For such files you have to use this parameter and increase the size to 3 or
\fBmkvmerge\fR will abort with an error.

\fB\-\-append\-mode\fR <\fImode\fR>
Determines how timecodes are calculated when appending files.
The parameter \fImode\fR can have two values: \fIfile\fR which is also
the default and \fItrack\fR.
.br
When mkvmerge appends a track (called \fItrack2_1\fR from now on) from
a second file (called \fIfile2\fR) to a track (called \fItrack1_1\fR)
from the first file (called \fIfile1\fR) then it has to offset all
timecodes for \fItrack2_1\fR by an amount. For \fIfile\fR mode this
amount is the highest timecode encountered in \fIfile1\fR even if that
timecode was from a different track than \fItrack1_1\fR. In
\fRtrack\fR mode the offset is the highest timecode of \fItrack1_1\fR.
.br
Unfortunately mkvmerge cannot detect which mode to use
reliably. Therefore it defaults \fIfile\fR mode. \fIfile\fR mode
usually works better for files that have been created independently of
each other; e.g. when appending AVI or MP4 files. \fItrack\fR mode may
work better for sources that are essentially just parts of one big
file, e.g. for VOB and EVO files.
.br
Subtitle tracks are always treated as if \fIfile\fR mode were active
even if \fItrack\fR mode actually is.
.TP
\fB\-\-append\-to\fR <\fISFID1:STID1:DFID1:DTID1\fR[,...]>
This option controls to which track another track is appended.
Each spec contains four IDs: a file ID, a track ID, another file ID and
