• Working way to make video from images in C#

  26 octobre 2013, par Jim Mischel

  Does anybody have a known reliable way to create a video from a series of image files ? Before you mod me down for not searching for the answer before posting the question, and before you fire off a simple message like "use FFMPEG," read the rest of this message.

  I'm trying to create a video, it doesn't matter too much what format as long as it's widely supported, from a series of images (.jpg, .bmp, etc.). My platform is Windows Server 2008, 64-bit. If I can make the video from within my C# program, that's great, but I'm not averse to writing a series of image files to a directory and then firing off an external program to make a video from those images.

  The only constraints are : it must work on my Windows Server 2008 system, and be scriptable. That is, no GUI programs that require operator intervention.

  I found a number of similar questions on StackOverflow, and have tried several of the solutions, all with varying degrees of frustration and none with anything like success.

  FFMPEG looks like a great program. Maybe it is, on Linux. The two Windows builds I downloaded are broken. Given this command line :

    ffmpeg -r 1 -f image2 -i jpeg\*.jpg video.avi

  One of the builds reads the images and then crashes due to data execution prevention. The other reads the first file and then spits out an error message that says "cannot find suitable codec for file jpeg/image2.jpg". Helpful, that. In any case, FFMPEG looks like a non-starter under Windows.

  One answer to a previous posting recommended Splicer . It looks like pretty good code. I compiled the samples and tried to run, but got some cryptic error message about a file not found. It looks like a COM class isn't registered. I suppose I need to install something (DirectShow, maybe, although I thought that was already installed ?). Depending on what's required, I might have a difficult time justifying its installation on a server. ("What ? Why do you need that on a server ?")

  Another answer suggested the AviFile library from Code Project. That looks simple enough : a wrapper around the Windows AviFile subsystem. Except that the AVI files the package creates appear to have all of the frames, but only the first frame shows when I play the AVI in Windows Media Player. Well, that and if you try to create a compressed video, the program throws an exception.

  So, I'm left wondering if there is a good, reliable way to do what I want : on a Windows system, create an AVI or other common video file format from a series of images, either through a .NET API or using an external program. Any help ?

• Seam carving

  13 février 2008, par Mikko Koppanen — Imagick, PHP stuff

  Today I was reading trough the ImageMagick ChangeLog and noticed an interesting entry. “Add support for liquid rescaling”. I rushed to check the MagickWand API docs and there it was : MagickLiquidRescaleImage ! After about ten minutes of hacking the Imagick support was done. Needless to say ; I was excited

  For those who don’t know what seam carving is check the demo here. More detailed information about the algorithm can be found here : “Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing” by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir

  To use this functionality you need to install at least ImageMagick 6.3.8-2 and liblqr. Remember to pass –with-lqr to ImageMagick configuration line. You can get liblqr here : http://liblqr.wikidot.com/. The Imagick side of the functionality should appear in the CVS today if everything goes as planned.

  Here is a really simple example just to illustrate the results of the operation. The parameters might be far from optimal (didn’t do much testing yet). The original dimensions of image are 500×375 and the resulting size is 500×200.

  Update : the functionality is pending until license issues are solved.

  1. < ?php
  2.  
  3. /* Create new object */
  4. $im = new Imagick( ’test.jpg’ ) ;
  5.  
  6. /* Scale down */
  7. $im->liquidRescaleImage( 500, 200, 3, 25 ) ;
  8.  
  9. /* Display */
  10. header( ’Content-Type : image/jpg’ ) ;
  11. echo $im ;
  12.  
  13.  ?>

  And the result :

  

  Update. On kenrick’s request here is an image which is scaled down to 300×300

  

• python call of ffmpeg misses target file parameter

  2 décembre 2016, par Fred

  I’m writing a python GUI for ffmpeg. When calling ffmpeg via subprocess it runs fine as long as the command is like

  subprocess.Popen([ffmpeg_converter,
  
          '-i',file,
  
          target_file
  
          ])

  But when I do the same call with ffmpeg arguments it fails with
  "At least one output file must be specified" :

  option_string = '-q:a 4'
  
  subprocess.Popen([ffmpeg_converter,
  
          '-i',file,
  
          option_string,
  
          target_file
  
          ])

  It even recognizes the options but does not see the target file. I even replaced the actual target file with someting simple like "test.mp3" but still the same error. Any ideas ? (I’m on windows with python 3.3.)

  The complete console output is :
