I don’t know that you can join split multimedia files with cat and get a
desirable result. I haven’t done that before because I wouldn’t have
imagined doing that and a simple Google turns up all sorts of supporting
evidence the pieces won’t be joined smoothly (my guess is that it’s
running the individual pieces sequentially and not re-compiling as a
single file. This is particularly important with multimedia because the
buffer needs to be filled with content in preparation for displaying).
So, what is the problem you’re having?
Are you downloading and following the instructions from the software
vendor?
Or, I my personal preference is to choose the type of format I intend
to re-compile (eg Xvid, DivX, WMV, etc) and use those tools, it makes
for fewer steps and usually a better result.
As long as you are using split and cat for splitting and joining for
transport, the result will be bit-identical at the other end and so
won’t be an issue whatever the format. You can do the same thing with
ISO images too.

I can agree with that… which of course assumes that you <know> the
origins of the split files and that each file isn’t individually
playable (only playable as a single large file).
