• Sorenson Video 3 For Posterity

  12 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  On a recent dumpster dive, I procured a complete, never-been-opened copy of Sorenson Video 3 Professional Edition Compressor for Windows. And because I’m me, I thought it would be interesting to document it here :

  
  

  
  

  Not opened until now, anyway :

  
  
  

  I chuckled at the thought that I might open the user manual and find the complete data stream format listed therein. As expected, the guide offers a broad overview of video compression concepts (lossy vs. lossless, inter/intraframes, that kind of thing) and goes on to describe general guidelines for compressing different types of data. Then there is the feature reference. There are standard features and professional features (the latter includes things like bidirectional prediction, masking, and watermarking).

  I was hoping to figure out how to encode some video with this software. But I think I need full Quicktime Pro in order to do that. If you’re interested, here’s the user manual in PDF format : Sorenson Video 3 User Guide (626 Kbytes). Here’s an interesting claim from the chapter on audio compression :

  Most movies are made up of two parts, video and audio. Historically, the video portion of a digital movie was so large that the audio was only a minor piece of the puzzle. However, with Sorenson Video’s excellent compression capabilities it is possible to create a file where audio is the largest portion.

  I know it’s possible to do that, but is it really recommended ? I’m sure I have some samples in my vast repository where this is the case but it still doesn’t strike me as optimal for network delivery.

• Encode x264 video with ffmpeg for Android with starting offset

  4 août 2013, par scubed

  I'm trying to convert a video to play on an Android device.
  The video is from a big movie. I am chopping it back into pieces
  to correspond with the actual segments of the movie using -ss and -t.

  The input is mp4 with H.264 and AAC.
  The output is mkv using H.264 and Vorbis.

  Specifically, the input is :

  Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 320x240, 2240 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 60 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
  
  Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 162 kb/s

  I'm using : ffmpeg version 1.0.7

  The command I'm trying is something like :

  ffmpeg -ss 00:03:52.000 -i in.mp4 -t 00:01:00.000 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 20 -maxrate 400k -bufsize 1835k -c:a libvorbis -sn out.mkv

  However, while the resulting video works fine on my computer, when I click on
  my phone, it says : Can't play video
  and checking the Android log, it has :

  E/SoftAVC (24319): Decoder failed: -2
  
  E/OMXCodec(24319): [OMX.google.h264.decoder] ERROR(0x80001001, -1007)

  It is still able to make a thumbnail for the movie, but not play it.

  Interestingly, some simple variations of that command do work :
  Remove -ss to start at the beginning of the video
  Use -an to disable audio

  These variations still failed :
  Copying the original audio with -c:a copy, or other audio codecs like vorbis, mp3
  Using mp4 instead of mkv
  Using baseline H.264 profile, including restricting level to 1.2.

  Running through mkvmerge first not only fails, but makes Android not able to even make a thumbnail.

  I don't know if it is related, but another small thing I noticed is that for
  starting transcoding later in the movie, the audio starts out slightly out-of-sync.
  After several seconds, it gets back in sync. The audio is in sync in the original.

  Robert Rowntree :

  -vcodec libx264 -b:v 200k -bt 50k -threads 0 -b_strategy 1 -acodec copy -f mp4 -strict -2

  Interesting. Your command almost works. The video actually plays on Android. The one problem is that the audio is out-of-sync and stays out-of-sync throughout the whole clip. But, that's much closer than I've been. I'll search around there and see if I can find the right combination.

  I tried combinations of it. It appears that using both mp4 and copying the audio is what allows it to work. Using libvorbis or going to mkv breaks it again. But, I would like to transcode the audio, and I suspect to keep it in sync, I might have to transcode it anyways. Note that even with transcoding, when I play it back on the computer, I still don't have sync between audio and video.
