This is often not possible because of how audio and video are
interleaved in files.

Please remove -hide_banner if you want to support on this mailing list
and provide the command lines you tested together with the complete,
uncut console output.

Filters exist that allow you to cut and re-encode in one operation, this
will avoid the resync.
And if above input file is not the original, use originals instead.
