  • Ajouter notes et légendes aux images

    7 février 2011, par

    Pour pouvoir ajouter notes et légendes aux images, la première étape est d’installer le plugin "Légendes".
    Une fois le plugin activé, vous pouvez le configurer dans l’espace de configuration afin de modifier les droits de création / modification et de suppression des notes. Par défaut seuls les administrateurs du site peuvent ajouter des notes aux images.

  • Forcing ffmpeg to capture unreliable ALSA audio stream

    6 février 2015, par Peter Becich

    I am attempting to transfer some old Video 8 tapes to my computer, though an EasyCap USB stick and the motherboard’s sound line-in, on Ubuntu. I believe the arguments are correctly laid out below to capture from two independent streams, and encode them both into the output MP4 file.

    ffmpeg’s detection of the ALSA stream is seemingly goofed up by the inconsistencies of the tape. In the failure case, only short blips of the tapes audio exist in the output MP4. The audio bitrate of the output file is less than 10 kbps, averaged out across the whole file. The output video seems to be fine, even though the low frames-per-second in the failure case log below.

    The audio and video streams can be captured fine for short amounts of time before a source error occurs ; this provides the success case log. The failure case log was created by intentionally making an error in the source streams — turning on the camera makes a brief noisy signal.

    Is there a setting that needs to be forced to keep ffmpeg recording the audio stream, even when the tape is blank or noisy ?

    Could it be that the libfdk_aac audio encoder is tripped up by the low quality source ?

    The relevant line ; rawvideo stream is piped to this in script at bottom :

    ffmpeg -pixel_format uyvy422 -s:v 720x480 -framerate 29.97 -f rawvideo \
    -i $PIPE  -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -vf scale=w=720:h=540 -vcodec libx264 \
    -preset ultrafast -shortest -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -af pan=1:c0=c0  \
    -ar 96000 $OUTFILE

    The ar argument was one attempt to force recording.

    ffmpeg log file for (short-lived) success ; high frames-per-second captured :

  • ALSA buffer xrun induced by low quality source in ffmpeg capture

    24 juin 2015, par Peter Becich

    I am attempting to transfer some old Video 8 tapes to my computer, though an EasyCap USB stick and the motherboard’s sound line-in, on Ubuntu. I believe the arguments are correctly laid out below to capture from two independent streams, and encode them both into the output MP4 file.

    Edit :

    I can simplify the question a bit, now.

    ALSA buffer overrun (or underrun ?) is induced by the unreliable/noisy audio source. For instance, if ffmpeg captures the beginning of tape playback, this causes "buffer xrun" far beyond when the tape gets up to speed and playback should be normal.

    It is interesting that the bitrate shown in the ffmpeg log shoots up higher than normal when it’s producing a garbage output ! (Is this bitrate a sum of of audio and video bitrates ?)

    I’ve tried a couple of audio encoding codecs, and had the same problem.

    Using libfdk_aac :

    ffmpeg’s detection of the ALSA stream is seemingly goofed up by the inconsistencies of the tape. In the failure case, only short blips of the tapes audio exist in the output MP4. The audio bitrate of the output file is less than 10 kbps, averaged out across the whole file. The output video seems to be fine, even though the low frames-per-second in the failure case log below.

    The audio and video streams can be captured fine for short amounts of time before a source error occurs ; this provides the success case log. The failure case log was created by intentionally making an error in the source streams — turning on the camera makes a brief noisy signal.

    Is there a setting that needs to be forced to keep ffmpeg recording the audio stream, even when the tape is blank or noisy ?

    Could it be that the libfdk_aac audio encoder is tripped up by the low quality source ?

    The relevant line ; rawvideo stream is piped to this in script at bottom :

    ffmpeg -pixel_format uyvy422 -s:v 720x480 -framerate 29.97 -f rawvideo \
    -i $PIPE  -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -vf scale=w=720:h=540 -vcodec libx264 \
    -preset ultrafast -shortest -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -af pan=1:c0=c0  \
    -ar 96000 $OUTFILE

    The ar argument was one attempt to force recording.

  • OpenCv VideoWriter does no write. ffmpeg library h264 errors

    22 juillet 2012, par ar ar ar

    Hi I am using OpenCv and trying to use the VideoWriter Class.

    But I get an error.

    The error is Could not find encoder for codec id 28 : Encoder not found

    Normally it must be a ffmpeg problem. How can I check which codec is with id 28 and how can I install it ?

    I think it is causing problems to my program and I cannot get the number of frames in videos right.

    update 2: :

    I installed libavcodec-extra-53 ubuntu package and now it gives other errors.

    Any ideas why ??It seems to be pure ffmpeg problem and not OpenCv problem
