ffmpeg - converting video to audio OGG results in wrong metadata duration


I'm converting mpeg video to ogg audio file using -vn option:


ffmpeg -i video.avi -acodec libvorbis -vn sound.ogg


The output:


ffmpeg -i video.avi -acodec libvorbis -vn -y sound.ogg

video.avi orignal size is 10.02 sec


After conversion ffmpeg -i sound.ogg gives that size is 4.91 sec:

At least one output file must be specified

NB! The file it self sound.ogg lasts 10 seconds if played in player, nothing is trimmed.


The options -q and -map are not supported on my ffmpeg version which is 0.8


UPD: It seems that there is a OGG problems in pre 1.x version. I wonder if its possible to work them around.



Answer



Well, based on the comments, ogg support is broken in your old ffmpeg build.


You need to work around somehow; with a separate ogg encoder, or something.


As an aside, if you haven't, you should ask your hosting provider to install a newer ffmpeg. clearly this one is borked.
