FFMPEG - rewarp MPEGDash to MP4 changes audio bitrate mode
30 juin 2022, par Matthieu DucorpsI'm rewrapping some MPEGDash to MP4 wrapper and some files are outputed with variable audio bitrate where others with constant bitrate,and both sources looks exactly the same.


For reference :


I'm using FFMPEG 5.0 for the rewrapping

FFMPEG : Overlay Capture Time (w/Counter)
27 juin 2022, par AdamKI am using the Shutter Encoder application on Windows to batch convert .MOV files, which provides the option of injecting custom FFMPEG commands for each file. The app natively offers overlay (drawtext) of timecode starting at 00:00:00:00. I also see that it knows and preserves the metadata time for each file as this is included in the commands "-metadata creation_time="2022-06-27T16:00:30.730888500Z"


I would like to have the timecode start at the creation time, and was wondering how I might be able to offset the timecode as such. Or...is there another way of overlaying (drawtext-ing) a time counter, starting at creation time ? I would also like to overlay the creation date as well. Thanks in advance for your advice.

ffmpeg api alternate transcoding and remuxing for same file
21 juin 2022, par Alexandre NoviusContext


Hello !


I'm currently working on the development of a small library allowing to cut an h.264 video on any frame, but without re-encoding (transcoding) the whole video. The idea is to re-encode only the GOP on which we want to cut, and to rewrite (remux) directly the others GOP.


The avcut project (https://github.com/anyc/avcut) allows to do that, but requires a systematic decoding of each package, and seems to not work with the recent versions of ffmpeg from the tests I could do and from the recent feedbacks in the github issues.


As a beginner, I started from the code examples provided in the ffmpeg documentation, in particular : transcoding.c and remuxing.c.


Problem encountered


The problem I'm having is that I can't get both transcoding and remuxing to work properly at the same time. In particular, depending on the method I use to initialize the AVCodecParameters of the output video stream, transcoding works, or remuxing works :


- 

avcodec_parameters_copy
works well for remuxingavcodec_parameters_from_context
works well for transcoding






In case I choose
avcodec_parameters_from_context
, the transcoded GOP are correctly read by my video player (parole), but the remuxed packets are not read, and ffprobe does not show/detect them.

In case I choose
avcodec_parameters_from_context
, the remuxing GOP are correctly read by my video player, but the transcoding key_frame are bugged (I have the impression that the b-frame and p-frame are ok), andffprobe -i
return an error about the NAL of the key-frames :

[h264 @ 0x55ec8a079300] sps_id 32 out of range
[h264 @ 0x55ec8a079300] Invalid NAL unit size (1677727148 > 735).
[h264 @ 0x55ec8a079300] missing picture in access unit with size 744



I suspect that the problem is related to the extradata of the packets. Through some experiments on the different attributes of the output AVCodecParameters, it seems that it is the
extradata
andextradata_size
attributes that are responsible for the functioning of one method or the other.

Version


ffmpeg development branch retrieved on 2022-05-17 from https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.


Compiled with
--enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-decoder=png --enable-encoder=png


Code


My code is written in c++ and is based on two classes : a class defining the parameters and methods on the input file (
InputContexts
) and a class defining them for the output file (OutputContexts
). The code of these two classes is defined in the following files :

- 

- contexts.h
- contexts.cpp






The code normally involved in the problem is the following :


- 

- stream initialization




int OutputContexts::init(const char* out_filename, InputContexts* input_contexts){
 int ret;
 int stream_index = 0;

 avformat_alloc_output_context2(&ofmt_ctx, NULL, NULL, out_filename);
 if (!ofmt_ctx) {
 fprintf(stderr, "Could not create output context\n");
 ret = AVERROR_UNKNOWN;
 return ret;
 }

 av_dump_format(ofmt_ctx, 0, out_filename, 1);
 
 encoders.resize(input_contexts->ifmt_ctx->nb_streams, nullptr);
 codecs.resize(input_contexts->ifmt_ctx->nb_streams, nullptr);
 
 // stream mapping
 for (int i = 0; i < input_contexts->ifmt_ctx->nb_streams; i++) {
 AVStream *out_stream;
 AVStream *in_stream = input_contexts->ifmt_ctx->streams[i];
 AVCodecContext* decoder_ctx = input_contexts->decoders[i];
 
 // add new stream to output context
 out_stream = avformat_new_stream(ofmt_ctx, NULL);
 if (!out_stream) {
 fprintf(stderr, "Failed allocating output stream\n");
 ret = AVERROR_UNKNOWN;
 return ret;
 }

 // from avcut blog
 av_dict_copy(&out_stream->metadata, in_stream->metadata, 0);

 out_stream->time_base = in_stream->time_base;

 // encoder
 if (decoder_ctx->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO){
 ret = prepare_encoder_video(i, input_contexts);
 if (ret < 0){
 fprintf(stderr, "Error while preparing encoder for stream #%u\n", i);
 return ret;
 }

 // from avcut

Example


To illustrate my problem, I provide here a test code using the two classes that alternates between transcoding and remuxing at each key-frame encountered in the file using my classes.


- 

- trans_remux.cpp




To compile the code :


g++ -o trans_remux trans_remux.cpp contexts.cpp -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS `pkg-config --libs libavfilter` -lfmt -g



Currently the code is using
avcodec_parameters_copy
(contexts.cpp:333
), so it works well for remuxing. If you want to test the version withavcodec_parameters_from_context
, pls comment from line 333 to 337 incontexts.cpp
and uncomment from line 340 to 344 and recompile.
