This can be done by using -ss and -t options.

-ss seeks for the start position

-t limits the duration

so the command is like this.

ffmpeg -ss 50 -t 10 -i C:\test.mp4 [rest of the command]

this processes 10 seconds of video, starting at 50 and going onto 60.

Please check following options:

This will stop writing output after duration reached:

-t duration (output).

This will stop writing output at position reached:

-to position (output).

This will set input time offset in seconds

-itsoffset offset (input).
