• ffmpeg record screen and save video file to disk as .mpg

  7 janvier 2015, par musimbate

  I want to record the screen of my pc (using gdigrab on my windows machine) and store the saved video file on my disk as an mp4 or mpg file .I have found an example piece of code that grabs the screen and shows it in an SDL window here :http://xwk.iteye.com/blog/2125720 (The code is on the bottom of the page and has an english version) and the ffmpeg muxing example https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/muxing_8c-source.html seems to be able to help encode audio and video into a desired output video file.

  I have tried to combine these two by having a format context for grabbing the screen (AVFormatContext *pFormatCtx ; in my code ) and a separate format context to write the desired video file (AVFormatContext *outFormatContextEncoded ;).Within the loop to read packets from the input stream( screen grab stream) I directly encode write packets to the output file as shown in my code.I have kept the SDL code so I can see what I am recording.Below is my code with my modified write_video_frame() function .

  The code builds OK but the output video can’t be played by vlc. When I run the command

  ffmpeg -i filename.mpg

  I get this output

  [mpeg @ 003fed20] probed stream 0 failed
  
  [mpeg @ 003fed20] Stream #0: not enough frames to estimate rate; consider increasing probesize
  
  [mpeg @ 003fed20] Could not find codec parameters for stream 0 (Video: none): unknown codec
  
  Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options
  
  karamage.mpg: could not find codec parameters
  
  Input #0, mpeg, from 'karamage.mpg':
  
    Duration: 19:30:09.25, start: 37545.438756, bitrate: 2 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: none, 90k tbr, 90k tbn
  
  At least one output file must be specified

  Am I doing something wrong here ? I am new to ffmpeg and any guidance on this is highly appreciated.Thank you for your time.

• Interfacing to an Xbox Optical Drive

  1er octobre 2013, par Multimedia Mike — xbox

  The next generation Xbox is going to hit the streets soon. But for some reason, I’m still interested in the previous generation’s unit (i.e., the original Xbox). Specifically, I’ve always wondered if it’s possible to use the original Xbox’s optical drive in order to read Xbox discs from Linux. I was never curious enough to actually buy an Xbox just to find out but I eventually came across a cast-off console on a recycle pile.

  I have long known that the Xbox has what appears to be a more or less standard optical drive with a 40-pin IDE connector. The only difference is the power adapter which I surmise is probably the easiest way to turn a bit of standardized hardware into a bit of proprietary hardware. The IDE and power connectors look like this :

  
  
  

  Thus, I wanted to try opening an Xbox and plugging the optical drive into a regular PC, albeit one that supports IDE cables, and allow the Xbox to supply power to the drive. Do you still have hardware laying around that has 40-pin IDE connectors ? I guess my Mac Mini PPC fits the bill, but I’ll be darned if I’m going to pry that thing open again. I have another IDE-capable machine buried in my closet, last called into service when I needed a computer with a native RS-232 port 3 years ago. The ordeal surrounding making this old computer useful right now can be another post entirely.

  Here’s what the monstrosity looks like thanks to characteristically short IDE cable lengths :

  Process :

  1. Turn on Xbox first
  2. Turn on PC

  Doing these things in the opposite order won’t work since the kernel really wants to see the drive when booting up. Inspecting the 'dmesg' log afterward reveals interesting items :
  

  <br />
hdd: PHILIPS XBOX DVD DRIVE, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive<br />
hdd: host max PIO5 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4<br />
hdd: UDMA/33 mode selected<br />
[...]<br />
hdd: ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache<br />

  Why is that interesting ? When is the last time to saw disk devices prefixed by ‘hd’ rather than ‘sd’ ? Blast from the past. Oh, and the optical drive’s vendor string clearly indicates that this is an Xbox drive saying ‘hi !’.

  Time To Read
  When I first studied an Xbox disc in a normal optical drive, I noticed that I was able to read 6992 2048-byte sectors — about 14 MB of data — as reported by the disc table of contents (TOC). This is just enough data to play a standard DVD video animation that kindly instructs the viewer to please use a proper Xbox. At this point, I estimated that there must be something special about Xbox optical drive firmware that knows how to read alternate information on these discs and access further sectors.

  I ran my TOC query tool with an Xbox Magazine demo disc in the optical drive and it reported substantially more than 6992 sectors, enough to account for more than 2 GB of data. That’s promising. I then tried running 'dd' against the device and it was able to read… about 14 MB, an exact quantity of bytes that, when divided by 2048 bytes/sector, yields 6992 sectors.

  Future (Past ?) Work
  Assuming Google is your primary window into the broader internet, the world is beginning to lose its memory of things pertaining to the original Xbox (Microsoft’s naming scheme certainly doesn’t help searches). What I’m saying is that it can be difficult to find information about this stuff now. However, I was able to learn that a host needs to perform a sort of cryptographic handshake with the drive at the SCSI level before it is allowed to access the forbidden areas of the disc. I think. I’m still investigating this and will hopefully post more soon.
