When cutting a long video from the command-line using ffmpeg, seeking takes minutes. Since one rarely gets the cut-points 100% correct the first time, it does take minutes every time you try again with adjusted values.
Can't ffmpeg simply keep a small cache (in tmp) providing it with the entry points? Just take the filename, size and time stamps. If the file is unchanged, the next seeking (for cuts) to a similar region should only take a split-second. There could be an option for this. If so, I suggest it should be on by default. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
