• Is there an efficient way to use ffmpeg to create a huge quantity of small video file, cut from a larger one ?

  9 mars 2024, par Giuliano Oliveri

  I'm trying to cut video files into smaller chunks. (each one being one word said in the video, so they're not all of equal size)

  


  I've tried a lot of different approaches to try to be as efficient as possible, but I can't get the runtime to be under 2/3rd of the original video length. That's an issue because I'm trying to process 400+ hours of video.

  


  Is there a more efficient way to do this ? Or am I doomed to run this for weeks ?

  


  Here is the command for my best attempt so far

  


  ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -ss start_timestamp -t to_timestamp -i file_name -vf "fps=30,scale_cuda=1280:720" -c:v h264_nvenc -y output_file


  


  Note that the machine running the code has a 4090
This command is then executed via python, which gives it the right timestamps and file paths for each smaller clip in a for loop

  


  I think it's wasting a lot of time calling a new process each time, however I haven't been able to get better results with a split filter ; but here's the ffmpeg-python code for that attempt :

  


  Creation of the stream :

  


  inp = (
    ffmpeg
    .input(file_name, hwaccel="cuda", hwaccel_output_format="cuda")
    .filter("fps",fps=30)
    .filter('scale_cuda', '1280','720')
    .filter_multi_output('split')
)


  


  Which then gets called in a for loop

  


  (
    ffmpeg
    .filter(inp, 'trim', start=row[1]['start'], end=row[1]['end'])
    .filter('setpts', 'PTS-STARTPTS')
    .output(output_file,vcodec='h264_nvenc')
    .run()
)

• HEVC : Fetching the input width and height from input bin stream

  1er juillet 2022, par Zax

  I have created an elementary bin stream using HM-12.0 reference code. So the out put is an HEVC encoded bin stream (say input.bin).

  



  I have a task which involves reading the header of this elementary stream. That is i need to fetch information such a the stream width, height etc. from the input.bin file.

  



  After seeing a lots of streams, i can conclude that all these bin streams starts from the sequence :

  



  00 00 00 01


  



  So whenever i see this sequence in any bin stream, i can say that this stream has to be decoded by HEVC decoder.

  



  Further if i want to fetch the width, height, fps etc. from the input.bin (like ff_raw_video_read_header function in ffmpeg), that are the steps need to be performed to fetch this information ?

  



  I have gone through the parsing section of the HEVC draft, but its very complicated for my level in video domain. Can anyone suggest a simple way to fetch the required information from the encoded bin file ?

  



  Any suggestions will be really helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
