  • How to bookmark a video, to skip the video to a cetain duration ?

    17 août 2016, par Prasanth Kumar Arisetti

    I am encoding the incoming camera data, using x264 encoder and mpegtsmux to a filesink .ts files.

    I am pushing the buffers to the pipeline, using, g_signal_emi_by_name.
    

    Pipeline is something like this:

    gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,width=720,height=576,framerate=25/1 ! x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! filesink  location=test.ts
    

    Now, for that video, i would like to add bookmarks for certain duration to directly skip the video to that duration, when click on that duration.

    How can i add bookmarks to that video?

  • x264 threading latency

    13 août 2016, par TheRock

    I wonder why sliceless threading (http://akuvian.org/src/x264/sliceless_threads.txt) in x264 leads to latency? If I have for example 2 threads the first encode one frame and the second encode one frame. The seconds have to wait for the first in some cases. But they can be encoded in parallel.

    So two threads should be faster than only one, right?

  • Need assistance to compile X264 in Visual Studio

    8 août 2016, par Vikram Bammanhalli

    I have been trying to open x264 code base in Visual Studio, by creating a separate project for it, but without any success.

    I thought it should have been straight forward. I could build X264 code using MinGW, but I need to edit the code and extract motion estimation code.

    Has anyone compiled/run the x264 from Visual Studio?

    Thanks!

  • FFMPEG creates incorrect Source duration

    4 août 2016, par Byron Whitlock

    When transcoding movies from an AVI to mp4 sometimes FFMPEG sets the "Source Duration" incorrectly.

    This messes up playback on IOS devices. Specifically, it causes the video to cut out at "Source duration" while the audio still plays.

    enter image description here

    FFMPEG output transcode doesn't' show anything odd at all. Looks normal, no errors or warnings.

    • Can I force FFMPEG to never add the "Source Duration" metadata?
    • How do I edit the track metadata shown by mediainfo? I tried Mp4box, and a few others, but I can't seem to figure out how to edit track level metadata.

    Thanks.

    Log is below.

    Edit

    This has something to do with data, when I run this command (cut at 10 minutes)

    ffmpeg.exe -i CI.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:08:00 -vcodec copy  -map_metadata 0 -acodec copy CI2.mp4
    

    Mediainfo shows

    Duration                    : 9mn 49s
    Source duration             : 2mn 40s
    

    When I run this one (18 minutes)

    ffmpeg.exe -i CI.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:18:00 -vcodec copy  -map_metadata 0 -acodec copy CI2.mp4
    

    Mediainfo shows

    Duration                    : 17mn 49s
    Source duration             : 3mn 30s
    

    How can I edit the metadata directly

  • Where can I find the quantized residuals in x264 ?

    28 juillet 2016, par dasy

    I'm trying to extract the quantized residuals of the macroblocks as determined by the encoder. Unfortunately I've not been able to find where this data is stored (I'm workig on the latest x264 snapshot: 20160727-2245). Which class should I inspect to find the residuals?
