what ffmpeg command do I need to cut a portion of a larger mkv file and bind the 2 resulting files into 1?
-
debian 12.9 with ffmpeg.
The mkv file is 68 minutes long, I want to get rid of minutes 05:50 to 11:00 and 58:00 to 68:00. I want the resulting parts (00:00 to 05:00 and 11:00 to 58:00) bind together as a single mkv file.
the ffmpeg command I've always used for similar but easier purposes:
ffmpeg -i "E01 - Part One [x265].mkv" -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:07:28 -c copy output.mkvcan I do this with ffmpeg or do I have to bind the 2 resulting files with mkvtoolnix?
ETA: would it be a better idea to use ffmpeg installed from flatpak instead of debian's default sources? I don't know if ffmpeg is updated regularly

Look into ffmpeg's "concat" feature. It can do what you want. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate

You should be able to pass multiple
-ssand-toflags. Should look something like this;ffmpeg -i "E01 - Part One [x265].mkv" -ss 00:05:50 -to 00:11:00 -c copy 1.mkv -ss 00:58:00 -to 00:68:00 -c copy 2.mkv ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -i 2.mkv -filter_complex "[0:0][0:1][1:0][1:1]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[outv][outa]" -map "[outv]" -map "[outa]" output.mkvI've confirmed that this works fine.

Technically you are correct, but is there a more relevant community?

After some fiddling arround my self I had some Audio sync/frame gone missing issues with ffmpeg, I would recommend to use mkvtoolnix to cut and merge your mkv files together.

On the R-site there was a "Linux Questions" one. I guess it needs to be recreated here.

Creating a new community for one question is insane.
If there's a surge in questions not relevant to 90% of readers then sure but Lemmy isn't there yet

Insane is a big word. There's a separate one on the R-site so why not here? Then people who want to participate in Stack Exchange-style Q&A can subscribe to that and those who just want to discuss Linux as a subject won't have to bat away spam about the exact syntax to some obscure video-editing utility.

There was a discussion about "ghost communities" a few days ago:
https://feddit.uk/post/24499702
People are quick to create communities but they sit unused, attract few posts and fewer subscribers. Often the mods move on so even if new posts were to appear they'd be unmoderated.
The simple reason for that is there isn't enough demand. Lemmy is still small it's too early to be spinning out ever more narrowed niche communities. If you think content belongs elsewhere then report it to the mods and let them decide. If they see a surge in unwanted Q&A topics then they can amend posting guidelines to direct people elsewhere or to a Q&A thread or something.

Sure, I get that. The simpler remedy here would just be to ban ultra-niche support questions. Look at the title of this community then look at the title of this topic and ask yourself: were you interested in it? I wasn't.
