• Compress video like whatsapp

  10 juillet 2021, par user1079425

  I'm not an expert in Video Editing but what I want to understand the logic of Whatsapp video processing.

  



  First of all I have noticed that whatever the file is, Whatsapp sets the limit of Uploaded videos to 16MB, after which whatsapp crops the video to not exceed the limit. is this a convention or it's a personal choice ?

  



  Secondly, When a video is recorded using the Camera it's not compressed by default, so whatsapp compresses it using FFMPEG I guess, and it takes no time. (tried for a video of 1min 1920x1080 with 125MB of size, becomes 640x360 with 5MB of size in no time, and the upload starts automatically).. how may they do this ? and why the choice of 640x360, It seems to me very fast for 2 asynchronous tasks : Compression + Upload.

  



  When I run the compression command ffmpeg -y -i in.mp4 -codec:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset medium -codec:a libfdk_aac -vbr 4 -vf scale=-1:640,format=yuv420p out.mp4 it takes approximatively 1 min and the video is being rotated !! :D

  



  Finally, when we download a video from Youtube it's already compressed (I guess) and whatsapp doesn't even try to compress it. So I think that it automatically detects thats the video is compressed. How can we detect this ?

  



  Thank you.

  


• What is the most suitable H265 setting converting from H264 on ffmpeg ?

  9 juin 2017, par minion007

  Currently, I was trying to convert my videos no matter personal videos or movies from H264 to H265. But that was much harder than what I expected.

  Firstly, it took me over 10 hours to build ffmpeg on Linux and I believe I’m still having some problems on dealing with this.

  Secondly, I notice there is degradation after converting by using the setting or parameters from Internet or ffmpeg official website. On the other hand, the video size would be the same or even bigger than the original video size if I use small crf like 23 or 28.

  For instance, sudo ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v hevc -x265-params lossless -preset medium -crf 30 -c:a copy output.mkv

  sudo ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -x265-params lossless -preset medium -crf 30 -c:a copy output.mkv

  the above two settings give me the very small video size (between 21% 23% of the original video) which is the main reason why I want to convert my videos to H265 but drawback would be the quality of converted video is worse than the original video (I would may be between 30% 35% degradation).

  Thirdly, the size of video would be much bigger than the original size of video if I use the lossless parameter.

  sudo ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -x265-params lossless=1 -preset medium -crf 30 -c:a copy output.mkv

  the above setting can keep the quality of the original video but size would be huge (above 200% of original video).

  Is there any suggestion ?

• Download TS files from video stream

  8 juillet 2021, par Nicky Smits

  Videos on most sites make use of progressive downloading, which means that the video is downloaded to my computer, and easy to trace. There are lots of extensions out there to do this, and even in the dev-tools this is easily done.

  



  On certain websites videos are streamed. which means that we do no just download 1 file, we download lots of small packages. In the dev-tools these packages can be traced. The website I'm interested in is : http://www.rtlxl.nl/# !/goede-tijden-slechte-tijden-10821/c8e2bff7-5a5c-45cb-be2b-4b3b3e866ffb.

  



  -The packages have a .TS extension.

  



  -Packages can be saved by copying the url of the request

  



  -I can not play these files.

  



  I must have done something wrong, or I'm missing something. I want to know what I am doing wrong. I want to create a chrome extension for personal use which captures the urls of all the packages. when I have all the urls I want to pass them on to a php scripts which downloads them and uses ffmpeg to paste them into a mp4 file.

  



  Please help me get the packages.
