• Museum of Multimedia Software, Part 1

  14 août 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Software Museum

  Many years ago, I found a boneyard of old software, much of it related to the creation and processing of multimedia. I was permitted to liberate anything of my choosing from this cache. This is the same pile where I found this Apple QuickTime format spec as well as this perfect form factor floppy disc box. So I have been sitting on the stuff for awhile.

  I thought I might get the chance to study it a bit more closely one day. But now I’m interested in getting rid of it. Before I do, it’s more or less traditional for me to photograph it and post it on one blog or another. Also, if you know of any software collection groups who would be interested in taking this stuff off my hands, do let me know.

  As usual, click a picture for a much larger image.

  Paracomp FilmMaker
  This is easily the most distinctive piece in this collection and it’s easy to see why— the software is packaged in a film cannister. Still sealed, and I don’t have a good reason to open it now.

  
  
  

  "The Professional Animation/Presentation Program for the Macintosh." No copyright date on the packaging, though the front does mention a 1990 award. System requirements : Mac OS 6.0.5, 5 MB RAM, 32-bit QuickDraw, math coprocessor.

  Strata VideoShop
  Version 4.5 (and not for resale), still shrink-wrapped. "The Digital Video Editor for Creative Professionals."

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with 5 MB RAM (8 MB recommended), Mac OS 7.5.

  BeatWare e-Picture
  "The Professional’s Choice for Designing Animated Web Graphics." Claims a best of show award for 1999 MacWorld New York Expo.

  
  
  

  System requirements : PowerMac with Mac OS 8, 32MB RAM, 10 MB of HD space and a 256-color adapter.

  BeatWare eZ-Motion
  Another offering from BeatWare. "The fastest and easiest way to create animations and graphics for the Web."

  
  
  

  This one is for either Mac or Windows. 32 MB RAM and 25 MB HD space required. Works with Mac OS 8.5, 8.6, or 9.0, or Windows 98, NT, or 2000.

  Much more to come...

• How to process video stream ?

  27 avril 2016, par sharpener

  I would like to ask some experienced multimedia professional how to proceed with following task :

  Given URL provides video stream and we would like to get access to decoded frames (byte stream in memory) in managed Win7+ application (C#). We don’t want to render/present the frames the standard way. The video format is known but not fixed (might get changed between two successive sessions, but we will know the parameters).

  So far, I have found there are several methods and I have build following picture in my mind :

  1. ffmpeg wrapper
     • Pros
       1. Self contained (no dependency to windows technologies)
       2. Powerful
     • Cons
       1. Little more complex to understand
       2. Lot of different wrapping variants (FFmpeg.NET, ffmpeg-sharp, ffmpeg-shard, FFmpeg.AutoGen, ...)
  2. DirectShow wrapper
     • Pros
       1. Widely used/supported technology (variaous filters freely available)
       2. Nice/detailed documentation on MSDN
     • Cons
       1. Quite old
       2. Considered obsolete from the point of author’s view (available only for desktop model on runtime >= Win8)
  3. MediaFoundation wrapper
     • Pros
       1. Theoretical successor of DirectShow, so should be available in the future
     • Cons
       1. Seems to be not as good as DirectShow
       2. Not very popular, limited "community" support
  4. FFmpegInterop wrapper
     • Pros
       1. Microsoft’s open source wrapper alternative
     • Cons
       1. Not available for runtime < Win8

• FFmpeg cannot extract correct first frame - always extract the second frame [closed]

  21 octobre 2024, par Cai Yu

  I am on macos Ventura 13.2.1, on Macbook Pro M1Max.

  &#xA;

  The video is number counting animation video. From 2 to 125. The number on first frame is 2. The number on last frame is 125. The number plus one on each frame. You can download the video here.

  &#xA;

  NOTE that :&#xA;First, you hit space bar to play it in Finder, you can see the first frame of the video is number 2.

  &#xA;

  Second, in professional Video editing software - davinci resolve, on the timeline, you can see the first frame is number 2.

  &#xA;

  Now I try to use FFmpeg to extract the first frame of the video.&#xA;First Try :

  &#xA;

  ffmpeg -i /Users/chris/Downloads/2to125.mov -vframes 1 /Users/chris/Downloads/1.png


  &#xA;

  The output png image is number 3. So it's actually the second frame.

  &#xA;

  Second try :

  &#xA;

  ffmpeg -i /Users/chris/Downloads/2to125.mov -frames:v 1 /Users/chris/Downloads/1.png


  &#xA;

  The output png image is still the second frame - the number 3.

  &#xA;

  Third try :

  &#xA;

  ffmpeg -i /Users/chris/Downloads/2to125.mov -vf "select=eq(n\,0)" -q:v 3 /Users/chris/Downloads/1.png


  &#xA;

  The output image is sitll the wrong second frame.

  &#xA;

  NOTE that :

  &#xA;

  first : all these three method are from internet. And a lot of people voted correct answer for this question.

  &#xA;

  second : all their output on my system is the incorrect second frame, not the first frame.

  &#xA;

  I cannot find what's wrong. Hope friend here help me.
