  • Concat failing with ffmpeg 5.0 vs ffmpeg 4.1.1

    16 avril 2022, par Woolwit

    I have ffmpeg 5.0 installed on a new Silicon M1 Mac Mini running Monterey and concat is failing with the same command that has served me well on ffmpeg 4.1.1 lo, all these many years. Anyone have an idea why this command would fail on the newer version of ffmpeg.
This is with the exact same mp4 files. The ffmpeg 4.1.1. completes the concat in less than a minute.

    


    ffmpeg -i vid1.mp4 -i vid2.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v:0] [0:a:0] [1:v:0] [1:a:0] concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4



    


    Thank you !

  • How can I retain 2x pixel density when encoding Retina screen capture with ffmpeg ?

    26 février 2018, par hfossli

    Whenever I use ffmpeg to encode a HiDPI/Retina screen recording, the video plays at 2x the size, so it looks fuzzy, because the pixel density is not retained.

    How can I retain the original pixel density of HiDPI screen recordings with ffmpeg ?

    How to reproduce :

    1. Use QuickTime Player to create a Screen Recording on a Retina Mac.
    2. Play the video you recorded in QuickTime Player using the ⌘1 Actual Size view. Notice that it’s playing 2:1 on your Retina Display, so the video looks sharp. It’s playing in half the space of the actual recorded pixels.
    3. Use ffmpeg to encode the video using a command like this :

      ffmpeg -i haha.mov -c:v libx264 -crf 23 haha-lg.mov
    4. Play the new ffmpeg-compressed video in QuickTime Player using the ⌘1 Actual Size view. Notice that it’s playing 1:1, so the video looks fuzzy.

    To clarify, the video does not look blurry because it was compressed. Rather, it looks blurry because the video is being played twice as big as it should be, at a 1:1 pixel density, instead of the required 2:1 pixel density, presumably because some metadata is being discarded when encoding.

    For the record, VLC plays both videos too big (blurry). So being able to play HiDPI videos seems to be a feature of QuickTime Player.

    Here is the detailed information ffmpeg shows for the original screen recording :
