If you want to pull a high-quality clip (like the opening arrival sequence at the dock), you can use the trim command without re-encoding to save time and quality: ffmpeg -ss 00:01:00 -i input_episode1.mkv -t 00:00:30 -c copy clip.mkv -ss : Start time. -t : Duration. -c copy : Fast extraction without losing quality. 2. Testing video quality & details

"Deep tissue or lossless ?" the masseuse asks.

This command re-encodes the video using H.264 encoding, which is widely compatible, and sets the quality with -crf 18 , where lower values result in higher quality but larger file sizes.
