Hot to batch trim mpeg files

[brandox]

Hello, I have a problem

I have like 1500 video files, in mpeg format

I need to trim 2 minute fragments from very fist second of each video and save the files with same names in mpeg format

How can I do that ? Is there any solution?

Try mencoder,

mencoder -ss 00:02:00 -ovc copy -oac copy source.mpg -o result.mpg

Use -ss to set start position (and -endpos to set end position)

and then if that works make a .bat file in the folder with all mpgs run it like

FOR %%F IN ("*.mpg") DO mencoder -ss 00:02:00 -ovc copy -oac copy %%F -o new-%%F

edit: I see that you are in mac so the bat file wont work but there should be some similar methods for it also.

Thanks! IN FACT, IT HELPED VERY MUCH!

This is the final code for .bat file:

FOR %%F IN ("*.mpg") DO mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -endpos 00:02:00 %%F -o done/%%F -mpegopts tsaf:vbitrate=5800:muxrate=7500 -noskip -mc 0
