    Require some FFMPEG Assistance

    Hey All,

    My girl has some issues on her box with Windows Movie Maker.
    Thus I, Linux. Python and FFMPEG where in the help.

    I managed to extract the clips she made for moviemaker from the project file.
    I managed to get the right info from this horrid file type.
    I managed to write this script:
    Code:
    #!/bin/zsh
INPUT=meangirl.avi

ffmpeg -i $INPUT -ss 87.0981898 -t 7.5569062 Jos_Bike.avi
ffmpeg -i $INPUT -ss 170.7344429 -t 15.595673699999992 The_Plastics.avi

ffmpeg -i $INPUT -ss 2019.3975742 -t 20.534288500000002 Photo_Session.avi
etc..
    But, when I try this with my movies and my shows it all just works.
    Although these files generate output I just dont understand.

    And I hope someone can point me at the right direction:
    Code:
    robin% ffmpeg -i meangirl.avi -ss 4909.2317209 -t 4.811771199999384 Tyler_root_for_Jo.avi

    Besides that I will supply that I use Arch and have the following uname -a output although this looks rather unrelated for this topic:
    Code:

    Thanks,

    Cheers,
    Robin

    Ok. You don't indicate what the problem is with converting your girlfriend's videos. Please explain.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Woops, I thought that was in there.
    I must have been very tired yesterday

    The error is:
    Error while opening encoder for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

    And as I don't set one of those parameters at all I dont get it.

    Hope the question is more clear now. Since with this error it won't make a file at all.

    AVI is just a wrapper for other formats, so you need to specify an output type for the AVI target file using an options such as -target <output type>
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
