[Libav-user] Batch trimming commands

Hello,

I currently use ffmpeg.exe to trim videos from point A to point B.
Something like this: ffmpeg -i "original.avi" -ss 0:10:00 -t 0:00:30
"output.avi"

Oftentimes I need to trim several clips out of the same video.
Unfortunately this means ffmpeg.exe must scan over the same sections
of video over and over again to get to the clip's starting point. A
more efficient way to handle this would be to batch trimming commands.
Maybe something like: ffmpeg -i "original.avi" -ss1 0:10:00 -t1
0:00:30 "output1.avi" -ss2 0:15:00 -t2 0:00:30 "output2.avi". Is there
any way to do this with the static binary?

Thanks!

Simon
