  1. If I use the following ffmpeg command to split a DV-AVI file will the output be a lossy or lossless copy?

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i input.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:30:00 output.avi
    Thanks

  2. Lossless copy of the video. You might have to enter other commands, stream mapping to get all the audio streams depending on the type of DV

  4. You're ok with that command, because you only have 1 audio track
