• ffmpeg concatenating videos of different fps while keeping the total length not changed

  23 novembre 2017, par A_Matar

  I wanna pad an mp4 video stream with another video clip of a static image that I created using :

  def generate_white_vid (duration):
  
      output_filename = os.path.join(p_path,'white_vid_'+" 0:.2f}".format(duration)+'.mp4')
  
      ffmpeg_create_vid_from_static_img = 'ffmpeg -loop 1 -i /path/WhiteBackground.jpg -c:v libx264 -t %f -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=1920:1080 %s' % (duration, output_filename)
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_create_vid_from_static_img, shell=True)
  
      p.communicate()
  
      return output_filename

  I use the following to concatenate :

  def concat_vids(clip_paths):
  
      filenames_txt = open('clips_to_join.txt','w')
  
      for clip in clip_paths:
  
          filenames_txt.write ('file \''+ clip+'\'\n')
  
      filenames_txt.close()
  
      output_filename = clip_paths[0].split('.', 2)[0]
  
      output_file_path = os.path.join(root_path, output_filename+'-padded.mp4')
  
      # join the clips
  
      ffmpeg_command = ["ffmpeg", "-f", "concat", "-safe", "0", "-i", "clips_to_join.txt", "-codec", "copy", output_file_path] # output_filename = ch0X-start_time-end_time
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_command)
  
      p.communicate() # wait till the subprocess finishes. You can send commands to process as well.
  
      return output_file_path

  When I check the length of the resulting video after concatenation, I find that it is not equal to the sum of the two segments that I concatenated, and sometimes it is even less by some seconds !!

  Here is how I get the video length in seconds :

  def ffmpeg_len(vid_path):
  
      '''
  
      Returns length in seconds using ffmpeg
  
      '''
  
      ffmpeg_get_mediafile_length = ['sh', '-c', 'ffmpeg -i "$1" 2>&1 | grep Duration', '_', vid_path]
  
      p = subprocess.Popen(ffmpeg_get_mediafile_length, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)    
  
      output, err = p.communicate()
  
      length_regexp = 'Duration: (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})(\.\d+),'
  
      re_length = re.compile(length_regexp)
  
      matches = re_length.search(output)
  
      if matches:
  
          video_length = int(matches.group(1)) * 3600 + \
  
                          int(matches.group(2)) * 60 + \
  
                          int(matches.group(3)) + float(matches.group(4))
  
          return video_length
  
      else:
  
          print("Can't determine video length.")
  
          print err
  
          raise SystemExit

  My guess is that maybe the concatenation unifies the fps rate for the all the clips to be joined, if this is the case, how to prevent this from happening ? How can I get a video of the desired length exactly.

  Maybe it worth mentioning that the video to padded is very short 0.42 second, the original video is 210.58 and the resultant video is 210.56 !

  I have verified that ffmpeg does generate the desired padding region and it is of the desired length 0.42 I got a 0.43 segment when I forced 30 fps but it is okay.

• I'm trying to hide information in a H264 video. When I stitch the video up, split it into frames again and try to read it, the information is lost

  18 mai 2024, par Wer Wer

  I'm trying to create a video steganography python script. The algorithm for hiding will be...

  


  

  1. convert any video codec into h264 lossless

  


  2. save the audio of the video and split the h264 video into frames

  


  3. hide my txt secret into frame0 using LSB replacement method

  


  4. stitch the video back up and put in the audio

  


  


  ...and when I want to recover the text, I'll

  


  

  1. save the audio of the video and split the encoded h264 video into frames

  


  2. retrieve my hidden text from frame0 and print the text

  


  


  So, this is what I can do :

  


  

  1. split the video

  


  2. hide the text in frame0

  


  3. retrieve the text from frame0

  


  4. stitch the video

  


  


  But after stitching the video, when I tried to retrieve the text by splitting that encrypted video, it appears that the text has been lost. This is because i got the error

  


  UnicodeEncodeError: &#x27;charmap&#x27; codec can&#x27;t encode character &#x27;\x82&#x27; in position 21: character maps to <undefined>&#xA;</undefined>

  


  I'm not sure if my LSB replacement algorithm was lost, which results in my not being able to retrieve my frame 0 information, or if the H264 conversion command I used was a converted my video into H264 lossy version instead of lossless (which I don't believe so because I specified -qp 0)
This was the command I used to convert my video

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -t 12 -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -qp 0 output.mp4


  


  These are my codes

  So I tried to put my decoding function into my encoding function like this

  


  def encoding_function():
    split_into_frames()

    encoded_image = encode(frame0_path, file_content)
    cv2.imwrite(encoded_image_path, encoded_image)

#immediately get frame0 and decode without stitching to check if the data is there
    decoded_message = decode(encoded_image_path)
    print(f"[+] Decoded message: {decoded_message}")

    stitch_frames_to_video(frames_directory, file_path)
    add_audio_to_video(file_path, audio_output_path, final_video_file)



  


  This returns my secret text from frame0. But splitting it after stitching does not return my hidden text. The hidden text was lost

  


  def decoding_function():
    split_into_frames()
#this function is after the encoding_function(). the secret text is lost, resulting in charmap codec #can't encode error
    decoded_message = decode(encoded_image_path)
    print(f"[+] Decoded message: {decoded_message}")


  


  EDIT :
So i ran the encoding function first, copied frame0.png out and placed it some where. Then I ran the decoding function, and got another frame0.png.

  


  I ran both frame0.png into this python function

  


  frame0_data1_path = os.path.join(here, "data1", "frame0.png")
frame0_data2_path = os.path.join(here, "data2", "frame0.png")
frame0_data1 = cv2.imread(frame0_data1_path)
frame0_data2 = cv2.imread(frame0_data2_path)

if frame0_data1 is None:
    print(f"Error: Could not load image from {frame0_data1_path}")
elif frame0_data2 is None:
    print(f"Error: Could not load image from {frame0_data2_path}")
else:

    if np.array_equal(frame0_data1, frame0_data2):
        print("The frames are identical.")
    else:
        print("The frames are different.")


  


  ...and apparently both are different. This means my frame0 binary got changed when I stitch back into the video after encoding. Is there a way to make it not change ? Or will h264 or any video codec change a little bit when you stitch the frames back up ?

  


• Play a video with ffmpeg and SDL2 on a Raspberry Pi 5

  18 février 2024, par aforino

  I want to create a python script that decodes a h264 1080p video and outputs it via SDL2 on a Raspberry Pi 5. The Raspberry Pi 5 is able to play a h264 1080p video without problem using VLC. Total CPU load with VLC is about 10%. However decoding with ffmpeg and outputting via SDL2 uses around 70% CPU load. Since I want to be able to switch seamlessly between two output videos I will need to decode two videos at the same time. Therefore 70% CPU load for one transcoded 1080p video is not acceptable. How can I make the code more efficient and why is VLC so much more efficient ?

  


  This is my current python script :

  


  import numpy as np
import ffmpeg  # ffmpeg-python
import sdl2.ext

in_file = ffmpeg.input('bbb1080_x264.mp4', re=None)

width = 1920
height = 1080

process1 = (
    in_file
    .output('pipe:', format='rawvideo', pix_fmt='bgra')
    .run_async(pipe_stdout=True)
)

sdl2.ext.init()
window = sdl2.ext.Window("Hello World!", size=(width, height))
window.show()
windowsurface = sdl2.SDL_GetWindowSurface(window.window)
windowArray = sdl2.ext.pixels3d(windowsurface.contents)

sdl2.ext.mouse.hide_cursor()

while True:
    in_bytes = process1.stdout.read(width * height * 4)

    if not in_bytes:
        break

    in_frame = (
        np
        .frombuffer(in_bytes, np.uint8)
        .reshape([height, width, 4])
        .transpose(1, 0, 2)
    )

    for event in sdl2.ext.get_events():
        if event.type == sdl2.SDL_QUIT:
            exit()

    windowArray[:] = in_frame
    window.refresh()

process1.wait()


  


  Also it is interesting to note that when I start VLC on a Raspberry Pi 5 this is the output on the terminal

  


  [00007fff78c1a550] avcodec decoder error: cannot start codec (h264_v4l2m2m)

  It indicates that VLC is not using the h264_v4l2m2m hardware acceleration.
