• ALSA buffer xrun induced by low quality source in ffmpeg capture

  8 janvier 2021, par Peter Becich

  I am attempting to transfer some old Video 8 tapes to my computer, though an EasyCap USB stick and the motherboard's sound line-in, on Ubuntu. I believe the arguments are correctly laid out below to capture from two independent streams, and encode them both into the output MP4 file.

  



  Edit :

  



  I can simplify the question a bit, now.

  



  ALSA buffer overrun (or underrun ?) is induced by the unreliable/noisy audio source. For instance, if ffmpeg captures the beginning of tape playback, this causes "buffer xrun" far beyond when the tape gets up to speed and playback should be normal.

  



  It is interesting that the bitrate shown in the ffmpeg log shoots up higher than normal when it's producing a garbage output ! (Is this bitrate a sum of of audio and video bitrates ?)

  



  I've tried a couple of audio encoding codecs, and had the same problem.

  



  Using libfdk_aac :

  ffmpeg's detection of the ALSA stream is seemingly goofed up by the inconsistencies of the tape. In the failure case, only short blips of the tapes audio exist in the output MP4. The audio bitrate of the output file is less than 10 kbps, averaged out across the whole file. The output video seems to be fine, even though the low frames-per-second in the failure case log below.

  



  The audio and video streams can be captured fine for short amounts of time before a source error occurs ; this provides the success case log. The failure case log was created by intentionally making an error in the source streams — turning on the camera makes a brief noisy signal.

  



  Is there a setting that needs to be forced to keep ffmpeg recording the audio stream, even when the tape is blank or noisy ?

  



  Could it be that the libfdk_aac audio encoder is tripped up by the low quality source ?

  



  The relevant line ; rawvideo stream is piped to this in script at bottom :

  



  ffmpeg -pixel_format uyvy422 -s:v 720x480 -framerate 29.97 -f rawvideo \
-i $PIPE  -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -vf scale=w=720:h=540 -vcodec libx264 \
-preset ultrafast -shortest -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -af pan=1:c0=c0  \
-ar 96000 $OUTFILE


  



  The ar argument was one attempt to force recording.

  



  ffmpeg log file for (short-lived) success ; high frames-per-second captured :

• FFMPEG changes speed when concat 2 or more different videos

  13 novembre 2020, par Daniel Santos Neto

  I am using this code

  


  ffmpeg   -y  -re -i "/myvideos/countdown10.mp4"   -re -i "/myvideos/video_218.mp4"  -re -i "/myvideos/video_220.mp4"   -re -i "/myvideos/video_221.mp4"  -re -i "/myvideos/video_222.mp4"   -re -i "/myvideos/countdown10.mp4"  -re -i '/myvideos/watermark.png'  -filter_complex " [0:v] [0:a]   [1:v] [1:a]   [2:v] [2:a]   [3:v] [3:a]   [4:v] [4:a]   [5:v] [5:a]  concat=n=6:v=1:a=1:unsafe=1 [vv] [a]; [vv][6:v]overlay=W-w-0:0[v]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]"  -preset veryfast -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -strict -2 -max_muxing_queue_size 1024 -y -s 1280x720  -ar 44100 -f flv rtmp://server/live/5fa3731d4f8a6_159


  


  the problem is, when I run it the process speed is a lot faster then the videos length, so I got disconnected from my livestream before the live finishes.

  


  I guess it is something related to the bit rates.

  


  also I notice depends on what video is transcoding the speed floats between 0.9x and 3.7x

  


  frame= 4481 fps= 76 q=-1.0 Lsize= 16857kB time=00:03:13.21 bitrate= 714.7kbits/s dup=0 drop=393 speed=3.29x

  Also here is a video where you can see the process

  


  https://tutorials.avideo.com/video/102/ffmpeg-changes-speed-when-concat-2-or-more-different-videos

  


  this live should have exactly 40 seconds but finishes before then that

  


  also look at this time position https://tutorials.avideo.com/video/102/ffmpeg-changes-speed-when-concat-2-or-more-different-videos?t=12

  


  the speed changes from speed=0.9 to speed=1.9

  


  speed=0.9 to speed=1.9

• How to increase conversions to meet your business goals

  8 septembre 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Analytics Tips, Marketing
   Through optimizing your messaging, content, or your page layouts, you can increase conversions by getting your visitors through a clear pathway to achieve your business goals.

  Conversion Rate Optimization

  When we talk about optimizing websites to improve and increase conversions, we’re really talking about conversion rate optimization (CRO).

  CRO is the process of learning what the most valuable content/aspect of your website is and how to best optimize this for your visitors to increase its chance to convert. It typically involves generating ideas for elements on your site or app that can be improved, learning which pathways visitors are most likely going to take to conversion and then validating those assumptions through A/B testing and multivariate testing to transform learning into actionable insights.

  Conversion Rate

  The conversion rate is expressed as a % and the goal for any business should be to increase the % of conversions for any given goal e.g. in February a website had 200 newsletter sign-ups from 1,000 visitors on its sign-up page, a conversion rate of 20%. CRO should be used to increase the sign-up rate from 20% to 25%, and then eventually from 25% to 30% and so on.

  CRO cheat sheet

  You need to consider your website or business’ objectives (bigger picture) as well as your website goals (smaller achievements). Whatever the aim of your website, it’s crucial for this to be your starting point. Figure out what you want your website to do and what you want visitors to get from it. When you do that, you’ll know what conversions to focus on.
  

  • Define your business/website’s objectives. Do you want the website to drive sales ? Is the website a hub to raise awareness for a charity ? Do you want to increase readership for your news site ?
  • Define what your conversion goals are. This helps you narrow your focus so you follow a path to meet your overall objectives. By defining these, you clarify for yourself the next actions you should take, such as wanting to funnel users through to a sign up landing page. Then you’ll need to optimize and test your sign up landing page. If conversions are low, then tweak it and measure the results until you find you’ve increased conversion rates.
  • Conversion goals can include :
    • Purchases in your ecommerce store
    • eBook downloads
    • Sign ups to your mailing list
    • Visitors successfully filling in a contact form
  • Figure out what your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are and the metrics you need to focus on to achieve them.

  How to increase conversions with Matomo

  1. Set goals
  2. Heatmaps
  3. Session Recordings
  4. A/B test
  5. Form Analytics
  6. Funnels
  7. Behaviour

  1. Set goals

  “Make Sure Goals Are Clearly Understood. To prove the value of an analytics-focused company, any project you take on needs to have clear goals. If you don’t have a goal in mind you’ll fail. Everyone involved in the project needs to be aligned around the goals.”

  A goal is the measure of a successful action that you want your visitors to take. The more goals you track, the more you can learn about behavioural changes as you implement and modify paths that lead to conversions over time.

  

  You’ll understand which channels and campaigns (SEO, PPC, newsletter, blogging etc.) are converting the best for your business, which cities/countries are most popular, what devices are working and how engaged your visitors are before converting. Learn more

  2. Set Heatmaps

  This is vital to show how your visitors are engaging with your website, blog pages, signup and sales pages. If you want to learn how your visitors really engage with your website to increase conversions, Heatmaps lets you see the results visually without any guesswork.

  

  By showing where your visitors try to click, move the mouse or how far down they’re scrolling on each page, you can effortlessly discover how your visitors truly engage with your most important web pages. Rather than guessing, rely on facts to prove if the changes you make actually improve your website or not. Learn more

  How to improve conversion rates with Heatmaps :

  • If you’ve got important information that will sell your service/product or bring you loyal followers, make sure it’s in the hot zones as shown in your heatmaps.
  • Try to rearrange parts of your pages to see if that increases engagement.
  • Make it easy for people to take important actions by having the CTA above-the-fold where 100% of visitors see it. Make sure you don’t clutter this section with too many messages or actions.
  • You can also identify areas to add links as heatmaps shows where people want to click.
  • Find what content is most popular on the page

  3. Session Recordings

  This is a conversion research technique where you learn what your users are trying to do and make sure your website is optimized to give them what they want. With Session Recordings you can playback all the interactions your visitors took on your website, such as clicks, mouse movements, scrolls, resizes, form interactions and page changes in a video. Truly understand how real visitors are using your website and what experiences they’re having.

  Also, by understanding what’s working you’re increasing the usability of your website, Session Recordings allow you to identify problem areas as well as where users are getting stuck. Learn more

  

  How to improve conversion rates with Session Recordings : For example, on a product landing page, you see your visitor highlighting specific words and putting it into search. With this you can observe what they’re trying to find and what they’re actually interested in. As you tweak the page to ensure what the visitor wants can be easily found, you’re taking steps to increase the chance for more conversions.

  4. A/B Testing

  Test anything and test anywhere to increase your conversions. Grow your website by comparing different versions of your landing pages to determine what works best for your users. Subtle tweaks across different versions of your landing pages can have a significant impact on converting incoming traffic.

  

  The changes for each landing page could be :

  • A different headline
  • Less copy vs more copy
  • Different calls-to-action
  • Colour schemes, forms, fonts, links, testimonials,
  • Or, it could be an entirely different page layout altogether.

  The idea is to see if either page A or page B (or C or D) was most successful in getting your visitors to the next step in the conversion funnel. Learn more

  How Matomo used A/B Testing : For our sign up page we tested three different CTAs and found how phrasing words differently could help improve conversion rates. Both “Start improving your websites” and “Start converting more users now” were stronger CTAs and converted 7% more than, “Start my free 30-day trial”.

  5. Form Analytics

  Form Analytics gives you powerful insights into how your visitors interact with your forms (like cart, sign-up and checkout forms).

  

  Online forms can come in thousands of different variations. It’s an area on your website that if not done right, could lead to you missing out on converting a large portion of your visitors. Rely on facts when you change your forms. Learn more

  How to improve conversion rates with Form Analytics : By proving whether your form is doing better when you change it and by how much. This lets you consistently increase form submission rates (conversions) on your website which is crucial to the success of your business.

  • Constantly test and learn what content resonates with your visitors
  • Look to advance more users through each stage of the conversion funnel
  • Improve your forms to increase submission rates
  • Always improve the conversion rate % for your goals e.g. if you currently have a 5% conversion rate for selling a product, aim for 10% ; if 30% of your visitors are downloading your e-book, then aim for 40%, then 50% and so on.
