  • How to cut video into 4M size mp4 video using ffmpeg

    13 October 2022, by fxsshiwo

    I have a *.mp4 video file, which is cut to a fixed size using ffmpeg, using the following commands

    '/usr/local/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg' '-y' '-ss' '00:00:00.00' '-i' '57066524-1.mp4' '-t' '00:00:05.00' '-vcodec' 'libx264' '-acodec' 'libmp3lame' '-b:v' '1000k' '-refs' '6' '-coder' '1' '-sc_threshold' '40' '-flags' '+loop' '-me_range' '16' '-subq' '7' '-i_qfactor' '0.71' '-qcomp' '0.6' '-qdiff' '4' '-trellis' '1' '-b:a' '128k' '-pass' '1' '-passlogfile' '/tmp/ffmpeg-passes6332bdc9814883qh89/pass-6332bdc98160c' '1.mp4'

    but I get an error saying -

    Unknown encoder 'libx264'

    Here is the complete error message：

  • ffmpeg conversion x264 [error]: malloc of size 769152 failed

    4 October 2022, by prashanthp

    I am trying to convert video recorded from Android smart watch (.mp4 format) to a format (.mp4) which playable on all browsers. The video recorded from smart watch is not playing in the browsers. so, i've used ffmpeg to convert in into a playable mp4 format.

    But sometimes it is showing error as x264 [error]: malloc of size 503008 failed

    What is the reason for this. Sometimes it's getting converted and sometimes it is showing error .

    Here is the console output.

    When i execute this from shell it is working fine. But when i create a script file and trying to execute that script file from php , it is showing error's. I increased the memory limit in php, still it is showing error. Also , we are using ZEND framework. Is there any problems with ZEND??

  • FFMPEG bluray compliant 1080p encoding

    26 September 2022, by Ben Gnomino

    I'm trying to encode (with ffmpeg) bluray compliant h264 files to use with adobe encore cs6. Encore reads the m2ts file correctly and says no transcoding needed, but when I try to build the bdmv folder I get "video buffer underflows. total bitrate is too high near time..."

    "%execpath%" -hide_banner -c:v h264_cuvid -hwaccel_output_format cuda -i "%~1" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset medium -profile:v high -level:v 4.1 -b:v 25M -maxrate:v 38M -bufsize:v 30M -bf 3 -bt 1.0 -rc vbr -qmin 0 -qmax 69 -refs:v 4 -rc-lookahead 24 -flags +pass2+cgop -coder:v cabac -g 24 -keyint_min 1 -r 24000/1001 -bluray-compat 1 "%~p1%~n1.m2ts"

    Using libx264 makes no difference. Instead same settings using x264.exe generates a perfectly working file (for encore).

  • How is the FFMPEG x264 result bitrate calculated?

    12 September 2022, by secondplace

    When encoding in x264 (libx264) there is a listing at the end showing different encoding stats. I noticed that the Bitrate is too high. I was wondering how this can be.

    Here is an example:

    frame=177719 fps= 24 q=-1.0 Lsize= 4768888kB time=02:03:35.74 bitrate=5268.1kbits/s dup=0 drop=43 speed=1.01x
video:4186558kB audio:579355kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: 0.062419%

    From the first two result lines I can grab the stream size and stream duration. From that i can calculate the overall bitrate

    (4186558 * 8) / 7415.744 = 4516.39970311812

    However the last FFMPEG output shows an additional 108.4kb/s:

    [libx264 @ 0000026e1011f440] kb/s:4624.79

    When I use MediaInfo to get the stream size and stream duration it's also a little different.

    (4192906.438 * 8) / 7415.742 = 4523.24952836817

    The manual calculations from FFMPEG and MediaInfo are close enough and not significantly different however where are the 100kb/s+ from FFMPEG results coming from?

    Edit:

    I just found out that using --parsespeed=1 in MediaInfo CLI will give more accurate results for Variable Bitrates. Default is 0.5.

  • Ffmpeg c++ can't compile with libxh264

    10 September 2022, by Turgut

    I made a program that uses the source version of ffmpeg. I get the code from it's website and compile/configured it. The problem is I want to configure it with the libx264 flag so it looks like this:

    ./configure --enable-shared --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl

    Ffmpeg itself compiles with no errors, however when I try to compile my own code using make I get this error:

    (The error is a bit longer but I think this is ample for now.)

    The thing is, this code also runs on the cloud and compiles just fine without the --enable-libx264 flags. And inside the cloud, it works just fine even with the libx264 flag. But when I follow the exact same steps as the cloud and try to compile it locally, it gives this error.

    Here are the steps I have followed:

    First I removed ffmpeg (It was a bit messy) using sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ffmpeg then I made sure its deleted by searching find / -name ffmpeg and manually deleting my findings. Then, I ran apt-get install -y libx264-dev, followed by ./configure --enable-shared --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl inside the directory where I have downloaded the source files. Then ran make and make install where ffmpeg source files are. I ran ldconfig so it can detect shared libs (This is how it works on the cloud) and finally ran make on my own codes directory and got the error mentioned.

    Here is my CMakeFile:

    Like I said, it works on the cloud just the way it is and everything works without the --enable-libx264 flag.

    How can I fix this? I'm on ubuntu 22+
