• A pragmatic strategy to merge multiple video files

  19 juin 2021, par saurav

  I currently am working on recording a multiparty video conference which supports up to 6 participants. I am recording the conference using a media server and storing audio/video streams individually for every participant.

  


  Next, I need to merge those individual recordings into a single video file and upload it to a cloud storage like aws s3. For this I am considering 2 options, either Gstreamer or FFMPEG. I am leaning towards FFMPEG as I have used FFMPEG previously. I currently am playing with FFMPEG things like the hstack and vstack filters etc.

  


  Here is the FFMPEG command I recently used to join 2 webm videos of 2 mins 40sec and 1min 40sec to create a mp4 video file for upload. Both the videos are 1280x720 in this case but I have included the scale part because in real life scenario different participants joining with different cameras produces video files of different resolution which is a problem for the hstack/vstack filter. Therefore, to make the video resolutions of all participant consistent, I have included the scale property.

  


  ffmpeg -i 1.webm -i 2.webm -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=1280:720,setsar=1[l];[1:v]scale=1280:720,setsar=1[r];[l][r]hstack;[0][1]amix" output-1280x720.mp4


  


  Currently I am facing 2 issues with this command.

  


  


  1. The output mp4 file is very big, in this case 140Mb (approx) for a less than 3 minutes video.

     


  


  2. How do I add delay to any video before starting to merge ?
     
Currently the videos are going out of sync if all the participants don't join at the same time which is highly unlikely to happen in a real world scenario.

     


  


  


  Any pointer in the right direction will be highly appreciated.

• Adding cover art to video wtih chapters and chapters getting deleted

  31 mai 2021, par throwaway513

  I am trying to add a cover art to a video with chapters.

  


  I added 2 chapters to a video using :

  


  ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -i Chapters.txt -map_metadata 1 -c copy 2.mp4

  


  but when I try to add cover art it deletes the first chapter and only keeps the second ?

  


  ffmpeg -i 2.mp4 -i image.jpg -map 1 -map 0 -c copy -disposition:0 attached_pic 3.mp4

  


  I also tried mp3tag but the picture doesn't show on the file after adding chapters through ffmpeg. Chapters work fine on 2.mp4 but on 3.mp4 it deletes the first chapter. It also deletes the chapter when I do ffmpeg -i 2.mp4 -c copy any.mp4

• Losing audio quality when merging multiple videos with FFmpeg

  30 mai 2021, par Charly

  I am trying to merge multiple videos (a few seconds each) into one, using FFmpeg.

  


  Merging all at once

  


  I first tried merging all videos with one FFmpeg command, but it only seems to work with up to a certain amount of videos. On my Raspberry Pi 4 (2BG RAM), it worked for 16 videos and broke (ran out of memory ?) while merging 36 videos (command and ouput below)

  Merging videos 2 by 2

  


  I then tried gradually merging videos into one, using multiple FFmpeg commands.

  


  # Pseudocode
final = merge(clip1, clip2)
final = merge(final, clip3)
final = merge(final, clip4)
final = merge(final, clip5)
...


  


  with each command, looking like this :

  


  ffmpeg -i 1Rbrdn1Xp.mp4 -i G7eYqdFPb.mp4 -y -filter_complex concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 -vsync 2 UMVDl9jki.mp4


  


  ffmpeg -i UMVDl9jki.mp4 -i -Xo-6ABm3.mp4 -y -filter_complex concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 -vsync 2 azE1Uombp.mp4


  


  This works but there is a loss in audio quality on the first clips, and it is slowly improving over time. I am guessing this is due to the first videos being merged more times than the last ones. You can see this effect happen in this video (weird artefacts in the voice).

  


  ---

  


  So, am I doing something wrong ?
  
Is there a way of merging a lot of videos, without running out of memory or worsening the audio quality ?
