You could use mencoder (part of mplayer): |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
mencoder -ss 1:10 -endpos 1:10:00 -oac copy ovc copy -of avi -o\ |
| 11 |
truncated.avi original.avi |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Explanation: |
| 14 |
-ss 1:10 skip the first 1 minute and 10 seconds |
| 15 |
-endpos 1:10:00 finish at file position 1 hour and 10 minutes (so the |
| 16 |
truncated video would be 1:08:50 long) |
| 17 |
-oac copy do not transcode the audio |
| 18 |
-ovc copy do not transcode the video |
| 19 |
-of avi write everything into an avi-container |
| 20 |
-o truncated.avi output file |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Warning: This simple example doesn't handle additional streams like a |
| 23 |
second audio or subtitles. Please refer to mencoder's man-page for |
| 24 |
additional options, or ask here ;) |

Hope this helps |
