• converting .mov file to .h264 file

  29 août 2011, par Robin Rye

  ok, this is the case, i actually want to parse frames from a mov file. get the encoded h264 frames. and i've managed to do so by using ffmpeg but when i try to make a movie again by using ffmpeg -i test* test.mov i get test00: Invalid data found when processing input so there is something not correct with the structure of the frames. as i understand it a frame should have the following appearance :

  00 00 00 01 XX data -------------

  where XX is say whether it is a I-,P- or B-frame. or more specifically type(XX) = 0x0F && XX says if it is I(type(XX) = 5 ?),P(type(XX) = 7 ?) or B(type(XX) = 8 ?) frame. I'm not sure about these number, i've been looking for it but not found good sources. so that's question number one, what number should the NALU be for the different frames ?

  anyway, when i use av_read_frame on the mov file, i get frame that look like this :

  4B = size, 1B = XX and then data. (at least this is what i think i get)

  the files where i store the frames are always size long when i look at them in a hexeditor(otherwise as well of course). and XX is always 65(ie. type(XX) = 5) in the first and then 61(ie. type(XX) = 1) for a couple of frames and then back to being 65 for one frame and so on.

  i guess that these are frames like : I P P P P P P I P P P P P P P I P P P P P P P .... however then my assumption about the type numbers for the different frame types are false, which is highly likely. (any suggestion on reading about this ? except the ISO/IEC 14496-10, i don't understand it really).

  I've tried to remove the size and append 00 00 00 01 before the XX byte and the data but without success. any tips on how i could modify the frames to be valid H264 encoded frames ?

• How would I assign multiple MMAP's from single file descriptor ?

  9 juin 2011, par Alex Stevens

  So, for my final year project, I'm using Video4Linux2 to pull YUV420 images from a camera, parse them through to x264 (which uses these images natively), and then send the encoded stream via Live555 to an RTP/RTCP compliant video player on a client over a wireless network. All of this I'm trying to do in real-time, so there'll be a control algorithm, but that's not the scope of this question. All of this - except Live555 - is being written in C. Currently, I'm near the end of encoding the video, but want to improve performance.

  To say the least, I've hit a snag... I'm trying to avoid User Space Pointers for V4L2 and use mmap(). I'm encoding video, but since it's YUV420, I've been malloc'ing new memory to hold the Y', U and V planes in three different variables for x264 to read upon. I would like to keep these variables as pointers to an mmap'ed piece of memory.

  However, the V4L2 device has one single file descriptor for the buffered stream, and I need to split the stream into three mmap'ed variables adhering to the YUV420 standard, like so...

  buffers[n_buffers].y_plane = mmap(NULL, (2 * width * height) / 3,
  
                                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
  
                                      fd, buf.m.offset);
  
  buffers[n_buffers].u_plane = mmap(NULL, width * height / 6,
  
                                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
  
                                      fd, buf.m.offset +
  
                                      ((2 * width * height) / 3 + 1) /
  
                                      sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE));
  
  buffers[n_buffers].v_plane = mmap(NULL, width * height / 6,
  
                                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED,
  
                                      fd, buf.m.offset +
  
                                      ((2 * width * height) / 3 + 
  
                                      width * height / 6 + 1) / 
  
                                      sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE));

  Where "width" and "height" is the resolution of the video (eg. 640x480).

  From what I understand... MMAP seeks through a file, kind of like this (pseudoish-code) :

  fd = v4l2_open(...);
  
  lseek(fd, buf.m.offset + (2 * width * height) / 3);
  
  read(fd, buffers[n_buffers].u_plane, width * height / 6);

  My code is located in a Launchpad Repo here (for more background) :
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/ alex-stevens/+junk/spyPanda/files (Revision 11)

  And the YUV420 format can be seen clearly from this Wiki illustration : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Yuv420.svg (I essentially want to split up the Y, U, and V bytes into each mmap'ed memory)

  Anyone care to explain a way to mmap three variables to memory from the one file descriptor, or why I went wrong ? Or even hint at a better idea to parse the YUV420 buffer to x264 ? :P

  Cheers ! ^^

• How to install ffmpeg and lame on Xampp for Mac ?

  24 janvier 2012, par Guido Lemmens 2

  I've searched the internet for days to find out how to install ffmpeg (and lame) on XAMPP for Mac (PHP). But I didn't find the key to my quetsion.

  I need to covert mp3's on my webserver (php) using lame, but I like to test it on my XAMPP for Mac first.
  I think I need the "php_ffmpeg.dll" which can be downloaded at Sourceforge.
  I found a step-by-step description here but this question only refers to XAMPP for Windows. But I need it for Mac.

  Can anyone help to supply a step-by-step description ?
