#11217: Output "-ss" memory consumption regression -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Bryce | Owner: (none) Chester Newman | Type: defect | Status: new Priority: important | Component: ffmpeg Version: 7.1 | Resolution: Keywords: seek | Blocked By: seeking | Blocking: | Reproduced by developer: 0 Analyzed by developer: 0 | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Gyan): Replying to [comment:8 Bryce Chester Newman]:
I appreciate the workaround Gyan, but let's say that -ss is 3 seconds and the video was 30 minutes in duration, wouldn't ffmpeg try to read the rest of the remainder of the file?
No. Once the output(s) which consume that input have terminated, that input is closed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11217#comment:10> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker
