[FFmpeg-user] pcm_s16le (and flac) in TS fails

[Etienne Buira]

Hi all.

Tried on many kind of input files with HEAD (and earliers):

1. ffmpeg -i source.something -ss 120 -t 120 -c:a pcm_s16le -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -qp 0 pcm_s16le.ts
2. ffmpeg -i pcm_s16le.ts

Did I do something wrong in my command line?

I also tried flac, but similar issue.

For the global picture, I want to do some processing on some streams,
being as lossless as possible, and then concat them to encode in wished
final quality. Somebody have a better idea for lossless step encodes?

Regards
