Merging mp4 files with Pathlib only

I just wanna know if this possible without using shutil to merge the files? but by using pathlib only.

my old code for merging files:

 def combine(source: str, output: str),
 
    with open(output, 'wb') as output_file:
        for file in iglob(os.path.join(source, "*.mp4")):
            print(f'Merging', file, end='\r')
            with open(file, 'rb') as input_file:
                shutil.copyfileobj(input_file, output_file)

This is what I tried with pathlib

def combine(source: str, output: str),

    for file in Path(source).glob('*.mp4'):
        print(f'Merging', file)
        Path(output).write_bytes(file.read_bytes())

The problem is, it's not appending the bytes and combining to output file.

You should only open the output file once and then write the bytes of each file you read.

def combine(source: str, output: str),
    print(f'Creating {output}')
    with open(Path(output), 'wb') as outfile:    

        for file in Path(source).glob('*.mp4'):
            print(f'Appending {file}')
            outfile.write(file.read_bytes())
