• Theatrical quality ffmpeg/x264 encoding of a high-motion 1080p video

  2 décembre 2011, par Ian

  I've been struggling with encoding videos using FFMPEG and x264. The output stutters when played back in Quicktime, while in VLC it shows a lot of compression artifacts at the same places Quicktime stutters. So it seems like Quicktime is stuttering because it's trying to suppress the corruption/artifacts.

  The videos have a lot of random motion in them, including frames where 75% of the pixels will change at a random interval (the video is software generated so it's truly pseudo-random). The compression seems to be choking in these places where it's likely detecting a "scene cut" incorrectly. It also seems to choke at regular intervals where I guess it's doing a keyframe.

  I've based my encoding preset off of the x264-hq preset that comes with FFMPEG. I've tried turning off scene cut detection, and playing with the keyint/g and keyint_min options. Setting g to 1 makes it work, but blows out the filesize. I've tried the lossless presets, but they won't playback at all in Quicktime. Oddly, I haven't had any problems when working with a lower-resolution test video (1440x810).

  Here's the preset I have right now, which works, but yields a file that's approximately 60% larger than the (non-working) hq preset yields. Is there any way to improve upon this ? The filesize doesn't matter much, I just want something that will playback anywhere and be very high quality.

  coder=1
  flags=+loop
  cmp=+chroma
  partitions=+parti8x8+parti4x4+partp8x8+partp4x4+partb8x8
  me_method=umh
  subq=8

  qmax=51
  qdiff=4
  bf=16
  refs=4
  trellis=1
  flags2=+dct8x8+wpred+bpyramid+mixed_refs
  wpredp=2
  

  Here's the command :

  ffmpeg \
    -r 60 -i "frame-%06d.tiff" \
    -vcodec libx264 -vpre my_preset \
    -threads 0 \
    -r 60 -an -f out.mp4

• Is it possible to play an output video file from an encoder as it's being encoded ?

  14 février 2012, par lvreiny

  I have a video file, and I need to encode it as H264/AVC and feed to client via HTTP. What i need is that i player at client side can play back the video as it is being encoded.

  AFAIK, To enable player to play as the video is downloading, "moov atom" have to be placed at the begnning of the video file. However, encoders (ex : ffmpeg) always write "moov atom" at the end of file after it completes encoding.

  Is there any way encoder can put "moov atom" at beginning of encode's output ? Or play video without moov atom presence ?

  Thank in advances
