FileMerge allows you to select the changes you want to keep through a menu at the bottom-right that designates the favored document. By default, the right (as opposed to left) document is selected. Below the two separate documents is the final output that will result from the merge. Available for both Windows and Mac, it is the easiest video merger software freeware that is able to cut large videos into smaller ones and slice off the unnecessary parts of the video such as commercial ads, trailer and outtakes. Additionally, it enables users to combine several video files into one file in MP4 format at a very fast speed. Xcode FileMerge tool. Xcode graphically compares files and directories.

Funny, that - I just played with BBEdit's differences tool this weekend after updating to MOSX 10.2.4 (I had to restore my changes to the Apache config). I knew it was there and had used it before, but to manually apply or just to check changes. Pretty much the same - it snaps the windows side by side and has buttons to apply changes to the old or new files. Don't know if Apple's tool can compare whole folders tho. Of course, BBEdit isn't free, but if you already have it and do all your text editing with it, that's one less tool to worry about.

Yup, it can.
--AndyWow, I had no idea that BBEdit had a file comparison tool. So I checked it out, and it sucks. FileMerge.app is a much better tool, the graphic indication of changes makes everything work so easily.
guys!!! help!! i still cant find the location to download FILEMERGE. i have looked everywhere and on apple's developers site. can someone help me out with a link pretty pleeeeaaaassssee
This is a great tool for fixing the Apache conf issue that arose in teh last OS X update.
If you use emacs, give ediff a try. Colored highlighting of difference regions and the ability to update one file from the other. You can also compare 3 files. With undo.
Just to add more details:
Emacs lets you do diffs on regions, as opposed to just on files, so you can focus on areas of special interest and leave the confusion of the rest of the file untouched (this also implies that you can diff regions within the same file). It's also possible to refocus a diff marked section, or even explicitly choose to do a diff down to word level coloring, which is very handy.
- view differences of up to three files in seperate windows
- windows scroll synchronously in diff-mode
- hiding (folding) of equal lines
- easy copying of differences from one file to another
- invocation from within shell prompt
- can patch current file with existing diff file
:help diff
at vim prompt. Filemerge Mac
I've grown to really appreciate FileMerge for editing purposes. I help a friend with editing his story, and FileMerge helps me zone in on his precise changes between drafts of a story. Invaluable!

You're looking for xcode, an entire suite of development and utility tools. If you have the CD for the OS you're running, you'll find it in the 'optional installs' folder called simply 'xcode'
many many thanks monkeyboyone. much appreciated.
