• How to convert CODEC of all videos in a folder from "Codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hev1)" to "Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)" [closed]

  19 May 2024, by user25123807

  I've downloaded shows and cant get them to play on TV as the codec is not supported. H264 is a compatible codec. I have noted the codec of the videos I currently have (H256), and the codec which is compatible (264). I need help converting in bulk, all videos in a folder to the compatible codec - H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1).

  


  please help

  


  i have ffmpeg.

  


  I have tried changing the file type from mkv —> mp4 but the issue is the codec. I need help bulk converting the codec (265—>264). All the videos I am trying to convert to 264 are .mp4 videos.

  


• FFmpeg "movflags" > "faststart" causes invalid MP4 file to be written

  22 August 2016, by williamtroup

  I’m setting up the format layout for the video as follows:

  AVOutputFormat* outputFormat = ffmpeg.av_guess_format(null, "output.mp4", null);
  
  
  
  AVCodec* videoCodec = ffmpeg.avcodec_find_encoder(outputFormat->video_codec);
  
  
  
  AVFormatContext* formatContext = ffmpeg.avformat_alloc_context();
  
  formatContext->oformat = outputFormat;
  
  formatContext->video_codec_id = videoCodec->id;
  
  
  
  ffmpeg.avformat_new_stream(formatContext, videoCodec);

  This is how I am setting up the Codec Context:

  AVCodecContext* codecContext = ffmpeg.avcodec_alloc_context3(videoCodec);
  
  codecContext->bit_rate = 400000;
  
  codecContext->width = 1280;
  
  codecContext->height = 720;
  
  codecContext->gop_size = 12;
  
  codecContext->max_b_frames = 1;
  
  codecContext->pix_fmt = videoCodec->pix_fmts[0];
  
  codecContext->codec_id = videoCodec->id;
  
  codecContext->codec_type = videoCodec->type;
  
  codecContext->time_base = new AVRational
  
  {
  
      num = 1,
  
      den = 30
  
  };

  I’m using the following code to setup the "movflags" > "faststart" option for the header of the video:

  AVDictionary* options = null;
  
  
  
  int result = ffmpeg.av_dict_set(&options, "movflags", "faststart", 0);
  
  
  
  int writeHeaderResult = ffmpeg.avformat_write_header(formatContext, &options);

  The file is opened and the header is written as follows:

  if ((formatContext->oformat->flags & ffmpeg.AVFMT_NOFILE) == 0)
  
  {
  
      int ioOptionResult = ffmpeg.avio_open(&formatContext->pb, "output.mp4", ffmpeg.AVIO_FLAG_WRITE);
  
  }
  
  
  
  int writeHeaderResult = ffmpeg.avformat_write_header(formatContext, &options);

  After this, I write each video frame as follows:

  outputFrame->pts = frameIndex;
  
  
  
  packet.flags |= ffmpeg.AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY;
  
  packet.pts = frameIndex;
  
  packet.dts = frameIndex;
  
  
  
  int encodedFrame = 0;
  
  int encodeVideoResult = ffmpeg.avcodec_encode_video2(codecContext, &packet, outputFrame, &encodedFrame);
  
  
  
  if (encodedFrame != 0)
  
  {
  
      packet.pts = ffmpeg.av_rescale_q(packet.pts, codecContext->time_base, m_videoStream->time_base);
  
      packet.dts = ffmpeg.av_rescale_q(packet.dts, codecContext->time_base, m_videoStream->time_base);
  
      packet.stream_index = m_videoStream->index;
  
  
  
      if (codecContext->coded_frame->key_frame > 0)
  
      {
  
          packet.flags |= ffmpeg.AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY;
  
      }
  
  
  
      int writeFrameResult = ffmpeg.av_interleaved_write_frame(formatContext, &packet);
  
  }

  After that, I write the trailer:

  int writeTrailerResult = ffmpeg.av_write_trailer(formatContext);

  The file finishes writing and everything closes and frees up correctly. However, the MP4 file is unplayable (even VLC cant play it). AtomicParsley.exe won’t show any information about the file either.

  The DLLs used for the AutoGen library are:

  avcodec-56.dll
  
  avdevice-56.dll
  
  avfilter-5.dll
  
  avformat-56.dll
  
  avutil-54.dll
  
  postproc-53.dll
