Note that in most formats it is not possible to seek exactly, so ffmpegwill seek to the closest seek point before position. When used as an input option (before -i), seeks in this input file to position.

I did find this interesting on the ffmpeg link:

I have no experience with ffmpeg or other command line tools, but I believe any tool that does not involve transcoding will behave exactly the same way (or will be prone to serious errors).įfmpeg works perfectly and fast. Mkvmerge -o outputfile.mkv -split 257s inputfile.mkvĪnd since no transcoding is involved, the splitting occurs at KeyFrames (after the specified time), which means the splitting point will usually be a few seconds/milliseconds 'Off' from what you originally specified.

mkv files, I prefer mkvmerge gui (apt-get install mkvtoolnix-gui), although you can also use "mkvmerge" command. BUT VLC didn't start showing the timer again until the exact same time that ffmpeg cut?! In other words, the video started say 253 seconds from the orignal, but VLC didn't start showing the timer again until 257 seconds.įor splitting. Using VLC again to view by edited out file, it left several seconds on from where I wanted it. ffmpeg -ss 257 -i infile.m4v -acodec copy -vcodec copy outfile.mkv I found my mkv file I needed to edit out was from the start to 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Hopefully I don't have to start a new topic, since the players already answering questions may have a solution at hand.Īlso thanks for the tips both of you and others have provided. Since this topic is marked solved, I'd like to add a strange behavior I encountered. Now the binary will be executed by simply entering "ffmpeg" in your console. If you want to include it into your PATH (I haven't tested this in a recent Ubuntu):

The commands I provided earlier in this thread should download the latest build and extract the archive. The 12 is how many seconds in to start grabbing the video.The 120 is how many seconds in to stop grabbing video.

I open a terminal in the folder the video is in.Then i use this ffmpeg code to cut and copy part of the video. Ffmpeg -ss 00:00:12.00 -i input.foo -acodec copy -vcodec copy -t 120 output.foo
