• The SSIM values calculated using FFMPEG are not what I expected

  18 mai 2020, par fd-alexer

  I'm trying to encode an m2ts (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) file to mp4 (H.264) and get the ssim value.
  
I did get some SSIM values, but the results were contrary to my expectations.

  



  Are there wrong command options for ffmpeg ?

  



  Encoding and SSIM calculation commands

  



  # encode&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -fflags &#x2B;discardcorrupt -i input.m2ts \&#xA;  -c:v libx264 -crf <crf> -preset:v medium \&#xA;  -c:a copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc \&#xA;  output_ff_crf-<crf>.mp4&#xA;&#xA;# calculate ssim&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i <a> -i <b> \&#xA;  -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]ssim" \&#xA;  -f null -&#xA;</b></a></crf></crf>

  



  The results of the SSIM

  



  (a) A=input.m2ts,          B=input.m2ts,           ssim=0.973266
(b) A=input.m2ts,          B=output_ff_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=0.813347
(c) A=input.m2ts,          B=output_ff_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.819897
(d) A=output_ff_crf-0.mp4, B=output_ff_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=1.000000
(e) A=output_ff_crf-0.mp4, B=output_ff_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972911


  



  

  • (d)(e) : These are what I expected.

  


  • (a) : The files are the same, but ssim≠1.

  


  • (b)(c) : SSIMs with CRF=0 and CRF=30 have almost the same value, although the image quality is different.

  


  



  In the case of HandBrakeCLI

  



  To determine if there was a problem with input.m2ts, I ran HandBrakeCLI with almost the same parameters as ffmpeg.

  



  # encode&#xA;HandBrakeCLI --verbose --format av_mp4 --encoder x264 --quality <crf> --x264-preset medium \&#xA;  --aencoder copy \&#xA;  --input input.m2ts --output output_hb_crf-<crf>.mp4&#xA;&#xA;# calculate ssim (same as ffmpeg)&#xA;$ ffmpeg -hide_banner -i <a> -i <b> \&#xA;  -lavfi  "[0:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[main];[1:v]settb=AVTB,setpts=PTS-STARTPTS[ref];[main][ref]ssim" \&#xA;  -f null -&#xA;</b></a></crf></crf>

  



  (b') A=input.m2ts,          B=output_hb_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=0.999999
(c') A=input.m2ts,          B=output_hb_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972886
(d') A=output_hb_crf-0.mp4, B=output_hb_crf-0.mp4,  ssim=1.000000
(e') A=output_hb_crf-0.mp4, B=output_hb_crf-30.mp4, ssim=0.972886


  



  It's all as I expected. (although A is not ssim=1.0) 
Therefore, I don't see a problem with input.m2ts.

• Using ffmpeg to convert the audio of an RTSP stream to PCM alaw and hosting an RTSP stream as the output

  24 octobre 2020, par Sirisian

  I have an RTSP stream on my network that is H264 for video and aac for audio. I need the audio converted to PCM alaw with the video just passed through.

  


  I tried :

  


  ffmpeg -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://10.0.0.10/main -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_alaw -rtsp_flags listen -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  The output I get is :

  It's running, but it's not listening on port 8001. I've tried both UDP and TCP, so I think I am misunderstanding what "-rtsp_flags listen" does for ffmpeg ? My goal is to start an "RTSP server" locally and allow say VLC or any other player to connect and play it. Is this something ffmpeg can do or do I need to send the stream to something else to allow VLC or other media players to connect to it locally ? (The hardware I'm running isn't terribly fast, so I'd like to do this with the least amount of operations possible).

  


  For reference if I run :

  


  ffplay -rtsp_flags listen rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  Then run :

  


  ffmpeg -rtsp_transport udp -i rtsp://10.0.0.10/main -vcodec copy -acodec pcm_alaw -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8001/main


  


  It plays fine in the ffplay application. So it's like the "-rtsp_flags listen" only works with the input portion of ffplay and ffmpeg.

  


• How to embed an MP4 inside a PDF ?

  19 août 2020, par malat

  I am a happy user of img2pdf. This tool does the minimal amount of work to put a series of JPEG 2000/JPEG/PNG images into a PDF "enveloppe". However I am now faced with a new challenge : embed a MP4 file into a PDF "enveloppe".

  


  I see that commercial tool can do it, as seen at :

  


  

  • Add audio, video, and interactive objects to PDFs

  


  


  Here is one such sample PDF file (no Flash required on windows in this sample) :

** https://gitlab.com/agrahn/media9/uploads/90fddd777e0ec514c39c924cd8d3b688/video_test.pdf

  


  


  It seems to have been introduced in ISO 32000-1 (PDF 1.7 Extension Level 5)

  


  I am looking for a solution which will use the Rich Media annotation inside the PDF stream.

  


  There are dozen of duplicated questions on superuser/stackoverflow, which all pretty much refer to imagemagick/convert command line tool. But in my case, convert expand the images into a multi-page PDF (which is not my desired behavior) :
