Does anyone here know much about #ffmpeg ?
@loki Little bit. What's up?
@literorrery Everything I search says to use something along the lines of:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -ss 00:05:10 -t 90 output.mkv
What's actually happening is weird because it cuts out all of the video before 5:10 just fine, but then it ALSO cuts out the next 90 seconds and what I'm left with is a few frames before 5:10 and then 90 seconds of the video AFTER 6:40
@loki So, I'm not at the "knows all the command-line switches" stage; I've worked with it as part of building a live transcoder for work but we only do streaming, so I've never tried to use it as a splicer.
That said, maybe you could do the trimming in stages? If you can reliably cut the first 5:10, do that on the first pass, save that to a new file, then come back and trim everything after on a second cut?
@literorrery that was what I was thinking
@literorrery I'm trying to extract a segment of video, but everything I search doesn't work.
I want to basically take the video between the times 00:05:10 and 00:06:40 and save it to a new file.
