Well, I tried to go to sleep and come back to this tomorrow.  I couldn't 
sleep so here I am again.  While laying there I came up with a idea.  I 
stitched the first two videos together into a temporary file.  Then I 
stitched the temporary file to the 3rd video.  The sound is off but it 
sort of resets when it reached the stitch point so it is a good bit 
closer than it was.

If I ever get me a video camera, I'm going to know to not break up 
videos if I ever plan to put them back together again.  It appears that 
when you break the video, it is like humpty dumpty.  You just can't 
quite get it back together again.

At least this way is faster tho.  Thanks to all for the ideas.  I'm 
still testing things.
