[FFmpeg-user] Removing parts of a video using the select filter

[Stephen Liu]

 Hi Simon,
Try the command on following document, using the trim filter;

Commands to manipulate a video ->
Remove video segments (without audio)
https://transang.me/practical-ffmpeg-commands-to-manipulate-a-video/#:~:text=setpts%20%3A%20change%20the%20PTS%20(presentation,timestamp)%20of%20the%20frame%20filter.&text=STARTPTS%20%3A%20The%20PTS%20of%20the%20first%20frame.

It has a very detailed explanation.
If it works, please come back sharing your result to others
Stephen

How apropos! *

I've been trying to do essentially this for years- it was the reason I
subscribed to and posted to this list initially. It would be great to
have a mode which has the frame-exact + sync nature of a re-encode,
without the re-encode!

The trouble I've run into the few times I've tried it is that when I
try and glue the parts back together via concat, things do not work
nicely. Perhaps if there were a way to replicate all the codec
properties of the original stream when re-encoding, it might work; but
it's also possible that something else like PTS would throw it off.

* typed and posted while waiting on ffmpeg to visually "losslessly"
re-encode so that I can do a frame exact cut, currently at 0.601x
