New submission from CBee <[email protected]>: The -fs option is to specify the file-size. Currently it just chops at the given size in bytes and then halts.
It would be nice if the processing continues to a next file if the '%d', '%3d' or '%03d' is in the file, just as with splitting a movie to separate pictures. See "ffmpeg -i foo.avi -r 1 -s WxH -f image2 foo-%03d.jpeg" from `man ffmpeg`. For the continuity of the resulting files, it might be necessary to find a reasonable split point just before the filesize is reached. Hence, not split half way a picture but at the last full gop or whatever the format specifies. Currently I like this to split films to within 2 GB filesize, as my media-player cannot coop with larger files. Other usage can include continuous webcam capture. For this, if '%02d' is used, then the number is copped at 2 positions: after "99" continue with "00", "01" and so on. With %03d around 998, 999, 000, 001... ---------- messages: 13112 priority: normal status: new substatus: new title: Use -fs option to create a sequence of files. type: feature_request ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2462> ________________________________________________
