Trimming video: incorrect duration

See original GitHub issue

@Brianvdb

When I try to trim a video to 3 sec the output video becomes 01 mins :23 sec

Following is the command for trimming: (88 and 91 are the start and end time in seconds) -y -i /storage/emulated/0/abc.mp4 -ss 88 -t 91 -async 1 -c copy /storage/emulated/0/video_trimmed.mp4

Video file details: Duration: 02 mins 51 secs Size: 1280x720

Below are the logs:

Hi guys, I’ve using this command for trimming video:

ffmpeg -y -i movie.mp4 -ss 00:00:00.400 -to 00:00:47 -preset ultrafast -c:v copy -c:a copy cut.mp4

But the result always have the duration 46s, that mean it always cut 1s instead of 400ms as the params above. It also cut 2s if I use -ss 00:00:01.200, seem it can only cut by seconds instead of milliseconds

Can you guys please help me in this case.
