saving the first and second 2 minutes of a wmv video in Ubuntu Terminal

Solution 1:

You can use ffmpeg to rip the first 2 minutes, etc that you want.

ffmpeg -i 10minvideo.wmv -ss 0 -t 120 first2min.wmv

Then for the next 2 minutes it would be the same but change the -ss 0 to -ss 120:

ffmpeg -i 10minvideowmv -ss 120 -t 120 second2min.wmv

Just remember to set -ss to whatever starting seconds position you want and the -t is the amount of time you are recording from it.

Hope this helps!
