[MPlayer-users] How to extract a section of a video starting between keyframes??

[Abel Campos]

Hi.I hava an AVI big file, and I want to extract a small section from it.
This is the command i use to extract 5 seconds (25 fps) starting at 264
secs:

$ mencoder "C:\Temp\OutputFIle.avi" -o SourceFIle.avi -ss 264 -frames 125
-oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800  -mc 0

The problem is that the output file starts at 270 secs of the source file,
instead at 264. The same result is obtained if I set the -ss option to 262,
263, 264, etc.
I think the problem is the ouput file starts at the next keyframe found in
the source file from the position I want.

Is there any way to start the extraction at the position wanted exactly???

Thank you very much.
