+@item concatdec_select
+The concat demuxer can select only part of a concat input file by setting an
+inpoint and an outpoint, but the output packets may not be entirely contained
+in the selected interval. By using this variable, it is possible to skip frames
+generated by the concat demuxer which are not exactly contained in the selected
+interval.
+
+This works by comparing the frame pts against the @var{lavf.concat.start_time}
+and the @var{lavf.concat.duration} packet metadata values which are also
+present in the decoded frames.
+
+The @var{concatdec_select} variable is -1 if the frame pts is at least
+start_time and either the duration metadata is missing or the frame pts is less
+than start_time + duration, 0 otherwise, and NaN if the start_time metadata is
+missing.
+
+That basically means that an input frame is selected if its pts is within the
+interval set by the concat demuxer.
