     23There is also a "nullsink" (null video sink) however, in order to have it work you have to be careful, because by default FFmpeg is "greedy" and will grab whatever stream it can find, so if your filter_complex output doesn't "output" anything, it will just re-encode the inputs and ignore the filter, etc.   Here is an example of its use:
     24
     25{{{
     26 ffmpeg -benchmark -i INPUT   -filter_complex "[0] split [splitout1][splitout2];[splitout1]nullsink"  -map "[splitout2]" out.mp4
     27}}}
     28
     29in the FFMpeg output it specifies (in this case)
     30{{{
     31  split:output1 -> Stream #0:0 (libx264)
     32}}}
     33which means the second output from the split is being encoded (the first output has effectively been sent to the  nullsink).
