[FFmpeg-user] Multiple Seeks (-ss/-t) in one file

If the source file is not seekable, that is a perfectly valid point. If the
source file is seekable, several commands will be able to make use of that.

I believe that having a single ffmpeg instance with a single input and
several outputs, each with the codecs parameters and its own -ss and -t will
work for that case, at the cost of decoding the useless parts of the video.
