I would like to know why ffmpeg stops naming my files with a sequence number (%03d) when using -strftime 1?

for example: filename_%Y-%m-%d_%03d.ts

I need to get filename_YEAR_MONTH_DAY_SEQUENCE#.ts

  • Because the pattern is being passed to strftime() for expansion, in which %d is reserved for date. Commented Dec 5, 2016 at 14:57
