How to remove negative timestamp from a media?
I have media for which the ffprobe -show_streams produces an output as below:(this is a media trimmed using an iPhone)

[/STREAM]I want to transcode it using ffmpeg and store it on cloud.Below is the command I use to do it:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vprofile baseline -preset veryfast -crf 20 -r 24 -s 480×360 -acodec libfdk_aac -ab 50000 -ar 44100 output.mp4

[/STREAM]The new media seems to show the trimmed off content too. ffplay seems to understand the transcoded media and play it fine. But other players like QuickTime or VLC play the trimmed content too. How do I transcode such that the trimmed part is removed in the transcoded video?

The iPhone trimming may not actually be trimming the audio/video data, just marking trim points that FFMPEG may not understand.
I would try re-doing the trimming with FFMPEG too. For example, in FFMPEG, “-ss 10” will start the new transcoded file after 10 seconds, and “-t 21” will trim it after 21 seconds. Adjust those values as needed (you may be able to find them in your FFPROBE output, otherwise you may have to view the file and/or experiment with different values).

Thanks Jim. I was able to fix this issue by using the trim filter.
