  • Mute specified sections of an audio file using ffmpeg

    24 mars 2015, par kimadactyl

    I have a JSON file containing regions that I want to mute in a given audio file. How can I process the audio file to mute the file between the listed sections?

  • FFMPEG is doubling audio length when extracting from video

    23 mars 2015, par Samuel Stiles

    I've got a video file, video.mp4. It is 18 minutes 23 seconds in duration. I am looking to extract the audio only from this video, and create an MP3 of the highest possible quality from the audio in the video.

    Some googlefu lead me to this command: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 audio.mp3

    The problem is that, this command doubles the length of the audio that's outputted (duration is 36 minutes 46 seconds). It loops the audio track once, so the output contains the entire 18 minutes 23 seconds of audio, then immediately starts the 18 minutes and 23 seconds of audio over again.

    Some more googlefu lead me to this flag: -write_xing 0 from this SO question, but even with that flag it still loops the audio.

    EDIT: Additional googlefu and me seeming to think it has something to do with 2 audio channels (and perhaps looping channel 2 immediately after channel 1, rather than merging the two) lead me to this flag: -ac 1 to force it to merge stereo -> mono. This did not work also, and it still outputs a 38 minute 46 seconds MP3 file.

    How can I extract (to MP3) the audio from a video file, without doubling the duration?

  • ffmpeg scale, how to crop correctly

    23 mars 2015, par sathia

    I'm using this command to encode videos

    $transcode = FFMPEG_BINARY.' -loglevel panic -y -i "'.$files['original'].'" -vf scale='.VIDEO_SIZE_X.':'.VIDEO_SIZE_Y.' -vcodec libx264 -profile main -preset slow -r 25 -b '.VIDEO_BITRATE.' -maxrate '.VIDEO_BITRATE.' -bufsize 1000k -threads '.VIDEO_THREADS.' -acodec aac -ar 44100 -f mp4 -strict -2 '.$files['mp4'];
    
    where: VIDEO_SIZE_X = 640 and VIDEO_SIZE_Y = 480, VIDEO_BITRATE = 900k
    

    it all seems to work fine, but the problem I'm having is that the video is not resized to the desired size which is 640x480

    output from vlc

    ^ This is the output from vlc

    It looks like there's some reference to the desired size, but the video is not scaled/cropped, what's the correct way of scaling videos in order to have the desired size? I don't mind having black stripes above and below or bands at the sides.

    so, here's a bit of debugging as requested:

    /usr/bin/ffmpeg -loglevel panic -y -i "in.wmv" -vf scale=640:480 -vcodec libx264 -profile main -preset slow -r 25 -b 900k -maxrate 900k -bufsize 1000k -threads 8 -acodec aac -ar 44100 -f mp4 -strict -2 out.mp4

  • How can i create a portrait video using Android's MediaRecorder

    23 mars 2015, par urudroid

    I have an Android application which is able to record and play a videos in portrait mode, those features are working fine on Android phones.

    The issue comes up because this video is needed to be played also on iOS devices (after being shared through a server).

    iOS is not correctly showing the video as it looks "cropped", but videos recorded on iOS are played without issues.

    So, the main difference between videos created on Android and iOS' is the size and the rotation.

    Im using CWAC-Camera library for preview and recording and ffmpeg to scale the video down to 320x568px (as this is the standard size for both Android and iOS apps).

    Here is the metadata from an video created from Android:

    The values width and height are inverted on Android, also the Rotation parameter is set to 270º (this is the rotation parameter for portrait videos).

    This is a sketch of how iOS' videos look on iOS app:

    Videos recorded on iOS

    And this is how Android's videos look on iOS app:

    enter image description here

    So, in order to get the videos correctly displayed both on iOS and Android i need to be able to set the width to 320 and height to 568 on Android. I tried it from several places (outside and inside CWAC-Camera library) but i always get a Camera.Parameters error.

    It is possible to do this on Android?

    EDIT:

    This is the result i get when i set the rotation to 0 with ffmpeg:

  • Save changed frame in FFMPEG API

    23 mars 2015, par Vaigard

    I extracts frames from H.264 video by avcodec_decode_video2(pCodecCtx, pFrame, &frameFinished, &packet); procedure (like in example from https://github.com/chelyaev/ffmpeg-tutorial/blob/master/tutorial01.c) and changed values of samples. How I can save these changes in original video? After the change of the frame by the pointer he does not change.

    And I have a problem with avcodec_encode_video2 function: assertion avctx->codec->encode2 failed at .... What does this mean?

    Thank you.
