• Compressing videos from a smartphone

  21 septembre 2019, par fejesjoco

  I have a Nexus 6p with the stock camera. It’s set to record at 1080p, 30fps. Here’s a 5 second sample (11 MB).

  Videos from this phone come out at about 17 Mbps on average. I tried to compress it with ffmpeg with -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset veryslow, the result comes out at about 5.5 MB, which is about 9 Mbps.

  I think this bitrate is a bit too much. When I look at torrent file listings, I can see high quality videos at 3 GB in size on average, and if such a movie is 90 minutes long on average, that is about 4-5 Mbps which sounds okay.

  I’m wondering, why the big difference ? I can notice that my video is noisy/grainy (which is expected from a phone), and that might reduce compressibility. I tried a few ffmpeg filters, like hqdn3d and atadenoise, but the noise mostly remained (maybe I didn’t play with it enough). Then I figured, the video is also shaky (which is also expected), and that might reduce compressibility too (and even makes temporal noise filtering less effective). I tried to stabilize it with the deshake filter, but that didn’t help either.

  I know I could just limit the bandwidth to whatever I like, but there must be a reason why ffmpeg thinks it needs a high bandwidth to maintain a certain quality, and a lower bandwidth would just decrease the quality.

  Why do these videos have such a high bitrate ? What’s the best way to compress them more while keeping or even increasing their quality ?

• Does anybody have experience in embedding ffmpeg in a macOS application for the App Store ? Has anybody had his application rejected for this reason ?

  31 octobre 2020, par Alfonso Tesauro

  I am developing a tool for macOS that needs some basic audio editing, and the simplest way to achieve this is to embed ffmpeg in the application binary and call it with NSTask. Of course, I resigned ffmpeg with my identity and the entitlements to inherit the host application's sandbox. Has anybody tried this with success ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
