• Can I use a text file's content to create a filtered list for ffmpeg?

  20 October 2022, by Angel Lopez Jr

  I am attempting to make a CMD script that will

  


  

  1. Create a text file that lists file names followed by video codec (using ffprobe)

  


  2. Create a new text from the list so that any file with x265 codec is removed from the list (and formated as
file "*filepath*"

  


  3. Run ffmpeg on the edited list to transcode remaining files to x265.

  


  


  I have a script that does #1

  


  for /R %%f IN (*.mkv,*.avi,*.mp4,*.m2ts,*.mts,*.rm,*.m4v) do echo "%%f" >>Probe.txt & ffprobe -v error -hide_banner -of default=noprint_wrappers=0 -print_format flat  -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name "%%f" >>Probe.txt & echo.  >>Probe.txt


  


  which outputs

  


  


  "filepath"
  
streams.stream.0.codec_name="codec"

  


  "filepath"
  
streams.stream.0.codec_name="codec"

  


  


  and I have a script that will do #3

  


  for /R %%f IN (*.mkv,*.avi,*.mp4,*.m2ts,*.mts,*.rm,*.m4v) do ffmpeg -hide_banner -hwaccel_output_format qsv -i "%%f" -c:v libx265 -c:a ac3 -x265-params crf=25 "%%f.mkv"


  


  I am not sure if #2 is even possible though.

  


  End result of task 2 should be that in probe.txt, any line that has a
streams.stream.0.codec_name value of anything besides hevc will have the line immediately above it written to a new txt file with the word file in front.

  


  final goal is getting all three tasks to run under one batch file (each task running sequentially)

  


  Is there any help on what I am missing to be able to unify these and get #2 to happen

  


• Invalid data found when processing input on ffmpeg m4s to mp4 transfer

  1 March 2020, by keith scott

  The result of the power shell window

  I saw a post on here about converting m4s to mp4 and I have followed the steps of concatenating all the files into another m4s file that I called all.m4s and when I use the command ffmpeg -i allm4s.m4s -c copy video.mp4. I made the combined m4s file by coding an exe to add all the m4s files that have the word video in them to the m4s file. Here is the source code written in c# if you compile the code then that is the code I have used to make the m4s

  using System;
  
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  
  using System.Linq;
  
  using System.Text;
  
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  
  using System.IO;
  
  
  
  namespace files
  
  {
  
      class Program
  
      {
  
          static void Main(string[] args)
  
          {
  
              string dir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
  
              string[] info = Directory.GetFiles(dir);
  
              Console.WriteLine(dir + "\\allm4s.m4s");
  
              Console.ReadKey();
  
              foreach (string name in info)
  
              {
  
                  if (Path.GetFileName(name).Contains(".m4s") && Path.GetFileName(name).Contains("video"))
  
                  {
  
                      using (Stream srcStream = File.OpenRead(name))
  
                      {
  
                          using (Stream destStream = File.OpenWrite(dir+"\\allm4s.m4s"))
  
                          {
  
                              srcStream.CopyTo(destStream);
  
                              Console.WriteLine(destStream+name);
  
                          }
  
                      }
  
                  }
  
              }
  
              Console.ReadKey();
  
          }
  
      }
  
  }

  I think if there is to be an issue it is to do with this allm4s.m4s file as the file size is about 1.5mb even though each segment m4s is about 750kb each and there are quite a lot.If anyone has a way of adding concatenating lots of files together through a program/application that would be useful.

• How to add dynamic captions with animations on a video in a cross-platform Android & iOS app and export it as a final video? [closed]

  29 April, by Danial Qsk

  I'm building a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter (or React Native) where users can:

  


  Add dynamic text captions with animations over a video, similar to TikTok

  


  See these changes in real-time during video playback

  


  Export the video with the animated captions burned into the output (e.g., MP4)

  


  What I’ve implemented so far:

  


  Video playback using video_player in Flutter (or react-native-video).

  


  Captions are rendered using Canvas/UI layer during playback.

  


  Problem: While I can overlay animated text in the UI, I can't figure out how to include these in the exported video. I’m considering using FFmpeg to burn in the captions, but I’m unclear how to integrate it with the animated UI overlays or render them into a final video on both Android and iOS.

  


  What I want to achieve:

  


  Efficient way to render animated text overlays onto a video and export it as a final video file on both Android and iOS.

  


  Maintain good performance for real-time playback and smooth export.

  


  What approaches or processing pipelines could achieve this?
(For example, rendering the UI layer to an offscreen video, integrating with FFmpeg, or using native rendering techniques.)
