I don't know why you would lose 7 minutes. You could try adding some of 
the other ffmpeg parameters I have in the leancap_encode.sh script. I am 
not sure what they all do, but it works for me and does not lose 
anything at the end. Of course many of those parameters are specific to 
my capture device, so would not apply.
