Hello, FFMPEG is creating an ever growing output file from a recorded IP cam stream. But the acual video is only about 7min.
My input command was: ffmpeg -loglevel debug -timelimit 1.800 -hide_banner -i 'http://192.168.1.234:567/videostream.cgi?user=USER&pwd=PWD' -y -segment_time 1.800 /path/to/destination/stream.mp4 There are a few issues with this: FFMPEG doesn't exit after 1800sec/30min. '-timelimit 1.800' seems to be ignored (I also tried '1800', same result.) The video time in the output file does not correspond to 1800sec/30min despite its size (371 MB this time). This may be due to the segmentation, so when stopped manually, it may not have completed a segment. But why is the output file growing then? '-segment_time' should limit the size of this file = segment. 1800 seconds of .mp4 should correspond to a fixed maximum size...or not?
