viewing a portion of a file [SOLVED]

Postby just-do-it » 06 Mar 2010 15:06

Does anyone know if it is posible, using the command line, to view and transcode a portion of a file or DVD.
For example view 2 Minutes of a dvd placed in driveT: starting at 1:34:6 into the Dvd.
If it is, does vlc 0.8.6d also have this functionality.
I have run vlc -longhelp -advanced and see nothing that looks possible.
I am currently watching and transcoding a dvd using

Code: Select all

"c:\program files\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe" dvdsimple://t: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=file,mux=mp4,dst="D:\scratch\wed\vlc\0.8.6d\cjs01.mp4"}}
which works ok if I want to transcode the whole dvd but will vlc do a portion of it?

Code: Select all

--start-time=<float> Start time The stream will start at this position (in seconds). --stop-time=<float> Stop time The stream will stop at this position (in seconds).
You can also limit DVD playback to certain chapter or to titles. e.g.
dvdsimple://t:\@1:1
