When the encoding takes a very long time (> 2 hours), I often will stop it (^z), syn the FS, suspend the computer to disk (s2d), and that will power it off. Now /SOMETIMES/ when I resume, the computer decides to boot as if it was NOT suspended to disk. This leaves the ffmpeg encode partially done.
So, instead of restarting from the very beginning, is there a way to resume the encode based on the size of the output file? I mean that ffmpeg should be able to know the time offset of the very last frame encoded. Is this true? If true, then ffmpeg should be able to continue from the source video file by starting at the frame (based on the frame's time offset) that follows the last frame encoded. I am not an audio video guru. I am just thinking out loud to try to clarify my question. Thanx for any help in this. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
