[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] ffmpeg: warn when -t is used for inputs.

[Nicolas George]

Using -t on an input already have surprising results.
Furthermore, using it on an input or an output makes
a real difference if there are speed-altering filters.

Implementing -t for inputs will probably result in some
behavour changes.
