• Transcode video using the output format of another video in ffmpeg [closed]

  8 février 2013, par Nick

  I would like to convert videos to the same format as an arbitrary file. This format is not fixed. This "template" file should not be modified.

  Rather than setting the command line options manually each time, is there a way to specify one video as the input, another video as the output format, and then output all that to another file ?

  I don't see anything in the docs about this, but maybe I'm searching using the wrong terms. I'm using OS X, but can use any of the GNU tools as well.

• What options are available for speeding up video load times on a webpage when video is hosted on IPFS

  10 août 2022, par Ryan D

  I have a site that pulls videos hosted on IPFS (Interplanetary File System), most of the videos load and play fine but if a user doesn't have a strong internet connection or if a larger video, it constantly buffer's and play's choppy.

  


  Since the video isn't hosted on my server i'm not sure what options I have to help speed the load times up. The original video is uploaded to my site though and I pass it to IPFS to upload directly. I don't currently download it to my server first to speed up the uploading process, or so the user doesn't need to wait for a double upload.

  


  I know youTube has a compression algorithm and does something with chopping up the video into chunks or something but i'm not sure exactly how that works. Im not very experienced with video codec and encoding. Ive heard good things about FFmpeg but not sure if that would help my current situation.

  


  Any ideas or tools I should look into that may help me out would be appreciated. For larger videos I could download to my server first if theres a compression mechanism or something I could apply first to help the overall load times of the site although not ideal for the user uploading.

  


  Im using videoJS for my video player with preload set to auto if that helps at all.

  


  <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" class="video-js video" poster="{Image URL}">&#xA;    <source src="{IPFS URL}" type="video/mp4">&#xA;</source></video>&#xA;

  


  Options im currently using

  


  Load the video after the DOM has loaded to not slow down page loads

  


  Preload the video

  


  


  


  Although I don't think that does much.

  


  Other than that I don't know what else I can do. Im good with PHP and or Javascript to handle this task if theres something I should look into.

  


  Thanks !

  


• FireFox Video throws warning but video actually works ?

  21 février 2021, par SdBill
  

  • OS : Ubuntu 18.04

  


  • FF : 85.0.1

  


  • Error/warning : Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats : video/mp4, video/mp4

  


  


  Same error for video/ogg

  


  Here are my questions : 1) The video still plays fine once loaded, and there is no error in Chrome or Chromium. Why does the video work fine after loading but throws the error on load ? 2) Is there anything that can be done without re-encoding over 2 gigs of video ?

  


  Context : this is an old no-profit site that used Flash for video and we really don't want to throw a lot of time at, but there are gigs of videos. I converted all .flv files and .mpg files to .mp4 using the most simple of ffmpeg commands, examples :

  


  ffmpeg -i video-source.flv video-source.mp4
ffmpeg -i video-source.mpg video-source.mp4
ffmpeg -i video-source.mpg video-source.ogg


  


  As I watched the ffmpeg output, it looked to me like the codec was H264 (at least, I think that is what I am seeing, not a video expert.)

  


  Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> theora (libtheora))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac (native) -> vorbis (libvorbis))


  


  Server response in a direct request to the mp4 files is

  


  Content-Type
    video/mp4


  


  I have seen the documentation and posts on fragmented mp4 and if re-encoding is the only option, we're probably going to abandon as it does play once loaded.

  


  Code is simplistic, using an html5 doctype :

  


    <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">&#xA;   <source src="/images/video/mp4/video-source.mp4" type="video/mp4">&#xA;   <source src="/images/video/ogg/video-source.ogg" type="video/ogg">&#xA;   Your browser does not support the video tag.&#xA;  </source></source></video>&#xA;

  


  Is the only option here to pander to FireFox and re-encode everything since as mentioned, it plays fine once loaded and throws no error in Chrome ?
