    14 juillet 2010, par

    Le problème du podcasting est à nouveau un problème révélateur de la normalisation des transports de données sur Internet.
    Deux formats intéressants existent : Celui développé par Apple, très axé sur l’utilisation d’iTunes dont la SPEC est ici ; Le format "Media RSS Module" qui est plus "libre" notamment soutenu par Yahoo et le logiciel Miro ;
    Types de fichiers supportés dans les flux
    Le format d’Apple n’autorise que les formats suivants dans ses flux : .mp3 audio/mpeg .m4a audio/x-m4a .mp4 (...)

  • Launching ffmpeg from inside my C code doesn't convert video stream from fifo

    13 mai 2017, par abraxas1

    (Beaglebone Black, ubuntu 16.04 linux 4.4.62-ti-r99)

    I have a raw h264 feed coming into my C program (into a callback from a custom API) and then I named-piped the raw h264 to a file and this CLI command converts that file successfully.

    ffmpeg -report -re -framerate 30 -y -f h264 -i orbi_0148.cam1.h264 -c:v copy -an -video_size 1920x1080 -f mp4 orbi_0148.cam1-1.mp4

    I then try to launch this command from my program with the same options using execv(),

    first mkfifo the fifo’s,

    then launch ffmpeg (shown below) starts the streaming form the cameras to my callback function, and out to the fifos.

    I close the fifos at the end of video recording, and don’t get any file created and get this output, which I don’t understand at all.
    (the successful command line output follows below this output generated from execv())
    thanks, any help much appreciated.
    hardware has come in now and the spot light is on me.

    (execv output with options -report -y -i /tmp/fifocam3.h264 -c:v copy -an -video_size 1920x1080 -f mp4 /media/sd-card/orbi_0140.cam3.mp4)

  • Uploading video to Twitter sometimes doesn't work

    22 juillet 2021, par K-s S-k

    I have a very difficult situation. I've already spent 2 days and couldn't find a solution. Project on Laravel. I want to upload videos to Twitter using the Twitter API endpoints. But sometimes I am getting this error :

    


    


    file is currently unsupported

    


    


    I did everything as recommended in the official documentation Video specifications and recommendations. I get an error when I set an audio codec is aac in my video file, despite the fact that it is recommended in the official documentation, but when I set the audio codec to mp3, the video is uploaded, but the sound quality is very poor, and sometimes there is no sound at all. Please forgive me if this is awkward to read, but I want to provide all of my code. Because I don't know how to solve this anymore and I think it might help.

    I would be very grateful if someone would help me.

    


  • Availability of WebM (VP8) Video Hardware IP Designs

    10 janvier 2011, par noreply@blogger.com (John Luther)

    Hello from the frigid city of Oulu, in the far north of Finland. Our WebM hardware development team, formerly part of On2 Technologies, is now up-to-speed and working hard on a number of video efforts for WebM.

    • VP8 (the video codec used in WebM) hardware decoder IP is available from Google for semiconductor companies who want to support high-quality WebM playback in their chipsets.
    • The Oulu team will release the first VP8 video hardware encoder IP in the first quarter of 2011. We have the IP running in an FPGA environment, and rigorous testing is underway. Once all features have been tested and implemented, the encoder will be launched as well.

    WebM video hardware IPs are implemented and delivered as RTL (VHDL/Verilog) source code, which is a register-level hardware description language for creating digital circuit designs. The code is based on the Hantro brand video IP from On2, which has been successfully deployed by numerous chipset companies around the world. Our designs support VP8 up to 1080p resolution and can run 30 or 60fps, depending on the foundry process and hardware clock frequency.

    The WebM/VP8 hardware decoder implementation has already been licensed to over twenty partners and is proven in silicon. We expect the first commercial chips to integrate our VP8 decoder IP to be available in the first quarter of 2011. For example, Chinese semiconductor maker Rockchip last week demonstrated full WebM hardware playback on their new RK29xx series processor at CES in Las Vegas (video below).


    Note : To view the video in WebM format, ensure that you’ve enrolled in the YouTube HTML5 trial and are using a WebM-compatible browser. You can also view the video on YouTube.

    Hardware implementations of the VP8 encoder also bring exciting possibilities for WebM in portable devices. Not only can hardware-accelerated devices play high-quality WebM content, but hardware encoding also enables high-resolution, real-time video communications apps on the same devices. For example, when VP8 video encoding is fully off-loaded to a hardware accelerator, you can run 720p or even 1080p video conferencing at full framerate on a portable device with minimal battery use.

    The WebM hardware video IP team will be focusing on further developing the VP8 hardware designs while also helping our semiconductor partners to implement WebM video compression in their chipsets. If you have any questions, please visit our Hardware page.

    Happy New Year to the WebM community !
