• Change file format from flv to anything android will play

  19 octobre 2011, par Bilthon

  I need to take this file which encoded is in h264 but in a flv container and just put it in a mp4, 3gp or whatever file format the android MediaPlayer will understand.

  I want to do this natively. As I will not be decoding nor encoding anything I think I will not be wasting a lot of power (am I wrong ?)

  I followed the instructions from here http://www.roman10.net/?p=394 and could sucessfully compile and use ffmpeg and use it with mp4 and 3gp files.

  But when it comes to flv files it fails. I understand there is no format definition for flv files in that specific port of ffmpeg for android.

  There is no libavformat/flv.h header file for instance.

  Maybe that's why this works :

  extern AVInputFormat ff_mov_demuxer ;
  av_register_input_format(&ff_mov_demuxer) ;

  While this fails :

  extern AVInputFormat ff_flv_demuxer;
  
  av_register_input_format(&ff_flv_demuxer);

  Question is, is there a light at the end of the tunnel ? has someone done something similar ? is it useful ? I mean, I can always just throw the flv media file into a flash player and voila.. the thing is that this would be a parcial solution, as it will not work for all those folks running slower devices that can't yet run Flash.

  PS. Just in case. Here's some info about the file I'm talking about :

• Music Video Idiosyncrasies

  18 juin 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General

  So I’m watching a fairly recent music video for a song named "XXXO" from an artist named M.I.A. when I’m suddenly assaulted by this imagery :

  
  
  

  ... and I enter nervous convulsions. You see, while this might seem to be an odd video effect to the casual viewer, to a multimedia hacker, it appears to be deliberately antagonistic. To anyone who has written a video codec, this scene looks like an entire casserole of video bugs, combining creeping plane offsets errors, chroma problems, and interlacing havoc. The craziest part is to realize that this is probably some kind of standard video effect / filter type. Upon a repeat viewing, I realized that the entire video sort of looks like an amateur video editor’s first week using video software.

  Elsewhere in the video, a YouTube-style video frame vortex highlights the proceedings. I guess I need to come to terms with the fact that the ubiquitous player frame is just part of the digital Zeitgeist now :

  
  
  

  Vintage Video Strangeness
  I’m a long-time music video junkie but I have a tendency of examining them entirely too closely. I first saw Paula Abdul’s video for "Cold-Hearted" when I was just starting to understand multimedia technology and how it interacted with emerging home computers. Imagine how confused I was when I tried to make sense of the actions performed by our eMaestro "Chuck" whom Paula has instructed to "hit it". First, he hits a key followed by 3 quick strikes on a second key :

  
  
  

  Then, the "start music" action is apparently bound to a particular key on the electronic keyboard :
  
  

  
  
  

  Which kicks off the electronic metronome on the computer. Each identical-sounding beat quizzically maps to a different frequency transform :

  
  
  a one...
  
  and a two...
  
  and a three...
  

  I had no trouble believing things up to this point. But even though I didn’t understand what was going on with that frequency transform, I knew that it must have had something to do with the audio. And if the audio was the same, the visualization ought to be the same. Though, to be fair, I will concede that the first and third ticks pictured bear some mutual resemblance.

  Anyway, the software is probably real even if the keyboard interaction was stylized. Can anyone identify the software ? What about the computer ? This is perhaps the best view the video gives us :

  
  
  

  So, remember, don’t base your understanding of technology — or anything, really — on stylized media representations. Don’t even get me started on the movie "Sneakers." That had me confused about cryptography and computer security for many years.

• What, if any, guarantees are there for when `nalu_process` will be called ?

  1er août 2012, par gspr

  In particular, can a call to x264_encoder_encode return before every nalu_process callback associated to it has returned ? Someone in #x264 suggested it's settings-dependent ; I'm talking here about the "zerolatency" preset.

  If the answer to the above question is yes, then how common is it, empirically ?
