Is there any way to tell the encoder to encode e.g. from the 01:40 until
at exactly the 03:05??? I am asking because if you give in our example:
$ mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ss 100 -endpos 185

which is by the way a simple cutting procedure of a clip, then the
mencoder will encode (copy at this case) 185 seconds after the 100th
second of the clip, i.e. it will stop at the 285th second=04:45 of the
video clip, which is not correct since I want to encode until the 185th
second=03:05. I hope you understand the issue.

Thanks,
