• Split a movie into 1000+ shots using PyAV in a single pass ?

  3 mai 2019, par Andrew Klaassen

  I need to split a 44 minute MP4 into 1000 shots (i.e. separate MP4s) with ffmpeg. I want to do it quickly (i.e. in a single pass rather than 1000 passes), I need perfect frame accuracy, and I need to do it in Windows.

  The Windows command-line length limit is stopping me from doing this, and I’m wondering if someone could show me an example of how to do this using a library like PyAV or Avpy. (Libraries like ffmpeg-python and ffmpy won’t help, since they simply construct an ffmpeg command line and run it, leading to the same Windows command-line length issue that I already have.)

  After much testing and gnashing of teeth, I’ve learned that the only way to get perfect frame accuracy from ffmpeg, 100% of the time, is to use the "select" filter. ("-ss" in the newest versions of ffmpeg is frame accurate 99% of the time ; unfortunately, that’s not good enough for this application.)

  There are two ways to use "select" for this. There’s the slow way, which I’m doing now, and which requires having ffmpeg open the file 1000 times :

  for (start, end, name) in shots:
  
      audio_start = start / frame_rate
  
      audio_end = end + 1 / frame_rate
  
      cmd = [
  
          path_to_ffmpeg,
  
          '-y',
  
          '-i', input_movie,
  
          '-vf', r'select=between(n\,%s\,%s),setpts=PTS-STARTPTS' % (start, end),
  
          '-af', 'atrim=%s:%s,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS' % (audio_start, audio_end),
  
          '-c:v', 'libx264',
  
          '-c:a', 'aac',
  
          '-write_tmcd', '0',
  
          '-g', '1',
  
          '-r', str(frame_rate),
  
          name + '.mp4',
  
          '-af', 'atrim=%s:%s' % (audio_start, audio_end),
  
          name + '.wav',
  
      ]
  
      subprocess.call(cmd)

  And there’s the fast way, which causes the Windows command line to explode when there are too many shots. The long command line leads to a failure to run :

  cmd = [
  
      path_to_ffmpeg,
  
      '-y',
  
      '-i',
  
      input_movie,
  
  ]
  
  for (start, end, name) in shots:
  
      audio_start = start / frame_rate
  
      audio_end = end + 1 / frame_rate
  
      cmd.extend([
  
          '-vf', r'select=between(n\,%s\,%s),setpts=PTS-STARTPTS' % (start, end),
  
          '-af', 'atrim=%s:%s,asetpts=PTS-STARTPTS' % (audio_start, audio_end),
  
          '-c:v', 'libx264',
  
          '-c:a', 'aac',
  
          '-write_tmcd', '0',
  
          '-g', '1',
  
          '-r', str(frame_rate),
  
          name + '.mp4',
  
          '-af', 'atrim=%s:%s' % (audio_start, audio_end),
  
          name + '.wav',
  
      ]
  
  subprocess.call(cmd)

  I’ve looked through the documentation of PyAV and Avpy, but I haven’t been able to figure out whether the second form of my function is something I could do there, or how I’d go about doing it. If it is possible, would someone be able to write a function equivalent to my second function, using either library ?

• ffmpeg compilation problem : avcodec_find_decoder always returns null

  15 mars 2016, par Adion

  I recently tried to upgrade the ffmpeg libraries I use in my Mac OS X application by downloading and compiling ffmpeg from source.

  My code works correctly with pre-compiled libraries of the same version on windows.
  On Mac OS X, the library appears to work (it can open the file and find the streams and codecs used), but when it gets to avcodec_find_decoder, this function always returns null.

  The code has worked with an older version of the library (compiled a year ago on Mac OS X 10.5)

  I configured fmpeg using

  ./configure --extra-cflags="-arch i386" --extra-ldflags='-arch i386' --arch=x86_32 --target-os=darwin --enable-cross-compile --disable-indev=jack --enable-shared --disable-static

  I checked config.mak, and it appears to have the decoders for the file types I tried enabled (ogg, vorbis, avi, mkv, ...)
  I also checked that the correct header files have been used and that the newly compiled library is used.

  I have found only some older posts relating to this issue, but without any solution :

  http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2007-January/021399.html

  http://libav-users.943685.n4.nabble.com/avcodec-find-decoder-problem-td944800.html

  Edit : checking further, it appears av_codec_next(NULL) returns null as well, which means there isn’t a single codec available, or that first_avcodec in utils.c is not set (I actually haven’t found at all where this variable is set, I would have assumed av_register_all, but I can’t find it there)

• libavcodec/libx264 isn't respecting keyint_min

  6 janvier 2020, par seanr8

  Using libavcodec 57.107.100, I have some code to encode frames into H.264 and I'm working on tweaking the settings to prep resulting videos to be streamed with DASH, which requires consistent keyframe timings. So I'm setting the GOP to 4x the framerate and setting the keyint_min to the same as the GOP so that I can guarantee that the keyframe interval lines up with the 4 second segment boundaries.

  



  I'm using the following code to build the AVCodec and AVCodecContext :

  



  AVCodec* codec = NULL;
codec = avcodec_find_encoder_by_name("libx264");
AVCodecContext* avcodec_context = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
context->bit_rate = 200000;
context->height = 640;
context->width = 480;
context->keyint_min = 100;
context->gop_size = 100;
context->qmax = 31;
context->qmin = 2;
context->pix_fmt = AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P;
context->time_base = (AVRational) {1, 25};


  



  Clearly, the keyint_min is 100 here, yet when I execute my program, the stderr output from libavcodec says this when the encoding starts :

  



  [libx264 @ 0x5577bde61f20] using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 BMI2

  For emphasis, in the third line of that blurb, the encoder says keyint=100 keyint_min=51. So obviously my GOP is being set correctly at 100, but the keyint_min is not being respected. Since the FFMPEG docs are pretty difficult to approach, I haven't been able to find an answer to this. Does anyone know what I'm missing ?
