• Why subprocess.run() have unexpected behavior in try else block ?

  25 novembre 2023, par Nikita Savenkov

  Trying to make "to mp4" converter function using ffmpeg that is going to convert a file to mp4, delete original file and return True or False for specific conditions.
But I get some unexpected behavior of a subprocess.

  


  Initially I used this construction :

  


  def to_mp4_converter(file):

    input_file = file
    output_file = f"{re.sub(r'\..+$', "", file)}.mp4"

    try:
        subprocess.run(['ffmpeg', '-i', input_file, output_file])
    except subprocess.SubprocessError as e:
        print(f"Subprocess Error: {e}")
        return False
    else:
        try:
            os.remove(path=file)
        except OSError as e:
            print(f"Can't remove {file} file: {e}")
        finally:
            return True


  


  Original file is removed, but output file is half of the expected size and quality of video is low.

  


  But if I place subprocess.run() and os.remove() into separate try else blocks like that :

  


  def to_mp4_converter(file):

    input_file = file
    output_file = f"{re.sub(r'\..+$', "", file)}.mp4"

    try:
        subprocess.run(['ffmpeg', '-i', input_file, output_file])
    except subprocess.SubprocessError as e:
        print(f"Subprocess Error: {e}")
        return False
    else:
        pass

    try:
        os.remove(path=file)
    except OSError as e:
        print(f"Can't remove {file} file: {e}")
    finally:
        return True


  


  Everything works fine.

  


  Isn't subprocess.run() should be a blocking operation, so the else statement in 1st example is unreachable until conversion is done ?

• Why isnt the dpi argument increasing resolution in matplotlib ?

  18 décembre 2023, par BananaBusters

  Ive been making little videos of the Lorenz attractor recently by plotting various steps in the Lorenz attractor trace in python, saving the plots as images then combining the images into a video. By default, a saved plot in python doesnt really have good resolution so I have been trying to boost the resolution by using the 'dpi=' argument in plt.savefig, but recently the resolution hasnt been increasing and has been staying the default value for some videos, but for others it comes out crisp and clear. Can anyone tell me where im going wrong ? Here is the code im using along with a youtube link showing the low resolution even after using a high dpi argument. And no, its not just youtube compressing the video, it looked like that before uploading as well.

  


  Youtube video showing problem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TpxeMxYs5A

  


  Code :

  


  # lorenzAttractorTrace() takes in the amount of frames you want to video to be along with the system paramters s, r and b. Default value is just a known value that gives a known result to use as sanity checks
# Will save images to target directory where you will then have to run ffmpeg through the command line to use. Ffmpeg comand is given in the next line
# ffmpeg -start_number 0 -framerate 60 -i graph%01d.png video.webm

def lorenzAttractorTrace(frames, s=10, r=28, b=2.667, clean=False, rotation=False):
    #Empty the target directory
    clearDirectory()

    #Calculate the array of points according to the lorenz system
    #Do this outside the main loop so that we only calculate it once rather than a bazillion times and annihilate memory
    dt = 0.01
    numSteps = frames

    xyzs = np.empty((numSteps+1, 3))  # Need one more for the initial values
    xyzs[0] = (0., 1., 1.05)  # Set initial values
    for i in range(numSteps):
        xyzs[i + 1] = xyzs[i] + lorenz(xyzs[i],s,r,b) * dt

    # Checking if the attractor is clean or not to determine what the first frame should look like     
    if clean == True:
        #plot the first frame outside of the main loop, same idea as initial conditions just with a frame
