I have tried in various ways to limit the output of ffmpeg/ffprobe to the line
holding the duration but it seems impossible...
Beware!
Depending on the source of a recording, I've found that various methods will
report different values* for the duration, occasionally I've found some to
be just plane wrong (below). It also appears that some formats tend to have
more accurate durations than others, this is not a format problem per se,
it's how people encode to that.
*from container metadata and from each stream, or calculated from a frame
count and rate, for example-
Input #0, mpeg, from 'DonovansReef/DonovansReef.vob':
Duration: 00:06:30.42, start: 0.187978, bitrate: 87549 kb/s
and MediaInfo reporting-
General/Duration : 6 min 30 s
Video/Duration : 346 ms
Audio/Duration : 6 min 30 s
(should be about 1:49:xx)
vob files, especially those with 3:2 pulldown, seem bad for this.
This may not be an issue for Bo, but could be for someone else finding this
thread.
Later,
z!
