do

docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --name dvr01_chnl$folderIndex -v /disk/dvr01/ch$folderIndex:/data vimagick/ffmpeg  -i "rtsp://:554/user=admin&password=&channel=$folderIndex&stream=0.sdp" -vcodec  libx264 -crf 20  -acodec copy -map 0 -f segment -strftime 1 -segment_time 300 -segment_format mp4 "/data/%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.mp4"  2>&1 >/dev/null &
