Hi all,

This is my first time to edit a video, or want to edit a video.
I just downloaded a video from YT and I wanted to have only a specific portion of this video so I googled for few min and I found this command which I used:
After I am done I found that the newly created edited video "edited-video1.flv" starts from 00:10:01 but goes on to the end of the file.
I have then to use the command again like this
to be able to cut the video at the time I want.

So my questions are:
1- What's wrong with the first command and why it does not stop at the designated time I specified?
2- I there an alternative command (or an option) that would set the starting time and time duration, instead?

Thanks in advance

If I look at both ffmpeg commands it looks like you want to cut out the part that starts at 00:10.01 and ends at 00:20:15. The -t flags takes the duration, not the elapsed time from the beginning of the movie (end-time - start-time = duration = -t).

I do believe you are looking for something like this:Start recording at 00:10.01 and end recording 00:10.14 later.

mencoder can do the same thing, but it also works with a start-time and a duration and not a start-time and end-time.

I think the time you are using 20:15 is the total time of the video capturing. Just add the time duration for cutting that is 10:14.
I think this will work.

you can use Video Cutter instead to that, you can set the time by both from mouse or by adding time duration

Thank you so much "druuna" and PeterSullivan
I really appreciate your help.

I will check these "new" commands and come back to mark my post as "Solved".

Yes!
This command worked flawlessly
Where the number (time) after the -t flag is the "duration" not the end time.

Thank you both so much
