New description:

 command:
 `ffmpeg -rtbufsize 100M -vsync 0 -vf "select='$frms'" -fps_mode
 passthrough -strftime 1 frames/"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S_%5d.bmp" -i
 "${vid_scr}"`

 problem:
 extracting multiple frames from multiple splitted videos, in automated way
 using ffmpeg, in an ordered way, with timestamp+increment of index is
 impossible. Think of multiple videos (vid01.mp4 vid02.mp4) recorded at 50
 fps / 128 etc.

 When you try to extract these thumbnails all will start as "00001.jpg,
 00002.jpg". which will overwrite them. Otherwise you must make a differect
 directory for each video which is inconvenient.

 I have read that strftime cannot work with miliseconds or with other
 incremented indices.

 So this is a problem.

 Solution
 strftime must define only time and must work with other incremental
 indices. Also, it must support miliseconds & nanoseconds. There are some
 addons that do that.

 I tried to set the time outside ffmpeg as variable but do not "renew" it.
 it stuck on same number.

 `dtmil="$(date +"%T.%N")";`

 `ffmpeg -rtbufsize 100M -vsync 0 -vf "select='$frms'" -fps_mode
 passthrough frames/"$dtmil_%5d.bmp" -i vid01.mp4`

 system: linux debian
