• ffmpeg SDP file for Darwin Streaming Server

  10 septembre 2012, par SP Sandhu

  I am making a streaming server to view live video feed of my webcam on my mobile device.

  I considered using ffmpeg , VLC and DSS and made the following setup that worked somewhat, though the frames were skipped :-

  video4linux2 > ffserver > VLC transcoding > DSS

  (RAW to ffserver) > (outputs to SDP link) > (SDP link to SDP file) > (SDP file to live streaming to mobile)

  Later, on testing VLC i found to be very inefficient and slow on my Netbook(Intel Atom N480) as it skips lot of frames.

  DSS can stream a SDP file from its /usr/local/movies(default).

  And at the same time, ffmpeg's ffserver module can stream live feed to SDP link(not SDP file).

  My requirement is that i need to create SDP file in DSS's /usr/local/movies directory so as to pass this DSS for streaming.

  So, how to create a sdp file from ffmpeg or how to create SDP file from SDP link (without using VLC's trans-coding).

  How to do that ?

• FFmpeg screencast recording : which codecs to use ?

  24 avril 2013, par mkaito

  I've been experimenting with recording screencasts using FFmpeg's X11grab module, which has worked more or less fine so far. I understand that a/v encoding is a complex process with many fine details, but I'm doing my best to learn.

  I'd like to do "lightweight" recording of a video stream, that puts as little strain as possible on the system while the stream is being recorded. I record two audio streams separately with pacat and sox. Later, the whole thing is filtered, normalized, encoded, and combined into a Matroska container.

  Right now, I'm having ffmpeg record a rawvideo stream to be fed to x264's yuv4 demuxer. I experimented with ffv1 and straight x264 recording before. My system can't handle real time encoding with x264 on the settings I want for the final stream, so I have to recompress separately once the recording is done. I've found that ffv1 gives me terrible frame dropping, and yuv4 too, but less so. I suspect this is due to hard drive speed, even if I'm sitting in a SATA3 Caviar Black that's being used exclusively to hold the recorded data.

  The question is, which combination of video codecs should I look at ? Record straight in x264 and recompress to "better" x264 later ? Raw video, then compress ? How would I go about pinpointing issues such as the frame drops I've been experiencing ?

  EDIT : This is the ffmpeg line I currently use.

  ffmpeg -v warning -f x11grab -s 1920x1080 -r 30000/1001 -i :0.0\
  
  -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 1280x720\
  
  -threads 0\
