Recipes

Remove audio

ffmpeg -i INPUT -vcodec copy -an OUTPUT

Extract N seconds starting at time T

ffmpeg -i INPUT -c copy -ss T -t N OUTPUT

  • T can be either a seconds count, or a timestamp i.e. 01:00:20.

Combine input files

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i INPUT -c copy OUTPUT

  • INPUT ought be a newline-delimited set of files, each prefaced with "file ".
