you can specify total_frames along with vbv-end-fr there is in general not a 1:1 correspondance between duration and the number of frames the frame rate may vary, there may be skiped frames or damaged frames that where lost and so on. in case of some 2 pass mode it should be possible to get the exact number of frames in the 2nd pass. Otherwise my gut feelng is that a time based instead of a frame number based threshold would have been easier to work with if you are thinking that the total frame number should be set automatically and not by hand. I agree, its just not easy to do that in all cases. It could maybe be done in specific cases but in the general case it would need 2 passes to be reliable. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Dictatorship: All citizens are under surveillance, all their steps and actions recorded, for the politicians to enforce control.
