[FFmpeg-user] Hello, I want to ask about sending very long argument into ffmpeg command line.

[김민성]

Ok, let me explain in details.
 
I have to split one video into large amount(usually more than 1000) of segments and reassemble segments into one video. 
Suppose I try split only, then command will be like
 
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:01:00 -sn test_split001.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:02:00 -sn test_split002.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:02:00 -t 00:13:50 -sn test_split003.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:13:50 -t 00:19:27 -sn test_split004.mp4 ...
Currently I am sending just one command per extraction to the kernel, because kernel doesn't accept if given command is too long. 
Since I am making too many segments, efficiency is way too low.
 
This is why I asked you about modifying main(generating command arguments inside of main function). Did my answer cleared your question?
 
Thanks for reading this,
Minsung Kim

What are the “very long arguments”? If most of it’s a filter chain you can separate that into a file.
