[MPlayer-users] splitting avi output

[gabor]

ok, i always wanted to know this ...

so let's say i use -sb xyz

now what if xyz is a place between two keyframes?
will the movie begin at the exact position ( between keyframes ?)?
or will it begin at a keyframe? which one? prev? next?

btw. maybe it would be a good idea to give constistent name to 
parameters, because -sb, -ss, -endpos.... well.. :-)

thanks,
gabor
