Hi Peter, It's an interesting challenge and approach you've posed. I understand the interest in literally counting video frames, but for your purposes would simple math be just as reliable and much faster? Assuming files with fixed frame rates, where your frame rate and total time can be reported to the millisecond, I suspect (but haven't tested) you'll get the exact same frame count whether you use ffprobe or a simple calculation. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
