# MinSegmentDuration

The minimum duration of a video segment. When a transition is detected but the minimum duration has not been met, Media Server combines the segment with the next one. Every segment still starts after a transition and ends with a transition to the next scene.

Set this parameter when you want segments of a minimum length, and you don't mind if segments contain transitions.

Type: | Time duration The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify the duration in the following format:
         1days 2hours 3minutes 4seconds 500milliseconds 600microseconds
You can omit any of the individual durations when they are not required:
         4seconds 500milliseconds
You can also shorten the string by abbreviating the units to their first letter (milliseconds abbreviates to ms, microseconds to us):
         4s 500ms
The following are all equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1m 3s
         63s
