How do you link two parts of a movie together?

I downloaded the fast and the furious for the MediaPlayer playback, it came in two huge files, how can I join them together to get continuous playback? Thanks.

How can I join several MPEG files into a single continuous file?
Make sure all the MPEG files you want to combine are in the same directory. Open MSDOS and change directories to the one that contains those MPEGs. Use the following command:
copy /b file001.mpg + file002.mpg + file003.mpg combined.mpg
where /b refers to binary data and combined.mpg (after a space), refers to the title of the *finished* joined movie. This will combine your MPEGs into a seamless sequence in the order that you list them in your copy command. The combined MPEG file is created in that same folder.

Downloaded these instructions from somewhere, sorry I can't remember where.
I've used it before and it works.
