• Can I determine the reference frame while I encoding images into a video in ffmpeg ?

  25 février 2014, par user3346886

  everyone.
  I recently needed to encode some images into a video. Can I determine which image is a I-frame during the process of encoding images into a video or determine which image is its reference frame while encoding P-frame ?
  The first method come to my mind is to use ffmpeg to implement.The reason is that it seems be easy for beginners. In ffmpeg I use libx264 as encoding library. I have used google to search some introductions about using libx264 in ffmpeg.
  Until now I just found the parameter related about this is "ref" which can determine the number of reference frame.
  But I can't find any parameter about what I wanted. Can anyone help me about this ? Thank you very much !
  BTW.If I violate rules in stackoverflow Forum.Please tell me.Thamks.

• How to determine video codec of a file with FFmpeg

  24 août 2024, par GerryMulligan

  I often have problems reading AVI files with my TV's DVD player if they are not DivX or Xvid (e.g., DX50 is not readable). I'd like to make a fast script to determine the video codec of these files before burning them to CD-ROM or DVD.

  


  The following prints the "container" of the video stream (mpeg4, mpeg2, etc), but not the codec :

  


  ffmpeg -i file.avi


  


• ffmpeg determine correct codec to use

  8 avril 2020, par nha

  I am trying to use .y4m files that I feed into Chrome for playing.
This is the only format that I can use.

  



  I have a set of .y4m files that are working for my use case, taken from here.
For example let's say that I use the file mobile_qcif_7.5fps.y4m.

  



  I also have a .mp4 file (specifically the sample small.mp4 file from techslides ). I know how to convert small.mp4 to small.y4m with the following command :

  



  ffmpeg -y -i small.mp4 small.y4m

  



  I would like the resulting file to be accepted by Chrome, just like the other file.
What options should I use (and how to find them) ?

  



  Additional information

  



  ffprobe gives :

  Head of the files

  



  Not sure if this is relevant, but the text content of both files begin like that :

  



  mobile_qcif_7.5fps.y4m
YUV4MPEG2 W176 H144 F15:2 Ip A128:117
FRAME

small.y4m (invalid)
YUV4MPEG2 W560 H320 F15:2 Ip A0:0 C420mpeg2 XYSCSS=420MPEG2
FRAME


  



  Additional experiment

  



  Taking the sample mobile_qcif_7.5fps.y4m, turning it into a .mp4 file and then back into a .y4m produces an invalid file (at least for Chrome).

  



  Answer to comments in the answer of @SirDarius

  



  Following the suggestion of @SirDarius ; I tried the following commands.
They failed to produce a valid file.

  When trying other formats (like yuv420p12be, which was in the output of -pix_fmts), I had the following output (hence my previous trials) :

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Input/output error


  



  After that, I also tried to edit with an hexadecimal editor (bless) the small_yuv420p.y4m file. I replace C420mpeg2 by C420, and the file was accepted by Chrome.
What does the number in 420p[number] correspond to ? It is not explained there.
Is there any way to make ffmpeg output this kind of header files ?

  



  @SirDarius, thank you again for your help.

  



  The question

  



  (in case you forgot after this text blob)

  



  How can I convert the small.mp4 into a small.y4m file that has the same properties as the mobile_qcif_7.5fps.y4m file ?
