• FFmpeg autogen in combination with openh264

  23 juin 2018, par grill2010

  I’m using FFmpeg autogen to stream images captured from the PC in realtime (60 or 30 fps) to an Android application. Everything is working perfectly as I used the h.264 encoding example provided by FFmpeg autogen.

  As far as I have understood FFmpeg autogen is under the LGPL licence and if you are using custom FFmpeg libs compiled under LGPL licence like for example ffmpeg-win32 you can dynamically link to the FFmpeg autogen library without violating the LGPL licence if your project is for example closed source.

  So I thought everything would be okay but then I figured out the the h.264 coded is patented in the US and MPEG LA represents the patent holders of AVC/H.264 technologies. If you are using it for free videos you can use h.264 codecs without paying royalties. Nevertheless, my Windows program which is using the encoder is free but my Android application is not free so I guess I have to pay royalties.

  I have a few questions regarding this issue :

  1. Which encoder does the FFmpeg autogen use, because as far as I know x264 is under GPL licence. I assume that it will use some internal FFmpeg software encoder ?

  2. You can’t use any built in standard encoder from FFmpeg (x264 etc.) in projects which don’t offer their encoded video stream for free without the need of paying royalties, right ?

  3. After some researches I found openh264. This library is built by cisco and they will pay all the royalties but you are not allowed to bundle it with your application, it must be downloaded during the installation process. It also works with FFmpeg but how to I get it to work with FFmpeg autogen ? Do I need a custom FFmpeg build which are using the openh264 lib from cisco ?

  I know this is not a lawyer forum but maybe someone has already dealt with all this issues or could at least answer the questions about FFmpeg autogen. I’ve searched a while now on the internet but unfortunately it seems that the licencing mechanism with h.264 is not so easy to understand.

• opus : add a native Opus encoder

  opus : add a native Opus encoder
  This marks the first time anyone has written an Opus encoder without
  
  using any libopus code. The aim of the encoder is to prove how far
  
  the format can go by writing the craziest encoder for it.
  Right now the encoder’s basic, it only supports CBR encoding, however
  
  internally every single feature the CELT layer has is implemented
  
  (except the pitch pre-filter which needs to work well with the rest of
  
  whatever gets implemented). Psychoacoustic and rate control systems are
  
  under development.
  The encoder takes in frames of 120 samples and depending on the value of
  
  opus_delay the plan is to use the extra buffered frames as lookahead.
  
  Right now the encoder will pick the nearest largest legal frame size and
  
  won’t use the lookahead, but that’ll change once there’s a
  
  psychoacoustic system.
  Even though its a pretty basic encoder its already outperforming
  
  any other native encoder FFmpeg has by a huge amount.
  The PVQ search algorithm is faster and more accurate than libopus’s
  
  algorithm so the encoder’s performance is close to that of libopus
  
  at zero complexity (libopus has more SIMD).
  
  The algorithm might be ported to libopus or other codecs using PVQ in
  
  the future.
  The encoder still has a few minor bugs, like desyncs at ultra low
  
  bitrates (below 9kbps with 20ms frames).

• Split video with ffmpeg segment option is missing frame

  9 février 2024, par Dan

  I’m trying to get the ffmpeg “segment” option to split my video into segments at the Iframes. I'm using ffmpeg V6.1.1.

  


  First I added time stamps to each frame of my video so that when it plays, I can see exactly which frame is being displayed. I used this command :

  


  ffmpeg -i In.mp4 -vf "drawtext=fontfile='C :\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf' : text='%frame_num :~ %pts':fontsize=200 : r=25 : x=(w-tw)/2 : y=h-(2*lh) : fontcolor=white : box=1 : boxcolor=0x00000099" -y Out.mp4

  


  Then I used ffprobe to confirm that the video is 30 FPS and the Iframes are as follows :

  


  0.000000
4.933333
10.000000
11.533333
18.866667
24.966667

  


  Based on these Iframe times, I’d expect the following segments :

  


  





  


  


  


  


  


  


  



  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  


  Start Frame	Start Time	End Frame	End Time
  0	0	147	4.900000
  148	4.933333	299	9.966667
  300	10.000000	345	11.500000
  346	11.533333	565	18.833334
  566	18.866667	748	24.933334
  749	24.966667	867	28.906667

  


  


  When I use ffmpeg to split the video into segments with the following command, I get six files as expected :

  


  ffmpeg -i Out.mp4 -f segment -c copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 "Out %d.mp4"

  


  When I play the segments, they are all correct except the first segment file (Out 0.mp4). It seems to be missing the last frame. It contains frames 0 to 146 (4.866667 sec) but should also include frame 147 (4.9 sec). All the other segment files are as expected.

  


  I’ve tried this on several different mp4 videos and they all are missing the last frame on the first segments.

  


  Any idea why my first segment files is missing the last frame of the segment ?

  


  Could this be an ffmpeg bug ?

  


  Thanks for the help !
Dan

  


  Here is my console session with all output :
