• Transcode HLS Segments individually using FFMPEG

  27 mai 2013, par rayh

  I am recording a continuous, live stream to a high-bitrate HLS stream. I then want to asynchronously transcode this to different formats/bitrates. I have this working, mostly, except audio artefacts are appearing between each segment (gaps and pops).

  Here is an example ffmpeg command line :

  ffmpeg -threads 1 -nostdin -loglevel verbose \
  
     -nostdin -y -i input.ts -c:a libfdk_aac \
  
     -ac 2 -b:a 64k -y -metadata -vn output.ts

  Inspecting an example sound file shows that there is a gap at the end of the audio :

  

  And the start of the file looks suspiciously attenuated (although this may not be an issue) :

  

  My suspicion is that these artefacts are happening because transcoding are occurring without the context of the stream as a whole.

  Any ideas on how to convince FFMPEG to produce audio that will fit back into a HLS stream ?

  ** UPDATE 1 **

  Here are the start/end of the original segment. As you can see, the start still appears the same, but the end is cleanly ended at 30s. I expect some degree of padding with lossy encoding, but I there is some way that HLS manages to do gapless playback (is this related to iTunes method with custom metadata ?)

  
  

  ** UPDATED 2 **

  So, I converted both the original (128k aac in MPEG2 TS) and the transcoded (64k aac in aac/adts container) to WAV and put the two side-by-side. This is the result :

  
  

  I'm not sure if this is representative of how a client will play it back, but it seems a bit odd that decoding the transcoded one introduces a gap at the start and makes the segment longer. Given they are both lossy encoding, I would have expected padding to be equally present in both (if at all).

  ** UPDATE 3 **

  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gapless_playback - Only a handful of encoders support gapless - for MP3, I've switched to lame in ffmpeg, and the problem, so far, appears to have gone.

  For AAC (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAAC), I have tried libfaac (as opposed to libfdk_aac) and it also seems to produce gapless audio. However, the quality of the latter isn't that great and I'd rather use libfdk_aac is possible.

• How to create an animated GIF using FFMPEG with an interval ?

  26 octobre 2014, par Jeff Wilbert

  Hello fellow overflowers,

  A brief overview of what I’m trying to accomplish ; I have a site that will accept video uploads, uploads get converted into the mp4 format to be uniformed and playable on the web using one of the many available players. That part is all fine and dandy.

  The problem now is I want to show the user a short scaled preview (animated gif) of the video before they click to play it. The code I’m working with now is

  ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vf scale=150:-1 -t 10 -r 1 test.gif

  Which works for creating a scaled animated gif with a fixed width of 150px at a rate of 1 frame per second but its only an animation of the first 10 seconds of the video. I’m trying to do something that spreads out the frame gap to cover the whole video length but create an animated gift that’s no more then 10 seconds long.

  For example say I have a video that’s 30 seconds I want the gif to be 10 seconds long but cover frames of the entire 30 seconds so it might start at frame 3 or 3 seconds in and create a frame in the gif, then at 6 seconds in the video create another frame, then 9 seconds in another, and so forth where the final outcome is

      example video 30 seconds long          example video 1 minute 45 second long 
  
  
  
  video position - gif frame/per second      video position - gif frame/per second
  
        00:03:00   1                               00:10:50   1
  
        00:06:00   2                               00:21:00   2
  
        00:09:00   3                               00:31:50   3
  
        00:12:00   4                               00:42:00   4
  
        00:15:00   5                               00:52:50   5
  
        00:18:00   6                               01:03:00   6
  
        00:21:00   7                               01:13:50   7
  
        00:24:00   8                               01:24:00   8
  
        00:27:00   9                               01:34:50   9
  
        00:30:00   10                              01:45:00   10
  
  
  
    3 second interval between frames         10.5 second interval between frames

  Where you end up with an animated gif that’s 10 seconds long showing a preview of the entire video no matter the length of it. Which basically just boils down to
  video length / 10 (length of desired animated gif) = interval to use between frames but I don’t know how I can use that data to accomplish my problem...

  So does anyone have an idea or suggestion on how this can be accomplished with relative ease ? I can probably do it by calculating the length through code and running a command to extract each individual frame from the video that’s needed then generate a gif from the images but I’d like to be able to do it all with just one command. Thanks.

  How can I join together flac or wav file with a cover image (not only as a thumbnail, but also as a static image for all video duration) ?

  



  How to achieve the best audio quality ? Should I use 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz frequencies for my audio ?

  



  Should I tag my audio files before converting them to WebM ?
