start & stop times

Postby liram » 22 Jun 2013 15:24

Hi,
I just registered as a member and this is my very first post on this forum.
I enjoy using VLC since few years, but I'm not an expert!
My current version is the last one (2.0.7) on PC under Windows8.
I tried to cut a mp3 file using the ':start-time=' and ':stop-time=' optional commands .

The real times do not match the requested ones
Just as an example, I asked for a stop-time of 219 seconds and I got 225 (6'' more)
Even more surprising, the times that I got weren't always the same.

Where is the trap?
Thanks for any reply

You probably have a Variable Bitrate file.
