• Improve ffmpeg x11grab screen capture performance

  10 janvier 2020, par Toby Eggitt

  I have been doing screen-only (no sound) capture using ffmpeg with libx264 for the encoding quite successfully on an old machine built around a Core2 Quad Q6600 processor. I now need to include audio in this, but the fans on this ancient machine are too loud. So, I found a fanless motherboard (https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/J5005-ITX/index.asp) that has an Intel Pentium Silver J5005 processor and decided to use this instead. The CPU’s benchmarks put it in a similar bracket to the Q6600, and the general performance seems to be significantly better, presumably at least in part because it’s now using DDR4 memory that’s faster access.

  However, the machine fails horribly at the screen capture. It’s missing frames all over the place ; I actually end up with video that’s missing almost half the frames, and plays back at about double speed. Also, any audio is just messed up so badly I can hardly think how to describe it, best I can come up with is that I get perhaps a quarter second of sound then a few seconds pause (the video meanwhile is actually still playing back, albeit with no sense of time).

  Some things occur to me that might be the cause, or cure, of my troubles, some of which I might be able to fix, others not so much. What other things should I try ? (I’d prefer to avoid simply throwing money at the issue with random ideas that are baseless !)

  1) perhaps the CPU lacks some "extensions" to the instruction set (I recall years ago some CPUs gaining MMX extensions") so that the CPU is fast at mundane computing but sucks at video encoding.

  2) perhaps the fact that the old machine had a dedicated graphics card, while this new one is sharing main memory with the graphics system means that reading the screen pixels is much slower.

  3) perhaps the fact that this new machine has a single DDR4 memory stick in it means that I’m forcing all the memory reads and writes for the computations through the same memory as is holding the screen, and that’s too much (implying that adding an additional memory stick might jus possibly help ?)

  4) perhaps there’s some bios setting that would allow more efficient sharing of video memory ?

  5) my favorite, perhaps there’s a better compression library that I could use to get decent quality screen capture with much less CPU usage.

  I should also note that I have tried this with -threads 0, and the CPU usage hovers between 100% and 200% ; around 100% when the screen is static, and rising as I move windows around and otherwise create more output.

  6) the motherboard claims to have some kind of hardware video encoder built into it. I haven’t paid this any attention to this point, as I assumed it was for the purpose of taking HDMI input and encoding it, but maybe there’s a way to use this, if so, what libraries might I need to get ffmpeg to do this.

  Edits :

  • This is an off the shelf ffmpeg. I’m certainly willing to try building it myself if I have some idea what I should do different.
  • The motherboard claims to have hardware encoders, but I’m struggling to find out what they are (seems like it’s an Intel chip called "UHD Graphics 605" but nothing I can find suggests ffmpeg can work with that)

  • command line right now has been (without audio) :

• Your introduction to personally identifiable information : What is PII ?

  15 janvier 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Analytics Tips, Privacy, Security
  When it comes to personally identifiable information (PII), people are becoming more concerned with data privacy. Identifiable information can be used for illegal purposes like identity theft and fraud. 

  So how can you protect yourself as an innocent web browser ?

  If you’re a website owner – how do you protect users and your company from falling prey to privacy breaches ?

  As one of the most trusted analytics companies, we feel our readers would benefit from being as informed as possible about data privacy issues and PII. Learn how you can keep yours or others’ information safe.

  What does PII stand for ?

  PII acronym

  PII is an acronym for personally identifiable information.

  PII definition

  Personally identifiable information (PII) is a term mainly used in the United States.

  The appendix of OMB M-10-23 (Guidance for Agency Use of Third-Party Website and Applications) gives this definition for PII :

  “The term ‘personally identifiable information’ refers to information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, such as their name, social security number, biometric records, etc. alone, or when combined with other personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.”

  What can be considered personally identifiable information (PII) ? Some PII examples :

  • Full name/usernames
  • Home address/mailing address
  • Email address
  • Credit card numbers
  • Date of birth
  • Phone numbers
  • Login details

  • Precise locations
  • Account numbers
  • Passwords
  • Security codes (including biometric records)
  • Personal identification numbers
  • Driver license number
  • Get a more comprehensive list here

  What’s non-PII ?

  Anonymous information, or information that can’t be traced back to an individual, can be considered non-PII. 

  Who is affected by the exploitation of PII ?

  Anyone can be affected by the misuse of personal data. Websites can compromise your privacy by mishandling or illegally selling/sharing your data. That may lead identity theft, account fraud and account takeovers. The fear is falling victim to such fraudulent activity. 

  PII can also be an issue when employees have access to the database and the data is not encrypted. For example, anyone working in a bank can access your accounts ; and anyone working at Facebook can read your messages. This shows how privacy breaches can easily happen when employees have access to PII.

  Website owner’s responsibility for data privacy (PII and analytics)

  If you’re using a web analytics tool like Google Analytics or Matomo, best practise is to not collect PII if possible. This is to better respect your website visitor’s privacy. 

  If you work in an industry which needs people to share personal information (e.g. healthcare, security industries, public sector), then you must collect and handle this data securely. 

  

  The US National Institute of Standards and Technology states : “The likelihood of harm caused by a breach involving PII is greatly reduced if an organisation minimises the amount of PII it uses, collects, and stores. For example, an organisation should only request PII in a new form if the PII is absolutely necessary.” 

  How you’re held accountable remains up to the privacy laws of the country you’re doing business in. Make sure you are fully aware of the privacy and data protection laws that relate specifically to you. 

  To reduce the risk of privacy breaches, try collecting as little PII as you can ; purging it as soon as you can ; and making sure your IT security is updated and protected against security threats. 

  With data collection tools like web analytics, data may be tracked through features like User ID, custom variables, and custom dimensions. Sometimes they are also harder to identify when they are present, for example, in page URLs, page titles, or referrers URLs. So make sure you’re optimising your web analytics tools’ settings to ensure you’re asking your users for consent and respecting users’ privacy.

  If you’re using a GDPR compliant tool like Matomo, learn how you can stop processing such personal data

  PII, GDPR and businesses in the US/EU

  You may get confused when considering PII and GDPR (which applies in the EU). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives people in the EU more rights over “personal data” – which covers more identifiers than PII (more on PII vs personal data below). GDPR restricts the collection and processing of personal data so businesses need to handle this personal data carefully. 

  According to the GDPR, you can be fined up to 4% of their yearly revenue for data/privacy breaches or non-compliance. 

  

  In the US, there isn’t one overarching data protection law, but there are hundreds of laws on both the federal and state levels to protect PII of US residents. US Congress has enacted industry-specific statutes related to data privacy like HIPAA. Recently state of California also passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). 

  To be on the safe side, if you’re using analytics, follow matters relating to “personal data” in the GDPR. It covers more when it comes to protecting user privacy. GDPR rules still apply whenever an EU citizen visits any non EU site (that processes personal data).

  Personally identifiable information (PII) vs personal data

  PII and “personal data” aren’t used interchangeably. All personal data can be PII, but not all PII can be defined as personal data.

  The definition of “personal data” according to the GDPR :

  

  This means “personal data” covers more identifiers, including online identifiers. Examples include : IP addresses and URL names. As well as seemingly “innocent” data like height, job position, company etc. 

  What’s seen as personal data depends on the context. If a piece of information can be combined with others to establish someone’s identity then that can be considered personal data. 

  Under GDPR, when processing personal data, you need explicit consent. So best to be compliant according to GDPR definitions of “personal data” not just what’s considered “PII”.

  How do you keep PII safe ?

  • Try not to give your data away so easily. Read through terms and conditions.
  • Don’t just click ‘agree’ when faced with consent screens, as consent screens are majorly flawed. 
  • Disable third party cookies by default. 
  • Use strong passwords.
  • Be wary of public wifi – hackers can easily access your PII or sensitive data. Use a VPN (virtual private network)
  • Read more on how to keep PII safe. For businesses here’s a checklist on PII compliance.

  Because PII is broad, you may run into confusion when considering PII and GDPR (which applies in the EU). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides more safeguards for user privacy.

  GDPR grants people in the EU more rights concerning their “personal data” (more on PII vs personal data below). In the EU the GDPR restricts the collection and processing of personal data.

  PII and “personal data” aren’t used interchangeably. All personal data can be PII, but not all PII can be defined as personal data.

  The definition of “personal data” according to the GDPR :

  

  This means “personal data” encompasses a greater number of identifiers which include the online sphere. Examples include : IP addresses and URL names. As well as seemingly “innocent” data like height, job position, company etc. 

  What’s considered personal data depends on the context. If a piece of information can be combined with others to establish someone’s identity then that can be considered personal data. 

  Under GDPR, when processing personal data, you need explicit consent. You need to ensure you’re compliant according to GDPR definitions of “personal data” not just what’s considered “PII”.
