• ffmpeg what is the codec for play video in windows media player and web browser

  27 septembre 2016, par Swagat

  I have a requirement to convert video to mp4 which can play both windows medial player(latest version) and web browser(video tag)

  I got to run video in both windows media player or web browser, but two different video. i.e. in below scenario :

  For windows media play, I am using -codec:v mpeg4 and an example is :

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4  -filter_complex  -codec:v mpeg4 -flags:v +qscale -global_quality:v 0 -codec:a libmp3lame  output.mp4

  For Web Browser I need to run with -codec:v libx264 and an example is :

  ffmpeg -i input.mp4  -filter_complex  -codec:v libx264 -flags:v +qscale -global_quality:v 0 -codec:a copy output.mp4

  Both them are working perfectly in their respective player. Even I tried with combine both codec, its obvious, it is raising error.

  Any way to play in both place. Any way of direction will also help me here.

  Thanks in advance.

• cuvid : Implement flush to support seeking in media players

  4 septembre 2016, par Philip Langdale

  cuvid : Implement flush to support seeking in media players
  Right now, if we attempt to use cuvid in a media player and then
  
  try to seek, the decoder will happily pass out whatever frames were
  
  already in flight before the seek.
  There is both the output queue in our code and some number of frames
  
  within the cuvid decoder that need to be accounted for.
  cuvid doesn’t support flush, so our only choice is to do a brute-force
  
  re-creation of the decoder, which also implies re-creating the parser,
  
  but this is fine.
  The only subtlty is that there is sanity check code in decoder
  
  initialisation that wants to make sure the HWContextFrame hasn’t already
  
  been initialised. This is a fair check to do at the beginning but not
  
  after a flush, so it has to be made conditional.

• How do I extract color matrix from MP4 an x264 stream in Media Foundation

  23 août 2016, par Jules

  I am playing a video (mp4 containing x264 encoded video stream) with a custom player using media foundation.

  When I convert the YUV information into RGB I need to account for the color matrix and range used at encode time.

  Some of my videos have this information, I can use MediaInfo.exe or FFMPEG to see that it is present.

  However, for such videos if I look at the relevant Media Foundation properties (Extended Color Information) the properties are not present in the files.

  So, somehow I need to find a way to access the information.

  Media Foundation does provide access to MF_MT_MPEG4_SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION and MF_MT_MPEG_SEQUENCE_HEADER for the video stream but I can’t find descriptions of what these contain.

  I noticed that the MF_MT_MPEG_SEQUENCE_HEADER is much longer for the videos with the information present and this (MPEG Headers Quick Reference) seems to suggest headers might contain the information I need.

  I’m looking for Color Range (limited/full), Color Primaries, Transfer Characteristics and Matrix Coefficients (BT.709 etc).

  I’d greatly appreciate any help finding this information from a Media Foundation video stream.

  Thanks

  Jules

  Update - Sequence Header

  The sequence header appears to be a subset of MPEG4 sample description, though I can’t find anything that indicates what either bits of data actually contains / doesn’t contain specifically.

  The sequence header appears to contain data structured as an MP4 byte stream as described in the H264 Standards Document and includes the VUI (Video Usability Information - Annex E of document) which may then include the colour information I’m interested in.

  Given that it’s a byte stream I need to know where it starts and whether there’s some existing code I could use to decode it.

  In FFMPEG in libavcodec/h264_ps.c there is a function called ff_h264_decode_seq_parameter_set which ends up calling decode_vui_parameters. It seems possible that seq_parameter_set maps to MF_MT_MPEG_SEQUENCE_HEADER and it may be possible to use that code to decode the data.

  If anyone one has any direct experience with decoding this data it would be very useful.

  Thanks again

  Update - Related posts

  I found this How to decode sprop-parameter-sets in a H264 SDP ? and Possible Locations for Sequence/Picture Parameter Set(s) for H.264 Stream which are fairly helpful.

  The sequence header would appear to be Sequence or picture parameter set (pps) and the parameters I want are the VUI extension subset.

  Plus this post H.264 stream structure gives the high level of how the stream data is structured, and the MF_MT_MPEG_SEQUENCE_HEADER appears to start with a NAL 0x00 0x00 0x01 so I’m guessing it is a NAL containing the PPS.
