FFMPEG Merge mp4 to mp4 batch

Hi sorry if this has already been asked but ive got intro.mp4 and over 1000 mp4 in another folder what i need is intro.mp4 to be added to every mp4 in folder im using ubuntu whats the best way to do this.

all the mp4 have the same encoding

ffmpeg -i intro.mp4 -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts intermediate1.ts

ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts intermediate2.ts

ffmpeg -i "concat:intermediate1.ts|intermediate2.ts" -c copy output.mp4

this command words for one at a time
this my attempt at batch but the var doesnt work

for f in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts "$f.ts"; done

this code works fine

 for i in *.mp4;  

do

test="concat:intro.mp4.ts|"${i%.*}".mp4.ts";

ffmpeg -i  "$test" -c copy anime2/"${i%.mp4}.mp4"; done

Got it working with these 2 commands did the whole batch in one script

 for f in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -c copy -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts "$f.ts"; done





     for i in *.mp4;  

    do

    test="concat:intro.mp4.ts|"${i%.*}".mp4.ts";

    ffmpeg -i  "$test" -c copy anime2/"${i%.mp4}.mp4"; done

thank you

Please show the output of ffprobe -v error -show_streams 1.mp4. I should have asked for that previously instead of the ffmpeg output.

The parameters must match so first you must conform the intro to match the other videos (or vice versa).

Use ffprobe to view differences:

ffprove -loglevel error -show_streams intro.mp4

ffprove -loglevel error -show_streams 1.mp4

Re-encode intro.mp4 to match 1.mp4:

ffmpeg -i intro.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]fps=500/21,scale=848:480:force_original_aspect_ratio=increase,crop=848:480,setsar=171/170[v]" -map "[v]" -map 0:a -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -c:a aac -ar 44100 intro_b.mp4

Now use the concat demuxer. Make a text file listing inputs to be concatenated:

file 'intro_b.mp4'

file '1.mp4'

Then concatenate:

ffmpeg -f concat -i input.txt -c copy output.mp4

@BenOwen You're encouraged to ask only one question per post on Stack Exchange. Yours is two questions in one: 1) how to concatenate arbitrary videos of different parameters (which this answer addresses), and 2) how to perform a batch operation. These are two very different questions. I may update this later to address both questions, but if not then I recommend editing your original question to only be about question #1, and make a new post regarding #2.
