[FFmpeg-user] -t option is ignored

> Could you try moving the -ss and -t after the -i now? :)

Thank you for your continued assistance.

output still contains about 4 minutes of additional time, which
consists of no sound and frozen frame.

f$ ffmpeg -i input.avi -ss 01:05:16 -t 120 -c:v copy -c:a copy output.avi
