specified time. In one file I was using, -ss 10 would start at 10s, but -ss 10.5 would start at 20s. Especially annoying as I was trying to chop the beginning 11s in mencoder. Does anyone know of some way to start the encoding at a given frameno, even though the decoding will have to start earlier?
