[FFmpeg-user] Timecode based filenames

[Colin Bitterfield]

Question on Timecode Based Filenames:


What is required to generate a filename based on timecode.

i.e. filename-start-time_end-time.mov

The % variables don’t seem to be well defined in the documentation.

I have it working with strtime 1 and using %H%M%S type variables.

Is there a reference for the %variables ?

Regards,

Colin

ps read man ffmpeg-formats (and the documentation pages)


Command:

gtimeout 62m   /opt/local/bin/ffmpeg -hwaccel videotoolbox -benchmark_all -hide_banner -stats -loglevel error -c dvvideo -pix_fmt 0rgb -capture_raw_data true -f avfoundation -i "ZR25 MC"  -c: copy -f dv pipe: | /opt/local/bin/ffmpeg -i pipe: -hide_banner -c:v dvvideo -c:a:0 pcm_s16le   -strftime 1 -copyts -timecode "00:00:00;00" -increment_tc 1 -reset_timestamps 0 -segment_time 00:05:00  -f segment  “video_%H-%M-%S_production_original.mov" -y


The gtimeout doesn’t seem to work; but that is a different issue.

Platform OSX 10.14.x
