• How to render video and audio

  25 October 2011, by pic11

  I am trying to implement my own media player. What is the best way to render video and audio? At this point I am thinking to use SurfaceView and AudioTrack classes, but not sure if it is the best option. I am interested in SDK and NDK solutions.

  File output on regular desktop is non-blocking, that is OS takes care of buffering and actual disk writes are asynchronous to the thread that initiates the output. Does the same principle apply to video and audio output? If not, I would need to run a separate thread to handle output asynchronously from decoding/demuxing.

  What free software decoders are available for android? I am thinking to use ffmpeg. Can relatively recent (say, top 30% in terms of CPU power) tablet handle 1,280×720 and 1,920×1,080 formats in software mode?

• FFmpeg sample code for creating a video file from still images JNI Android

  21 June 2012, by anish

  How i modify the following FFMPEG sample code for creating a video file from still images that i am having in my android phone. I am using JNI for invoking ffmpeg.

  JNIEXPORT void JNICALL videoEncodeExample((JNIEnv *pEnv, jobject pObj, jstring filename)

• ffmpeg h.264 video plays in Safari but not in Chrome

  6 March 2016, by ensnare

  I’m using ffmpeg to encode a .MOV raw video into a compressed H.264 video for display on an html5 website. I’m using the below string to encode the video:

  ffmpeg -y \
  
  -i in.mov
  
  -b 3500k -bt 4000k \
  
  -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 192k \
  
  -vcodec libx264 -vpre ultrafast -vpre baseline \
  
  out.mp4

  The resulting video looks great and plays fine in Safari, but Chrome can’t recognize it. Any ideas?

  Thanks.
