Error Splitting Video File Into Multiple Segments

[Teodor Cobb]

Under Windows PowerShell I was sucessfully unsing the following comand to split a .mov video file into 30 sec clips:

ffmpeg -i P1022014.MOV -acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 30 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 P1022014_T%d.mov

However, as I have a bunch of files to split I would love to use FFmpeg Batch. But tring it I received the following error message:

[mov @ 000001ad8bdaf6c0] Invalid segment filename template 'J:\Aufnahmen\CONVERTED\P1022014.mov'
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument

Maybe something is wrong with my setting?
I created a Presets with the name: Split mov Video to segment_time 30
Parameters:

-acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 30 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 

Format: mov
Rename output: I tried the initial settings _FFB and _T%d as we are going to have several output files with different names.

See also Screenshot below. Can you help me with this?

Hi, I'm afraid such scenario is not possible for the moment, maybe in the future.

I found a way to batch split videos. You can use this parameters:

-acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 30 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 %fp\ffbatch\%fn_%0d.mov

You just need to set format extension as nul.

Hello Abel,

thanks for catching up!

I tried your parameters. What exactly do you mean with "set format extension as nul."
If I leave the format extension empty I receive an error message. See also Screenshot below.
Setting the format extension to "mov" will get the same error message.

Hi, as in the screenshot I added in my comment, you need to write exactly 'nul' in format field, so automatic output filename is overriden, and then it should work.

Hi, with "nul" I get the exactly same error message.

HI, I think it is just an issue when testing preset. You can check it by enabling "Do not try preset".

Hi, with enabling "Do not try preset" the errow window will not pup up. However, an error is shown under "Status". Please find screenshot attached.

Hi, you are not using the latest version 2.3.3.

Also, output path may need to be in brackets:

-acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 30 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 "%fp\FF_Split\%fn_%0d.mov"

Thank you Abel! It is running :)
