• Linking PHP audio and video uploads to FFMPEG on a linux server

  21 janvier 2016, par user5399793

  I host a site on a Linux server that I built with php where I am able to upload audio files in one section and video files to another. Each section uses php to upload a single audio file and a single video file. Each upload is assigned a unique filename so they can be viewed separately on an individual page where the uploader can post comments about their audio or video. I want to be able to allow musicians and performers in the local area display their work. The site works, but large video files do not upload and my audio player only plays a few formats, and I like to convert them all to mp3’s. I installed ffmpeg on my linux server to help me with this and am able to connect to it with my terminal. My question is how do I get ffmpeg to interface with my uploaded php files. For example, as the user uploads an audio file, can I have ffmpeg convert it while it’s uploading, or do I need to set up a temporary folder for uploads, store it there, then have ffmpeg compress the file, convert it to a specific format and save it in another folder ? I would prefer to have it compress and change the format while it’s uploading so as not to use server space, but if this is not the way ffmpeg works, then I don’t have a choice. Any help would be appreciated.

• Compressing videos from a smartphone

  21 septembre 2019, par fejesjoco

  I have a Nexus 6p with the stock camera. It’s set to record at 1080p, 30fps. Here’s a 5 second sample (11 MB).

  Videos from this phone come out at about 17 Mbps on average. I tried to compress it with ffmpeg with -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset veryslow, the result comes out at about 5.5 MB, which is about 9 Mbps.

  I think this bitrate is a bit too much. When I look at torrent file listings, I can see high quality videos at 3 GB in size on average, and if such a movie is 90 minutes long on average, that is about 4-5 Mbps which sounds okay.

  I’m wondering, why the big difference ? I can notice that my video is noisy/grainy (which is expected from a phone), and that might reduce compressibility. I tried a few ffmpeg filters, like hqdn3d and atadenoise, but the noise mostly remained (maybe I didn’t play with it enough). Then I figured, the video is also shaky (which is also expected), and that might reduce compressibility too (and even makes temporal noise filtering less effective). I tried to stabilize it with the deshake filter, but that didn’t help either.

  I know I could just limit the bandwidth to whatever I like, but there must be a reason why ffmpeg thinks it needs a high bandwidth to maintain a certain quality, and a lower bandwidth would just decrease the quality.

  Why do these videos have such a high bitrate ? What’s the best way to compress them more while keeping or even increasing their quality ?
