Note: Some players may have trouble seeking in the trimmed file if the key‑frame positions don’t line up. If you see playback glitches, re‑encode the trimmed segment:
ffmpeg -ss 00:01:15 -to 00:02:45 -i "Video Tante Pipis.3gp" -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k "TantePipis_trimmed.mp4"
ffmpeg -i "Video Tante Pipis.3gp" -filter:v "crop=640:360:0:0" -c:a copy "TantePipis_cropped.mp4"
