[FFmpeg-user] '-t' versus '-to'

[Mark Filipak]

PS: Actually, I think '-framespan' would be a better name for such a function.
-framespan 481..134046

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Carl. For example:
-ss 20.061708 -to 5570.815250
would be
-frametrim 481..134046
meaning frame 481 thru frame 134046.
Since it specifies the starting and ending frames, time is not an issue and duration is explicit.
Trimming the audio, subtitles, and chapter list would be automatic and based on those frames.
