Issue with split_video_for_youtube.sh

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Version: 0.7.3
File: split_video_for_youtube.sh
Distro: CentOS release 6.5 (Final)

Problem: When I attempted to execute the script, I got no output. By removing 
the "-v 1" option to up the log verbosity I received the error:

Unknown decoder 'copy'

I found by moving the input file to the front of the parameter list, it removed 
this. The man page for FFMPEG suggests there some distinction between input and 
output parameters, but doesn't seem to specify which is which. 

I changed the line in the script to this:

  ffmpeg -v 1 -i "$VIDEO" -sameq -vcodec copy -acodec copy "$@" \ 
            -ss $OFFSET -t $CHUNK_DURATION -y "$OUTPUT_FILE" </dev/null 

Which resulted in it functioning fine for me.

Thank you for this tool and script.

Mmm, the position of this -i seems wrong, check r199.
