If I understood the use case correctly, it might be sufficient if you
create a very short excerpt of your 30GB file like this:

  $ ffmpeg -i {HUGE_FILE} -c copy -s {START_OFFSET} -t {DURATION}
{OUTPUT_FILE}

With "-s" you can define a start offset (in seconds), and with "-t" a
duration of the snippet (also in seconds)


For example:

  $ ffmpeg -i input.avi -c copy -s 10 -t 5 output.avi


That would create a 5 second snippet, starting at offset 10s.


If the conversion issue can be reproduced with a snippet of a few
frames, you could try to set the duration to e.g. 1 second, therefore
reducing the filesize to be as small as possible.
