  • Forcing ffmpeg to capture unreliable ALSA audio stream

    6 février 2015, par Peter Becich

    I am attempting to transfer some old Video 8 tapes to my computer, though an EasyCap USB stick and the motherboard’s sound line-in, on Ubuntu. I believe the arguments are correctly laid out below to capture from two independent streams, and encode them both into the output MP4 file.

    ffmpeg’s detection of the ALSA stream is seemingly goofed up by the inconsistencies of the tape. In the failure case, only short blips of the tapes audio exist in the output MP4. The audio bitrate of the output file is less than 10 kbps, averaged out across the whole file. The output video seems to be fine, even though the low frames-per-second in the failure case log below.

    The audio and video streams can be captured fine for short amounts of time before a source error occurs ; this provides the success case log. The failure case log was created by intentionally making an error in the source streams — turning on the camera makes a brief noisy signal.

    Is there a setting that needs to be forced to keep ffmpeg recording the audio stream, even when the tape is blank or noisy ?

    Could it be that the libfdk_aac audio encoder is tripped up by the low quality source ?

    The relevant line ; rawvideo stream is piped to this in script at bottom :

    ffmpeg -pixel_format uyvy422 -s:v 720x480 -framerate 29.97 -f rawvideo \
    
-i $PIPE  -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -vf scale=w=720:h=540 -vcodec libx264 \
    
-preset ultrafast -shortest -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -af pan=1:c0=c0  \
    
-ar 96000 $OUTFILE

    The ar argument was one attempt to force recording.

    ffmpeg log file for (short-lived) success ; high frames-per-second captured :

  • ALSA buffer xrun induced by low quality source in ffmpeg capture

    24 juin 2015, par Peter Becich

    I am attempting to transfer some old Video 8 tapes to my computer, though an EasyCap USB stick and the motherboard’s sound line-in, on Ubuntu. I believe the arguments are correctly laid out below to capture from two independent streams, and encode them both into the output MP4 file.

    Edit :

    I can simplify the question a bit, now.

    ALSA buffer overrun (or underrun ?) is induced by the unreliable/noisy audio source. For instance, if ffmpeg captures the beginning of tape playback, this causes "buffer xrun" far beyond when the tape gets up to speed and playback should be normal.

    It is interesting that the bitrate shown in the ffmpeg log shoots up higher than normal when it’s producing a garbage output ! (Is this bitrate a sum of of audio and video bitrates ?)

    I’ve tried a couple of audio encoding codecs, and had the same problem.

    Using libfdk_aac :

    ffmpeg’s detection of the ALSA stream is seemingly goofed up by the inconsistencies of the tape. In the failure case, only short blips of the tapes audio exist in the output MP4. The audio bitrate of the output file is less than 10 kbps, averaged out across the whole file. The output video seems to be fine, even though the low frames-per-second in the failure case log below.

    The audio and video streams can be captured fine for short amounts of time before a source error occurs ; this provides the success case log. The failure case log was created by intentionally making an error in the source streams — turning on the camera makes a brief noisy signal.

    Is there a setting that needs to be forced to keep ffmpeg recording the audio stream, even when the tape is blank or noisy ?

    Could it be that the libfdk_aac audio encoder is tripped up by the low quality source ?

    The relevant line ; rawvideo stream is piped to this in script at bottom :

    ffmpeg -pixel_format uyvy422 -s:v 720x480 -framerate 29.97 -f rawvideo \
    
-i $PIPE  -f alsa -i hw:0,0 -vf scale=w=720:h=540 -vcodec libx264 \
    
-preset ultrafast -shortest -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k -af pan=1:c0=c0  \
    
-ar 96000 $OUTFILE

    The ar argument was one attempt to force recording.

  • Converted Avi to Mp4 using FFMPEG, Converted video not working in html 5 Tag

    21 mars 2015, par Suprabhat

    I have a section in my web page where user can upload any types of videos of any format , currently only restricted to .mp4 and .avi. After successfull upload i have displayed the same video to the user. I have bind the path in HTML5 video so that the user can view the content he/she has uploded. Video with extension .mp4 no doubt are working properly as HTML5 support them. Tricky part is it don’t support Avi files. Now here what the problem has arised. In order to display avi videos i have used FFMPEG to convert videos with extension .avi to .mp4. With lots of googling and reading forum, i have succesfully converted avi videos to mp4 . Here’s what i have used :-

    1. ffmpeg -i input.avi -acodec libfaac -b:a 128k -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 1200k -flags +aic+mv4 output.mp4

    2. ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v libx264 -b:a 128k -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 1200k -flags +aic+mv4 output.mp4

    Above two are working perfectly, they have succesfully converted the video. But when i run them on browser in HTML5 and in new tab (Flash Player Plugin Installed), HTML5 doesn’t play it and flash player return an error message "Video can’t be played because the file is corrupt". But when i played them on KMplayer and in Window media player they are running perfectly.

    I have been to various threads in stackoverflow related to convert avi to mp4 and here i found following in one of the forum. where one of user has accepted this a correct answer but it ain’t worked out for me.

    1. ffmpeg -y -i sample.avi -b:v 1500k -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre baseline -g 30 sample.mp4

    Above argument returned me following error "File for preset ’slow’ not found".

    Following my futher searches i came across this thread ffmpeg convert mov file to mp4 for HTML5 video tag IE9. Here following argument worked perfectly and it able to convert video in such way that it is playble on browser.

    1. ffmpeg -y -i input.avi -vcodec libx264 -vprofile high -preset slow -b:v 500k -maxrate 500k -bufsize 1000k -vf scale=-1:480 -threads 0 -acodec libvo_aacenc -b:a 128k -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4.

    Problem i faced here was video is converted to 420p reso which quality is noty upto mark. Smaller resolution videos are been enlarged and seems pixelated

    Thus, i had to finally put up a question. I will be very obliged if someone can give a solution for above problem. I need to convert an avi video to mp4 supported by HTML5 video tag. It should able to play it on browser and during conversion of video it should maintain original audio and video quality plus resolution.

    Thanks

    My C# Code :

            public void Create(string input, string output, string parametri, string ThumbnailPhysicalPath, int ConvertType)
    
        {

                ffmpeg.StartInfo.Arguments = " -i \"" + input + "\" -vframes 1 \"" + output + "\"";
    
            else if (ConvertType == Convert.ToInt32(ConversionType.AviToMp4))
    
                ffmpeg.StartInfo.Arguments = " -i \"" + input + "\" -c:v libx264 -b:a 128k -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 1200k -flags +aic+mv4 \"" + output + "\"";

            ffmpeg.StartInfo.FileName = ThumbnailPhysicalPath + @"ffmpeg.exe";
    
            ffmpeg.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    
            ffmpeg.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    
            ffmpeg.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    
            ffmpeg.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    
            try
    
            {
    
                ffmpeg.Start();
    
                ffmpeg.WaitForExit();
    
                string error = ffmpeg.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
    
            }
    
            catch (Exception Ex)
    
            {
    
                Common.WriteLog("Exception occurred during conversion. Error Message :- " + Ex.Message + "\n Input Parameter :- " + input+ "\n Output Paramenter :- "+ output);
    
            }
    
            finally
    
            {
    
                ffmpeg.Close();
    
                if (ConvertType == Convert.ToInt32(ConversionType.AviToMp4))
    
                    UpdateConvertedVideoDetails(input,output);
    
            }
