Thanks, that seems like a workable approach. As a result of 5 minutes experimenting, I would add these notes: not all input formats allow -ss -endpos is a duration parm, ie, relative to ss starting point (if any) the ".ms" part is, I guess, is supposed to indicate that the seconds part allows a decimal part. .5 is 1/2 second not 5ms <heh>.
