• Using FFmpeg to stitch together H.264 videos and variably-spaced JPEG pictures ; dealing with ffmpeg warnings

  19 octobre 2022, par LB2

  Context

  


  I have a process flow that may output either H.264 Annex B streams, variably-spaced JPEGs, or a mixture of two. By variably-spaced I mean where elapsed time between any two adjacent JPEGs may (and likely to be) different from any other two adjacent JPEGs. So an example of possible inputs are :

  


  

  1. stream1.h264

  


  2. {Set of JPEGs}

  


  3. stream1.h264 + stream2.h264

  


  4. stream1.h264 + {Set of JPEGs}

  


  5. stream1.h264 + {Set of JPEGs} + stream2.h264

  


  6. stream1.h264 + {Set of JPEGs} + stream2.h264 + {Set of JPEGs} + ...

  


  7. stream1.h264 + stream2.h264 + {Set of JPEGs} + ...

  


  


  The output needs to be a single stitched (i.e. concatenated) output in MPEG-4 container.

  


  Requirements : No re-encoding or transcoding of existing video compression (One time conversion of JPEG sets to video format is OKay).

  


  Solution Prototype

  


  To prototype the solution I have found that ffmpeg has concat demuxer that would let me specify an ordered sequence of inputs that ffmpeg would then concatenate together, but all inputs must be of the same format. So, to meet that requirement, I :

  


  

  1. Convert every JPEG set to an .mp4 using concat (and using delay # directive to specify time-spacing between each JPEG)

  


  2. Convert every .h264 to .mp4 using -c copy to avoid transcoding.

  


  3. Stitch all generated interim .mp4 files into the single final .mp4 using -f concat and -c copy.

  


  


  Here's the bash script, in parts, that performs the above :

  


  


  1. Ignore the curl comment ; that's from originally generating a 100 jpeg images with numbers and these are simply saved locally. What the loop does is it generates concat input file with file sequence#.jpeg directives and duration # directive where each successive JPEG delay is incremented by 0.1 seconds (0.1 between first and second, 0.2 b/w 2nd and 3rd, 0.3 b/w 3rd and 4th, and so on). Then it runs ffmpeg command to convert the set of JPEGs to .mp4 interim file.

     


     echo "ffconcat version 1.0" >ffconcat-jpeg.txt
echo >>ffconcat-jpeg.txt

for i in {1..100}
do
    echo "file $i.jpeg" >>ffconcat-jpeg.txt
    d=$(echo "$i" | awk '{printf "%f", $1 / 10}')
    # d=$(echo "scale=2; $i/10" | bc)
    echo "duration $d" >>ffconcat-jpeg.txt
    echo "" >>ffconcat-jpeg.txt
    # curl -o "$i.jpeg" "https://math.tools/equation/get_equaimages?equation=$i&fontsize=256"
done

ffmpeg \
    -hide_banner \
    -vsync vfr \
    -f concat \
    -i ffconcat-jpeg.txt \
    -r 30 \
    -video_track_timescale 90000 \
    video-jpeg.mp4


     


  


  2. Convert two streams from .h264 to .mp4 via copy (no transcoding).

     


     ffmpeg \
    -hide_banner \
    -i low-motion-video.h264 \
    -c copy \
    -vsync vfr \
    -video_track_timescale 90000 \
    low-motion-video.mp4

ffmpeg \
    -hide_banner \
    -i full-video.h264 \
    -c copy \
    -video_track_timescale 90000 \
    -vsync vfr \
    full-video.mp4


     


  


  3. Stitch all together by generating another concat directive file.

     


     echo "ffconcat version 1.0" >ffconcat-h264.txt
echo >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo "file low-motion-video.mp4" >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo "file full-video.mp4" >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo "file video-jpeg.mp4" >>ffconcat-h264.txt
echo >>ffconcat-h264.txt

ffmpeg \
    -hide_banner \
    -f concat \
    -i ffconcat-h264.txt \
    -pix_fmt yuv420p \
    -c copy \
    -video_track_timescale 90000 \
    -vsync vfr \
    video-out.mp4



     


  


  


  Problem (and attempted troubleshooting)

  


  The above does produce a reasonable output — it plays first video, then plays second video with no timing/rate issues AFAICT, then plays JPEGs with time between each JPEG "frame" growing successively, as expected.

  


  But, the conversion process produces warnings that concern me (for compatibility with players ; or potentially other IRL streams that may result in some issue my prototyping content doesn't make obvious). Initial attempts generated 100s of warnings, but with some arguments added, I reduced it down to just a handful, but this handful is stubborn and nothing I tried would help.

  


  The first conversion of JPEGs to .mp4 goes fine with the following output :

  The conversion of individual streams from .h264 to .mp4 generates two types of warnings each. One is [mp4 @ 0x7faee3040400] Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly, and the other is [mp4 @ 0x7faee3040400] pts has no value.

  


  Some posts on SO (can't find my original finds on that now) suggested that it's safe to ignore and comes from H.264 being an elementary stream that supposedly doesn't contain timestamps. It surprises me a bit since I produce that stream using NVENC API and clearly supply timing information for each frame via PIC_PARAMS structure : NV_STRUCT(PIC_PARAMS, pp); ...; pp.inputTimeStamp = _frameIndex++ * (H264_CLOCK_RATE / _params.frameRate);, where #define H264_CLOCK_RATE 9000 and _params.frameRate = 30.

  But the most worrisome error for me is from stitching together all interim .mp4 files into one :

  I'm not sure how to deal with those non-monotonous DTS errors, and no matter what I try, nothing budges. I analyzed the interim .mp4 files using ffprobe -show_frames and found that the last frame of each interim .mp4 does not have DTS, while previous frames do. E.g. :

...


  


  My guess is that as concat demuxer reads in (or elsewhere in ffmpeg's conversion pipeline), for the last frame it sees no DTS set, and produces a virtual value equal to the last seen. Then further in pipeline it consumes this input, sees that DTS value is being repeated, issues a warning and offsets it with increment by one, which might be somewhat nonsensical/unrealistic timing value.

  


  I tried using -fflags +genpts as suggested in this SO answer, but that doesn't change anything.

  


  Per yet other posts suggesting issue being with incompatible tbn and tbc values and possible timebase issues, I tried adding -time_base 1:90000 and -enc_time_base 1:90000 and -copytb 1 and nothing budges. The -video_track_timescale 90000 is there b/c it helped reduce those DTS warnings from 100s down to 3, but doesn't eliminate them all.

  


  Question

  


  What is missing and how can I get ffmpeg to perform conversions without these warnings, to be sure it produces proper, well-formed output ?

  [NULL @ 0xb7520490] Requested output format 'mpeg' is not a suitable output format
  
  VID_20150514_184208.mp4.0.mpg: Invalid argument

  But I keep getting an error saying "Requested output format ’mpeg’ is not a suitable output format". The same command seems to work on my Ubuntu machine with a full build of FFmpeg. What am I missing ? I thought I had all the mpeg encoders/decoders enabled ... mpeg, mpegvideo, mpeg1video, mpeg2video.
