• Remuxing MKV to MP4 fails when using -map 0 but works fine when Remuxing MP4 to MKV

  20 septembre 2020, par AppetiteForDestruction

  I have an MKV file that contains 5 streams...

  


  0 : video
  
1 : audio
  
2 : audio
  
3 : text
  
4 : menu
  

  


  I was able to remux the MKV into an MP4 using this command...

  


  > ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text output.mkv


  


  The resulting output MP4 contains all the streams from the original MKV.

  


  But if I try to remux the output MP4 into an MKV using the same command, but with a different codec for the subtitles (srt) and different file extension (mkv), I get an error. However, if I omit "-map 0" from the command, it works but only ONE of the audio streams get copied to the output MKV file.

  


  ====================
  
 Steps to Reproduce 
  
====================

  


  These two commands work, however, the output MKV only contains ONE of the TWO audio streams...

  


  > ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -c copy -c:s srt output.mkv
> ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s srt output.mkv


  


  When I try to use either of the two commands below using "-map 0" just like I did when I remuxed the original MKV into an MP4, the commands fail and both result in the "Full Output" shown at the bottom...

  


  > ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -map 0 -c copy -c:s srt output.mkv
> ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -map 0 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s srt output.mkv


  


  Output Error

  


  Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument


  


  So why would using "-map 0" cause it to fail when I used the exact same command to remux the original MKV into an MP4 ? And why does omitting "-map 0" allow it to work, but obviously doesn't copy both audio streams ? Seems like a BUG to me because why does practically the exact same command work for going from MKV to MP4, but not from MP4 to MKV ?

• 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.

  6. Funnels

  At a glance you will learn the steps (actions, events and pages) your users go through to the desired outcomes you want them to achieve whether it’s a sale, sign-up or any other particular goal you have defined.

  

  Looking at the entire conversion funnel and focusing on usability, you’ll be able to identify where your visitors are having problems, where they aren’t understanding the flow of your webpages and identify obstacles that get in the way of your users reaching that end goal. Learn more

  How to improve conversion rates with Funnels : Learn what makes your visitors take action (or what stops them) in progressing to the next step in the conversion funnel. At each step, you’ll discover what content/layout resonates with your visitors and you can optimize your website to have the greatest impact on your business.

  7. Behaviour

  This is one of the most important features to help you optimize your website for conversions. Learning visitor behaviour is a driving force to increase conversions. How ? It lets you identify where you could be taking action to increase conversions. You get to learn first-hand what content or feature on your site is or isn’t working for your visitors. 

  

  Engagement is essential to help increase conversion rates. If your visitors aren’t interested in the content on your site, then there’s very little chance they’ll be interested in what you have to offer. Learn more

  How to improve conversion rates with Behaviour : Get started by reducing bounce rates on important pages, testing messaging on your most popular entry pages, testing on the highest exit pages to reduce visitors leaving the site, learning pathways through Users Flow and Transitions to see if users are taking pathways that lead them to conversions or are the journeys currently long or go in odd directions. Discover how your visitors are responding to your content. The happier your visitors are to stay on your site, the more likely they’ll be able to move through the journey to help you achieve the goals you’ve set for your site.

• FFmpeg continues to process after time specified at "-to"

  4 août 2020, par Yamahabest

  I have a video, where I want to cut a part from the beginning, and from the end. And I want to apply some fade ins/fade outs, and add some text.

  


  So, I came up with the following syntax :

  I am quite sure this has worked in the past, but now FFmpeg just keeps on processing endlessly. If I then stop the FFmpeg process, and look at the resulting file, I see that the last frame (of the end of the specified period) just keeps on duplicating.

  


  The drop counter in the console output of FFmpeg also starts increasing at the end of the specified period :

  


  frame=  987 fps= 15 q=-1.0 Lsize=   31357kB time=00:00:41.04 bitrate=6259.0kbits/s dup=0 drop=10 speed=0.644x


  


  I am kind of lost on why this doesn't work anymore. I might have upgraded the FFmpeg executable in the mean time. Maybe my syntax was/is not correct, but I believe it just worked.

  


  It has to be in the complex filter, because when I remove that, it works alright.
It is not in the drawtext part of the complex filter, because it still occurs when I remove that. And when I only do the drawtext, FFmpeg stops correctly at the specified time.

  


  I have tried this, but then it still occurs :

  


  -filter_complex "
    color=0x7F7F7F@0.95:1920x1080[grey_for_fade_out];
    [grey_for_fade_out]fade=t=out:st=12:d=2:alpha=1[grey_fade_out];
    [0:v][grey_fade_out]overlay[video_grey_fade_out];
    color=0x7F7F7F@0.95:1920x1080[grey_for_fade_in];
    [grey_for_fade_in]fade=t=in:st=37:d=2:alpha=1[grey_fade_in];
    [video_grey_fade_out][grey_fade_in]overlay"


  


  Also with this, it still occurs :

  


  -filter_complex "
    [1:v]fade=t=out:st=13:d=2:alpha=1[over];
    [over]scale=iw/1.5:-1[scaled];
    [0:v][scaled]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)/10[video_grey_fade_out_in_logo];
    [1:v]fade=t=in:st=36:d=2:alpha=1[over2];
    [over2]scale=iw/1.5:-1[scaled2];

    [2:v]colorchannelmixer=aa=0.5,fade=t=in:st=14:d=2:alpha=1,fade=t=out:st=35:d=2:alpha=1[over3];
    [over3]scale=iw/10:-1[scaled3];
    [video_grey_fade_out_in_logo2][scaled3]overlay=10:10"


  


  I just don't understand. All my fade-ins/-outs seem to be within the specified range :

  


  

  • fade=t=out:st=12:d=2 : start at 12 seconds, duration 2 seconds. This ends at 14 seconds, which is smaller than 40 seconds.

  


  • fade=t=in:st=37:d=2 : start at 37 seconds, duration 2 seconds. This ends at 39 seconds, which is smaller than 40 seconds.

  


  • fade=t=out:st=13:d=2 : start at 13 seconds, duration 2 seconds. This ends at 15 seconds, which is smaller than 40 seconds.

  


  • fade=t=in:st=36:d=2 : start at 36 seconds, duration 2 seconds. This ends at 38 seconds, which is smaller than 40 seconds.

  


  


  It is just like some sequence is not ended properly, which is causing FFmpeg to just continue.
