This Python script creates a simple UI for concatenating video files from a SD card to a single mp4 file ordered by date. It also automatically creates a backup of it on an external drive and is able to delete all files from the SD card afterwards. It is designed for inexperienced home video filmers who just want to merge and save their clips once a month. On screen messages are in german!
