I had the same problem a while ago.
After some googling I ended up with the following solution:
$: mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -idx -o out.avi in1.flv in2.flv
in3.flv etc...
I used it to join some 12 .flv files into one single .avi file of
approx. the same size as all twelve added up. As I understood it well,
mencoder cannot output .flv format (but a lot of other formats
indeed).
For me there was no reason to convert the out.avi to out.flv, using
ffmpeg, as it only results in poorer quality. Besides that, I found
ffmpeg deleting some frames while converting. So I stuck with the
.avi file. I use ffplay on the command line to watch the .avi video
(ffplay is part of the ffmpeg package):
$: ffplay -x 640 -y 480 out.avi
If you ensist on having a .flv file, you can use ffmpeg like this:
$: ffmpeg -i out.avi -sameq out.flv
