I'm trying to clip some movie from time A to time B using ffmpeg.
I can set how long the target video should be using the -t flag, but how should I tell it to start that time from time A?
In other words: I have a movie with the length of 10 minutes – I want to clip it to get only 5 minutes of it, starting from minute 2. How can I tell ffmpeg what I want?

You you tried the -ss option? From the ffmpeg documentation:
`-ss position'
Seek to given time position in seconds. hh:mm:ss[.xxx] syntax is also supported.

You could use dmMediaConverter with Split option, it will do it quickly without re-encoding. It is a ffmpeg GUI.

4I've tried that but the point was I had to put it before -i option i've always tried it after that. – Ali1S232 – 2011-06-05T15:48:56.773
appears that location of -ss makes a difference: http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/Seeking%20with%20FFmpeg
