FFMpeg - Cut video without reencoding

Example to cut video from 5min to 8min:

ffmpeg -ss 00:05:00.000 -i "filename.mp4" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -to 00:08:00.000 "filename-output.mp4"
  • -ss start time, always put in before -i so its a lot faster (seek to this time at begining).
  • -i "filename.mp4" source file path.
  • -vcodec copy copy video codec
  • -acodec copy copy audio codec
  • -to 00:08:00.000 End time. You can also use -t option, so you can pass duration instead of end time.
  • "filename-output.mp4" output file path.
