[FFmpeg-user] Automatically crop longer file when merging

[Ramit Bhalla]

You can tell ffmpeg to use only part of the audio input file like:

ffmpeg -i video -i audio -t <x> ....

the x would be 1 second less than the length of the video in seconds, this
will take the first x seconds (or you can skip 1 second initially by using
-ss 1 instead of -t <x>)
