  Changed Paths: Modify /vp9/common/blockd.h Modify /vp9/common/mvref_common.c Restrict ref mv search range. Experiment to test speed trade off of reducing the extent of the ref mv search. Reducing the maximum number of tested candidates to 9 had minimal net effect on quality in any of the tests (...)

• ffmpeg concatenating videos of different fps while keeping the total length not changed

  23 November 2017, by A_Matar

  I wanna pad an mp4 video stream with another video clip of a static image that I created using:

  def generate_white_vid (duration):
  
      output_filename = os.path.join(p_path,'white_vid_'+" 0:.2f}".format(duration)+'.mp4')
  
      ffmpeg_create_vid_from_static_img = 'ffmpeg -loop 1 -i /path/WhiteBackground.jpg -c:v libx264 -t %f -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=1920:1080 %s' % (duration, output_filename)
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_create_vid_from_static_img, shell=True)
  
      p.communicate()
  
      return output_filename

  I use the following to concatenate:

  def concat_vids(clip_paths):
  
      filenames_txt = open('clips_to_join.txt','w')
  
      for clip in clip_paths:
  
          filenames_txt.write ('file \''+ clip+'\'\n')
  
      filenames_txt.close()
  
      output_filename = clip_paths[0].split('.', 2)[0]
  
      output_file_path = os.path.join(root_path, output_filename+'-padded.mp4')
  
      # join the clips
  
      ffmpeg_command = ["ffmpeg", "-f", "concat", "-safe", "0", "-i", "clips_to_join.txt", "-codec", "copy", output_file_path] # output_filename = ch0X-start_time-end_time
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_command)
  
      p.communicate() # wait till the subprocess finishes. You can send commands to process as well.
  
      return output_file_path

  When I check the length of the resulting video after concatenation, I find that it is not equal to the sum of the two segments that I concatenated, and sometimes it is even less by some seconds!!

  Here is how I get the video length in seconds:

  def ffmpeg_len(vid_path):
  
      '''
  
      Returns length in seconds using ffmpeg
  
      '''
  
      ffmpeg_get_mediafile_length = ['sh', '-c', 'ffmpeg -i "$1" 2>&1 | grep Duration', '_', vid_path]
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_get_mediafile_length, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)    
  
      output, err = p.communicate()
  
      length_regexp = 'Duration: (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})(\.\d+),'
  
      re_length = re.compile(length_regexp)
  
      matches = re_length.search(output)
  
      if matches:
  
          video_length = int(matches.group(1)) * 3600 + \
  
                          int(matches.group(2)) * 60 + \
  
                          int(matches.group(3)) + float(matches.group(4))
  
          return video_length
  
      else:
  
          print("Can't determine video length.")
  
          print err
  
          raise SystemExit

  My guess is that maybe the concatenation unifies the fps rate for the all the clips to be joined, if this is the case, how to prevent this from happening? How can I get a video of the desired length exactly.

  Maybe it worth mentioning that the video to padded is very short 0.42 second, the original video is 210.58 and the resultant video is 210.56!

  I have verified that ffmpeg does generate the desired padding region and it is of the desired length 0.42 I got a 0.43 segment when I forced 30 fps but it is okay.
