• 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.

• Android MediaRecorder setCaptureRate() and video playback speed

  7 novembre 2013, par spitzanator

  I've got a MediaRecorder recording video, and I'm very confused by the effect of setCaptureRate().

  Specifically, I prepare my MediaRecorder as follows:

  mMediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
  mCamera.stopPreview();
  mCamera.unlock();
  mMediaRecorder.setCamera(mCamera);
  mMediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
  mMediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_TIME_LAPSE_480P);
  mMediaRecorder.setCaptureRate(30f);
  mMediaRecorder.setOrientationHint(270);
  mMediaRecorder.setOutputFile(...);
  mMediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(...);
  mMediaRecorder.prepare();
  

  I record for five seconds (with a CountDownTimer, but that's irrelevant), and this is the file that gets generated:

  $ ffmpeg -i ~/CaptureRate30fps.mp4 
  ...
  Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 180000.00 (180000/1) -> 30.00 (30/1)
  Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '/home/mspitz/CaptureRate30fps.mp4':
    Metadata:
      major_brand     : isom
      minor_version   : 0
      compatible_brands: isom3gp4
      creation_time   : 2013-06-04 00:52:00
    Duration: 00:00:02.59, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 5238 kb/s
      Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264 (Baseline), yuv420p, 720x480, 5235 kb/s, PAR 65536:65536 DAR 3:2, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
      Metadata:
        creation_time   : 2013-06-04 00:52:00
  

  Note that the Duration is just about 3 seconds. The video also plays much faster, as if it were 5 seconds of video crammed into 3.

  Now, if I record by preparing my mediaRecorder exactly as above, but subtracting the setCaptureRate(30f) line, I get a file like this:

  $ ffmpeg -i ~/NoSetCaptureRate.mp4 
  ...
  Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 180000.00 (180000/1) -> 90000.00 (180000/2)
  Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '/home/mspitz/NoSetCaptureRate.mp4':
    Metadata:
      major_brand     : isom
      minor_version   : 0
      compatible_brands: isom3gp4
      creation_time   : 2013-06-04 00:50:41
    Duration: 00:00:04.87, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2803 kb/s
      Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264 (Baseline), yuv420p, 720x480, 2801 kb/s, PAR 65536:65536 DAR 3:2, 16.01 fps, 90k tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
      Metadata:
        creation_time   : 2013-06-04 00:50:41
  

  Note that the Duration is as expected, about 5 seconds. The video also plays at a normal speed.

  I'm using setCaptureRate(30f) because 30 frames per second is the value of my CamcorderProfile's videoFrameRate. On my Galaxy Nexus S2 (4.2.1), omitting setCaptureRate() is fine, but when I tested on a Galaxy Nexus S3 (4.1.1), omitting setCaptureRate() results in the ever-helpful "start failed -22" error when I called mMediaRecorder.start().

  So, what am I missing? I thought that the capture rate and the video frame rate were independent, but it's clear that they're not. Is there a way to determine programmatically what I need to set the capture rate at in order to determine that my video plays back at 1x speed?

• c++ ffmpeg decode into raw audio which cannot be read afterwards

  7 novembre 2013, par noobed

  Since I don't want to flood with code here I'll reference a link: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7344267

  Whoever understands ffmpeg documentation (I find it kinda insufficient) could be so kind to take a look at my convert.cpp?

  Q: Any easier way to take audio stream decode it somehow and encode it into mp3?

  After getting the raw audio in myOutputTest.mp3 I'm trying to put together some code using the audio_encode_example (here : http://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/doc_2examples_2decoding_encoding_8c-example.html)

  The way I see it I should open audio/video file using: avformat_open_input which throws me "Invalid data found when processing input"

  Q: Should I approach audio encoding differently? (But then where do I get all the frame and packet information if not from myOutputTest.mp3?)
