I would suggest you use RAWMagic and when you have a sequence of files that need to be joined you select them all and drag them all in together and it will convert them.
EDIT: Sorry I didn't really read the post fully but. I would still say use RAWMagic!
I didn't have any problems joining the files using the CAT command. I also used the drag and drop method and it worked fine. So I am not sure exactly where you are going wrong.

Its ok mate thanks for the reply,
Yeah i like RAW2DNG so i can have a ProRess back up without having to do anything to the DNG's and wait for them to convert.

Could i be cheeky and ask for a copy and paste of what you put for a succesful merge so i can copy (file names would need changing im sure as mine are different)
If i dont reply and say thank you im out but i will back to say thank you :)

OK
like this:
cat (then drag the first *.RAW file into the terminal) (now drag the next one *.R00) then add the '>' (and I think where you are going wrong is the output file)
drag a file from the destination folder (if you don't have one just make a destination folder and add ANY file) into the teminal window then edit the destination file name so it fits in with your naming conventions!
(the reason I am saying just drag ANY file into the destination folder is so you get the full path of the destination file correct)
here is an example of this process that I just did and it did indeed work by using the following method:
cat /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100EOS5D/M07-1209.RAW /Volumes/EOS_DIGITAL/DCIM/100EOS5D/M07-1209.R00 > /Volumes/Storage/Media/Movies/RAW-DNG/06-07-2013/JOINED.RAW
I am pretty sure that it's the ouput path that you screwed up with. As long as you give it a valid output path and corresponding file name it will be fine
You my friend are a legend! if you lived near me id be feeding you all the beer you wanted hahaha!
THANK YOU!! going to make sure i copy and paste the command and save it as a text file, again thank you very much!! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D
That cheers me up lots ;D. What cheers me up is that you acknowledge the help!! (and of course you sorted the problem out too and that's what is really good ;)).
I'm glad it worked :). To be honest you hadn't really gone far wrong. So you were 99% there anyway ;) :D
YAY! ;D ;D ;D 8) ;) ::)

I appreciate all the help mate and i try and do my best back, i dont see the point in posting a sarcastic comment, not all people are computer wizards, i know my way around things but im human and make mistakes and answer's like yours mean alot.
I see where i had gone wrong now, and now i feel stupid BUT i know now and thats the main thing! i can now edit the video!
Again, thank you ;D
