I have a set of .mov videos which require conversion to .mp4 format. I'm using ffmpeg and running this command:
ffmpeg -i Banking.mov -vsync -async -sameq -ac 1 -ab 64k -ar 44100 Banking.mp4
There is a slight difference between input and output video in time length (00:03:35.407 and 00:03:35.582). And here's the catch - I'm storing time cue set at precise times in a file which is used by a program to point at specific scenes. The 0.1 second difference causes it to point at wrong scenes, therefore making the cue set useless. Is there any possibility to preserve exactly the same time in different format?
