# 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 a value using one or more of the following units:

         seconds       s
         milliseconds  ms
         microseconds  us
