Hi all

I want to use vlc to cut some parts of an avi file with ( h264 mpeg4 AVC ) codec. I used this command:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" "1.avi" --start-time=10 --stop-time=20 --sout=#transcode{}:file{dst=res.avi} --no-sout-keep --no-loop vlc://quit

I except the file's length be about 10 seconds but when I see the generated file it's length is about 462 second. I see the start-time is correct but the length is not. I used some options such as --sout-keep and --run-time but they where not effective. How can I di this accurately using command line

?

Thank you all

Another confusing subject I see is that when the file I have to split is on a flash memory this command works slowly but correct (without vlc://quit), But when the input and output files are on the hard-disk the result file length is incorrect; however the start time is correct!
