• Still can't install pygame on ubuntu

  1 October 2016, by brotheroflogan

  I’ve tried three different ways. The most recent was following instructions here: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileUbuntu

  But when I type in the first line

  sudo apt-get install mercurial python-dev python-numpy ffmpeg \

  I am told that

  E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate.

  I continue on with the instructions and I am later told that some of the dependencies are missing (even though those are the ones I had attempted to install moments ago).

  Then when I put in

  sudo python3 setup.py install

  it tells me

  src/_pygame.h:80:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
  
   #include 
  
                      ^
  
  compilation terminated.
  
  error: command 'i686-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

• ffmpeg Error: Pattern type 'glob' was selected but globbing is not support ed by this libavformat build

  14 September 2017, by Aryan Naim

  I’m trying to convert group of ".jpg" files acting as individual frames into 1 single mpeg video ".mp4"

  Example parameters i used:

  frame duration  = 2 secs
  
  frame rate      = 30  fps
  
  encoder         = libx264 (mpeg)
  
  input pattern   = "*.jpg"
  
  output pattern  = video.mp4

  Based on ffmpeg wiki instructions at (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20video%20slideshow%20from%20images), I issued this command:

  ffmpeg -framerate 1/2 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4

  But I’m getting this error:

  [image2 @ 049ab120] Pattern type 'glob' was selected but globbing is not 
  
  supported by this libavformat build *.jpg: Function not implemented

  Which probably means the API pattern matching commands for my build/version have changed. By the way this my windows 32bit ffmpeg download build (ffmpeg-20150702-git-03b2b40-win32-static).

  How can I choose a group of files using pattern matching using ffmpeg?

• ffmpeg: concat videos and images

  23 May 2016, by Yosko

  I have 2 videos (same resolution, same encoding) files that I want to concat and I want to insert some text for 3 seconds between them, as a splitter. I’m doing this with ffmpeg on Windows.

  Optional ideas that I would be interested in:

  • avoid reencoding the video in the process
  • having a fade in / fade out at the intersection of each part

  For now, I made the text as an image (but I am open to other suggestions). Let’s say I have:

  • video1.mp4: 6:33
  • splitter.png (same resolution as video1.mp4)
  • video2.mp4: 16:44

  I have tried a few things, but I always end up with the same problem: the video is 23:20 (video1 + 3 seconds + video2), but the 3 seconds gap is just the last video1 frame frozen instead of my image/text...

  Any Idea what I did wrong or how I should achieve this?

  Here is what I tried so far:

  Method 1: image to video

  Turn the image into a 3 seconds mp4 film, then concat (demuxer) it with the others:

  ffmpeg -loop 1 -f image2 -i splitter.png -r 30 -t 3 splitter.mp4
  
  ffmpeg -f concat -i input.txt -codec copy output.mp4

  Where the input.txt looks like:

  file 'E:\video1.mp4'
  
  file 'E:\splitter.mp4'
  
  file 'E:\video2.mp4'

  The content of splitter.png is visible in the splitter.mp4, but not in the output.mp4. Also I’m not entirely sure the splitter.mp4 respects the exact same encoding as the 2 videos, and I don’t know how to verify that.

  Method 2: insert image frames

  Directly run the concat (demuxer) 90 times (30fps -> 3 seconds) on the image

  ffmpeg -f concat -i input.txt -codec copy output.mp4

  Where the input.txt looks like:

  file 'E:\video1.mp4'
  
  file 'E:\splitter.png'
  
  ...
  
  file 'E:\splitter.png'
  
  file 'E:\video2.mp4'

  Edit: possible solution?

  Since all I’m doing is screencasting, I might as well screencast my splitter image. This way I would be sure of the audio & video encoding and wouldn’t have any problem merging and it wouldn’t need any reencoding... I know it might sound dumb, but it would probably do the trick...

  Note: I didn’t have try it, since I already worked through Openshot.
