mkdir ./DO
4. Put all your Video files in ./DO folder, pass the file extension as the first parameter and desirable speed rate as the second input and Run it:

• ./DashCamPipeline.sh mp4 1
  to just simply remove the audio and concatenate all videos with mp4 format
• ./DashCamPipeline.sh mp4 5
  to remove the audio and speed up (5X) and concatenate all videos with mp4 format
• ./DashCamPipeline.sh avi 5
  to remove the audio and speed up (5X) and concatenate all videos with avi format
• ./DashCamPipeline.sh avi 5 60
  to remove the audio and speed up (5X) and original FrameRate is 60 fps and concatenate all videos with avi format
• ./DashCamPipeline.sh
  to remove the audio and speed up (4X) and assume videos are 30fps and concatenate all videos with mp4 format – Default

Enjoy your output file in /Final folder.
