  • ffmpeg - how do I remove a sweep line seen

    8 novembre 2013, par eduard

    I am streaming a video over network(rtp) which uses x264 and ffmpeg's h264 on the other side. Everything is OK as far as there is no packet loss. When there are packet loss it fixed when key-frame arives. Instead of immediate refresh it takes about 1-1.5 seconds and it seems like a sweep line which 'cleans' the errors.

    Is there a way to make key frames fix errors immediately?

  • Make thumbs from videos with ffmpeg and php [on hold]

    8 novembre 2013, par Milan Milosevic

    Im try extract small thumbs from video every 15 sec.

    Here is what im try now

    ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -r 1/15 -s 120x90 %03d.jpg
    

    But have some error from command line

    [mjpeg @ 0x9e695c0] bitrate tolerance too small for bitrate
    [mjpeg @ 0x9da9a60] ff_frame_thread_encoder_init failed
    Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
    

    Whats wrong here, and how to get thumbs every 15 sec. and save it 0.jpg,1jpg,2jpg,3jpg,4jpg,5jpg...etc..

  • FFmpeg 1.0 causing audio playback issues

    7 novembre 2013, par Jona

    I have an audio streamer based on ffplay. It works great using ffmpeg 0.11 but when I use ffmpeg 1.0 or the latest 1.2 release the audio seems to be decoded or played weirdly.

    Essentially it sounds like chipmunks with mp3 streams and with aac streams I hear tons of static barely hearing the actual stream and the actual stream sounds slow.

    Any ideas the possible changes in ffmpeg that could have caused these types of issues?

    Similar issue was posted here but no actual answer about what is going on. Supposedly this code reproduces the same issue.

    UPDATE 1:
    I have done a step by step copy from ffplay and still no luck! :/ The channel and sampling rate look correct so there must be something internally that is returning a weird decoded format?

  • Lossless video codec squashing dim pixels using avconv

    7 novembre 2013, par Noah

    I am using avconv to convert a raw avi grayscale video to huffyuv with mkv container. I've read that huffyuv is "mathematically lossless", which is precisely what I want. avoprobe on the input file gives

    Input #0, avi, from 'myvid.avi':   Duration: 00:00:32.94, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 129167 kb/s
        Stream #0.0: Video: rawvideo, pal8, 328x246, 200 fps, 0.08 tbr, 200 tbn, 200 tbc
    

    The movie has high intensity (approx 150-250 in 8 bits) and low intensity (1-9) elements that I would like to preserve. However if I run

    avconv -y -an -i myvid.avi -r 200 -c:v huffyuv av_test.mkv
    

    I get a text.mkv where the low intensity details have vanished. In fact I was able to plot the following for the two videos. Squashing of dim pixels

    So avconv is deciding I don't need those critical dim pixels. I could just add, say, 15 to all pixel values, but then I would saturate my bright pixels and there's no guarantee the cutoff value is the same for all videos. I do some downstream processing on the output where I really need pixel values to not change when I convert video formats. Any insights as to how to get avconv or huffyuv to actually save my video without loss?

  • ffmpeg : save separate frames as still gifs

    7 novembre 2013, par Eugene M

    The question is simple: I don't want ffmpeg to create an animated GIF from given video stream, I want separate frames, each in GIF format. But when I set output file to something like frame%09d.gif ffmpeg tends to create an animation (and stores it exactly as frame%09d.gif). The same for -f gif option.

    Of course, I could save PNGs and use ImageMagic's convert utility to transform them to GIFs, but I don't want any additional invocation overhead because I'm dealing with live streams and going to crunch large amounts of data.

    Here is what I do, nothing special:

    ffmpeg -i http://brightcove03-f.akamaihd.net/valgbodmandag1378107345_1_300k@80362 -f gif -y frame_%09d.gif

    After all I get a file named "frame_%03d.gif", but instead I want to have several files "frame_001.gif", "frame_002.gif", etc.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
