[FFmpeg-user] Reset Timestamps for mp4 Video Segments

[Jeremy Whitaker]

This worked for me as well. For the -vcodec option, I used mpeg4 instead of
libx264, and there were no pauses between the resulting mp4 video segments:

ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -t 20 -i "/dev/video0" -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 500k
-r 29.97 -qscale 2 -f segment -map 0 -segment_time 5
-reset_timestamps 1 output%01d.mp4

This command captures 4 mp4 video segments called "output[1-4].mp4," that
can play consecutively in VLC without any pauses. Thank you so much for
your help.
