too long time waste on the part before intended snippet and encode zero frame when encode a rmvb file to an avi snippet

Description

I tried to get an avi snippet from a rmvb movie using ffmpeg, this is my command line: ffmpeg -i yyzs.rmvb -ss 02:40:00 -t 00:10:00 yyzs17.avi

But, it spend about 10 minutes on the part before intended snippet and encode zero frame, the last 1 minutes it worked on that snippet. The key message is: "Buffering several frames is not supported. Please consume all available frames before adding a new one."

I tried encoding rmvb to avi, rmvb to mp4, mp4 to mp4, mp4 to avi, got the same result.

ffmpeg compiled from newest git repository: FFmpeg version git-N-28755-g7ac1674

Envirnment: Vmware virtual machine(Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400), Ubuntu 10.04

I am not sure I understand your report:
You put -ss behind the input file, instructing ffmpeg to decode all data before the "intended snippet". It may take several minutes to decode over two hours of rv40 video. You can put -ss before the input file, instructing ffmpeg to seek over the unneeded data. This does not always work (some streams are not seekable, ffmpeg may not support seeking in some streams), but it does work fine for the test file you uploaded.

Or are you complaining about the warning message from the buffer filter?

Note that FFmpeg's rm demuxer is known not to work very well: I believe you cut FFmpeg output, so it is not visible, but I suspect it shows a high (and unwanted) valued for "drop". -r 25 does not help, unfortunately.

Sorry, it's not a bug, all is my fault. Too many examples on internet for splitting video with ffmpeg is put -i before -ss.

Put -i after -ss solved my broblem.

Thanks.

Allow me to repeat that I do not believe the resulting "snippet" has acceptable quality (because at least half the frames are missing).
