• Electron ffmpeg integration

  27 April 2017, by Raider Dave

  I am in way over my head here. I am normally a coldfusion/javascript/jquery developer but now have taken on a task that assumes I know more than I do.

  I am trying to write an application in electron that will allow me to select a group of video files and convert them to mp4 files while also compressing them. The files are football plays and a normal game consists of about 160 plays and 18gb. We need to compress these down to about 4gb. I have used programs like Prism to do this, but the intended users are not technically savvy nor do they all have windows - some have Macs.

  I have an electron project that I have started and got the first part to work. I can start the app and select the input files. But I have tried all kinds of different solutions found online to call ffmpeg and pass it the parms to convert a file. Is there an easy way to call ffmpeg with parms and then wait for it to finish before continuing?

  I am on Windows 10 but will also need to run on Apple OS. Please, if you have a simple example of how to do this, I would appreciate it.

  Thanks!

• ffmpeg - extract timecode start metadata from tmcd track to a drawtext filter

  3 March 2015, by mwjb

  I have a Quicktime file with a timecode track. I’m encoding it to a new video codec and would like to burnin the timecode from timecode track. Setting the timecode manually isn’t an option as this will be used for many files with unique starting timecodes.

  This is the current work-in-progress ffmpeg command. Obviously I need to find a way to extract the metadate:timecode value and have this start the timecode count instead of the manual entry seen below:

  ffmpeg -i infile.mov -y -c:v mjpeg -qscale:v 4 -vendor ap10 -pix_fmt yuvj422p -s 1280x720 -vf drawtext="fontfile=thefont.ttf: timecode='01\:00\:00\:00': rate=24: fontsize=40: fontcolor=white: boxcolor=black: box=1: x=1700: y=80" outfile.mov

  The Timecode metadata is there in the Stream #0:1 track, as read by ffmpeg:

  I came across this post ffmpeg and timecode from movie metadata which appeared to be on the same sort of track as I’m on. Would certainly appreciate some guidance on this. Many Thanks.
