How to get to record part of a video, not in youtube? [Solved]

[keos]

... Or use the same feature of vlc: Play it and click to record (at the point you want it to start). Stop it wherever you like. It'll be cropped (and saved as a new file) and the output (both audio and video) will stay exactly the same.

Very easy to understand.

Thanks once again!

P.S. It may still be 1-2 sec. before /after the point(s) you mark. Cause (all this kind of software, including those in terminal) it's just selecting the most appropriate frame near that point.

[Huckleberry Finn]

... it starts fine at the time I set it, 09:54 but it ends beyond the time I have set it, it continues to record a few extra minutes (?) ..

Meanwhile:

-ss 09:54 ... -t 12:54

will start it at 09:54 and the length of the video will be 12:54 (not the end point) .
So, if you were trying to end it at 12:54 it needs to be -to 12:54

[keos]

I guess you are referring now to the command ... No, it was in a portion of the video (from 9:54 to 12:54) -- which is two hours long.

[Huckleberry Finn]

... a portion of the video (from 9:54 to 12:54) --

Yep, so try with -to instead of -t

( Shortly: Either -to 12:54 or -t 180 (for 180 seconds = 3 minutes duration as you wanted to )

It seems that now there is a blockage with this download from https://archive.org/ that's why the "ERROR" displayed.

I do it again now at https://www.bitchute.com to check if (with '- to' as you recommended) and it comes up but with the same extra minutes as before.
