• ffmpeg drops time delay on last frame of animated GIF

  13 August 2014, by Austin

  I am trying to convert animated GIFs to MP4 files using ffmpeg and x264. However, I seem be suffering from the effects of this bug in ffmpeg that causes the delay time of the last frame of the GIF to be ignored. For very short GIFs, this is quite a problem.

  As a work around, I was thinking that I should be able to manually tell ffmpeg to freeze on the last frame for a certain amount of time, specifically the proper duration of that frame (which I can extract from the GIF). However, I can’t seem to find a good way to do this. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to do this without having to split to the GIF into frames before putting it into ffmpeg since that will mess up GIFs with a non-constant framerate (in addition to being much slower).

  I am using ffmpeg version 2.3, though I have also tried this with the latest git code without any improvement. The full ffmpeg commands I’m using look like this:

  ffmpeg -i animation.gif -vf "scale=trunc(in_w/2)*2:trunc(in_h/2)*2" -c:v libx264 -b:v 2000k -y -pix_fmt yuv420p -f mp4 animation.mp4

  Here is some console output:

• FFMPEG - Images to Video

  24 March 2014, by Mahesh

  ffmpeg -f image2 -r 15 -i images/img%03d.jpg -vcodec libx264 video.mp4

  I run this code with exec in php.

  I am not getting the output. The video.mp4 is blank.

  However if i modify this commade to something like this,

  ffmpeg -f image2 -i i.jpg -vcodec libx264 -t 15 video.mp4

  The video is running for 15 seconds.

  I tried -r 1/15. It is not working too.
  Where do i do the mistake?

  <?php
  
  $command = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -f image2 -r 15 -i images/img%03d.jpg -vcodec libx264 video.mp4";
  
  exec($command);
  
  ?>

  images folder has img001.jpg img002.jpg ... img005.jpg

• FFmpeg's concat demuxer/protocol (for concatenating MP3 audio files) creates a sped up and broken output file

  5 February 2020, by EmielBoss

  I want to join, or concatenate, multiple MP3 files into one larger MP3 using FFmpeg’s concat demuxer:

  ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i Filelist.txt -c copy out.mp3

  However, the output file is sped up (with a higher pitch), and after 5 seconds of listening, the audio starts to crackle and drop out. If I click on another position on the timebar in VLC, it plays for about 5 seconds before it bugs out again. Why is this happening?

  I also tried the concat protocol:

  ffmpeg -i "concat:in1.mp3|in2.mp3|etc.mp3" -c copy out.mp3

  and Mp3Wrap (entirely different software):

  mp3wrap out.mp3 *.mp3

  both with the same result. How can I solve this, preferably without re-encoding?
