Like every single video editing software?
Or what do you mean by merging? For me that is e.g. playing one video after the other as one clip.

You may want to check ffmpeg : https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
It can be very useful, when doing stuff with video/audio files.

Here is somethig that seems helpful for that merging: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7333232/concatenate-two-mp4-files-using-ffmpeg

You can use mencoder to concatenate multiple video files to one file:

:

mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -idx -o output.avi video1.avi video2.avi video3.avi

So you want it to be graphical tool or why solutions above didn't work? I'm no video editor, but ffmpeg and mencoder are said(at least by some people) to be THE video editing tools for Linux. Even I have been able to do some neat stuff with ffmpeg.

But if gui is the thing here, maybe Openshot is what you are looking for:

Some crappy video I quickly found about joining two video files with openshot.

Codecs are going to be your biggest issue on nix, but alternatives for virtualdub mod should work. Just make sure you're doing a straight through and not re-encoding the file(s)
