How to discard a part of a MP4 with ffmpeg
Is there a way to slice out a 5 minute portion of an MP4 file with ffmpeg?
My attempt at running the following gives me the section I want to remove in hateley2.mp4.
ffmpeg -ss 01:02:00.000 -i hateley.mp4 -t 00:05:00.000 -c copy hateley2.mp4
Is there a way I can turn hateley2.mp4 into hateley.mp4 without that 5 minute section from 1hr 2min that I wish to remove?

What's your tolerance for keeping a part of the 5 minute portion at both ends or removing a bit extra?

There probably is a 1-step ffmpeg command to do this, but I always approach it like this:
- Perform an extract operation like you're doing, but extract from the original, starting at time 0:00 and up to 1:02:00.
- Perform another extract operation, starting at 1:07:00 thru the end of the film (I think you just leave the duration off to get thru the end).
- Merge the 2 pieces together like the following:
Merge example:
echo 1.mp4 > merge.txt
echo 2.mp4 >> merge.txt
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i merge.txt -c copy merged.mp4
If you have more than one audio track in the file(s), you might need a more complicated merge like:
ffmpeg -f concat -i merge.txt -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c copy merged.mp4
