My email's working OK now, seems to allow reply.

Hi
I used this...
dur=$(printf "%.0f" $(ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 foo.ts))

It returns the integer, it doesn't round UP.
My 914.901333 file returned 914.

This seems OK...
if [ $dur -gt 1799 ]; then ffmpeg -i foo.ts foo.ogg; fi
The file is converted to ogg if it's longer than 29m59s.
