I see. You're right, then this technique is probably a dead-end... More generally, which is the recommanded way to cut a video with a specific starting point and specific length, with minimal re-encoding? Millions of hours of CPU-time are probably wasted to reencode already-perfectly-encoded content, just for cutting ;) Are there already promising dev attempts in the direction of a feature able to cut with minimal re-encoding? _______________________________________________ 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".
