 'Turn BitLocker on' missing on usb drive

'Turn BitLocker on' appears on all HD partitions, but not on USB drives. 

Solution: Insert the USB stick in question - In Disk Manager right click on the partition and Delete Volume then New Simple Volume. 

After formatting in Disk Management, you need to physically disconnect and reconnect the removable drive. Then the "Turn on Bitlocker" button appears in the Explorer context menu.

How to cut a video, without re-encoding

Use this to cut video from [start] for [duration]:

ffmpeg -ss [start] -i in.mp4 -t [duration] -c copy out.mp4

Here, the options mean the following:

  • -ss specifies the start time, e.g. 00:01:23.000 or 83 (in seconds)
  • -t specifies the duration of the clip (same format).
  • Instead of -t you can also supply the end time with -to.
  • -c copy copies the first video, audio, and subtitle bitstream from the input to the output file without re-encoding them. This won't harm the quality and make the command run within seconds.

Note that if you've used -ss, you have to subtract this from the -to timestamp. For example, if you cut with -ss 3 -i in.mp4 -to 5, the output will be five seconds long.
