[FFmpeg-user] multiple instances of segmenter

[Joe Konecny]

I'm calling ffmpeg from crontab and using the segmenter.  Two instances 
of ffmpeg are running at once.  One of the instances uses the segmenter
properly the other creates one large file.  Is there any way I can
make the segmenter work for each instance?
