I am working on a media project that contains little clips from movies and I wonder if there any way to avoid downloading all of the data instead only the specified parts of the movies?

This should be pretty trivial, but I can't find a way to get it to work.  I want FFmpeg to take one JPEG image and an audio file as input and generate a video file of the same duration as the audio file (by stretching the still image for the whole duration).  I don't care very much about what video codec is used for output, but it is vital that I can use "copy" as the audio codec (i.e. copy the audio stream without transcoding it).  What is the right command line that would do that?  I tried:  ffmpeg -i image8.jpg -i sound11.amr -acodec copy test.avi   and tried a lot of combinations with and without -s 640x360, -loop_input, -shortest, -t xxx, -r 0.1 (artificially low frame rate in the hope that the video would be longer) and -f image2  Either I get errors or I get a video file of the duration of one frame.  I've googled around and found a dozen of proposed solutions (supposedly to this very same question) none of which works.  Can anybody suggest a working command and explain the rationale behind it?

I am using ffmpeg to cut out a section of a large file like this: ffmpeg -i input.wmv -ss 60 -t 60 -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.wmv  The -ss part works fine but the -t is ignored. It correctly removes the initial specified seconds specified with -ss but then keeps going to the end of the input with the copy. Is there a way to use ffmpeg to cut off the end of a video without recoding it?

I have been struggling with .mp4's for about 2 days now, trying to concatenate a series of about 20 into 1 single file. Any differences between the files and it is a nightmare. Some files have different fps, and others different ratios.  I wanted to know if mp4 is the format I should be using, or if there is a better, easy to use format for concatenation. Time isn't an issue, I simply need a relatively high-quality format that concatenates under most circumstances.  If this doesn't exist, any suggestions on how to deal with massively varying properties of mp4 files (I'm not entirely sure of what can differ aside from fps and ratio between videos that may cause a problem) would be great.  I am using ffmpeg to try and concatenate the files. First I tried to use the demuxer, and then the concat filter, however I find the concat filter very daunting and am completely at a loss as to how to use it.  Each video has audio, some have still images while others have moving.

I need to crop images often - photos, printscreens, etc., and loading gimp for such a simple task takes way too long. Can you recommend a faster alternative?

I am currently backing up (ripping) my dvd collection onto my server harddrive, to allow streaming throughout my house. I am using Acidrip to do the ripping. My problem is that the quality video of the rip is not as good as I would like, and the file size is a little too big. I downloaded an .avi rip of the blu-ray movie "black hawk down" the other day, and the quality was very good. I believe it was a 720p rip. But the file size was only 700mb. When I rip regular dvd's I choose a high bitrate (around.22) but my file sizes are anywhere from 1000mb to 1200mb, and the quality is nowhere near as good. How can i use acid rip to rip a high quality video at a 700mb file size? Is there better software, or is there something I'm missing in Acidrip?

My Canon 60D creates .MOV files when recording video and I've found out that the .MOV container has an H264 video stream and a PCM audio stream.    I've used ffmpeg and GSpot to look at some of my videos, and I see what seem to be pretty high bitrates (22,000kbps for 640x480, 45,000 for 1920x1080).  I'd like to reduce the size of the files, but keep the quality quite high.  I've played around with the simplest thing I could think of, reducing the bit rate and that does what I'd expect: cut the bitrate in half and the file size is about half.  But I'm wondering if there's a way to determine a "good" target bitrate, or if there's any point in trying to do variable bitrate.
