Q: Video concatenation using ffmpeg. Output video length is longer than inputs length I have a problem with video mp4 concatenation using ffmpeg. I have two the same videos and I want to concatenate them. I created file inputs.txt and then used command:
ffmpeg  -f concat -i inputs.txt -c copy mergedVideo.mp4
Output:
ffmpeg  -f concat -i inputs.txt -c copy mergedVideo.mp4

Unfortunately the result is different then I expected:
movies comparison
The output is longer than the length of two inputs. Any thoughts?
Also I tried using different commands:
ffmpeg  -f concat -i inputs.txt -c copy mergedVideo.mp4

or set the framerate:
ffmpeg -r 50 -f concat -i inputs.txt -c copy mergedVideo.mp4

What is also weird that I have the same problem when using moviepy library.
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip, concatenate_videoclips
videos = [VideoFileClip("0.mp4"), VideoFileClip("0.mp4")]
concatenate_videoclips(videos).write_videofile('mergedVideo.mp4')

Update
ffprobe command for output file
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v -show_entries stream=codec_name,time_base,start_pts,start_time,duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1 mergedVideo.mp4 
codec_name=h264
time_base=1/12800
start_pts=0
start_time=0.000000
duration=3.380000

For input:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v -show_entries stream=codec_name,time_base,start_pts,start_time,duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1 0.mp4          
codec_name=h264
time_base=1/12800
start_pts=0
start_time=0.000000
duration=1.660000

The duration supposed to be 2*1.66 = 3.32 and but it's 3.38.
