  • It has the file size of the first file (10secMov.mov)
  • The movie length is also the same as the first file (10secMov.mov)

Basically this means the concat hasn't been done. It just copied the video and audio streams of the first file.

BTW this also happens with the latest GIT version.

To be clear:
In this example the result should be a movie of 20 seconds and 2,6MB in size (read: twice the length and size of the two source files).
The result you now get is 10secs and 1.3MB

Type: defectenhancement

Your concat script has carriage returns instead of the normal line feeds to separate the lines; this is a quirk of obsolete macos software. Use an editor that separates lines with LF, or even CR-LF like windows software, and it should work.
