• FFMPEG fails with only two input frames

  3 mars 2019, par JeffThompson

  I’d like to use ffmpeg’s great frame interpolation to blend two images. I get great results when testing with about a dozen frames, but when only using two it finishes immediately and I get a video file that can’t be opened.

  My command :

  ffmpeg -y -r 24 -pattern_type glob -i "TestFrames/*[0-1].png" -pix_fmt yuv420p -filter:v "minterpolate='mi_mode=mci:mc_mode=aobmc:me_mode=bidir:vsbmc=1:fps=1024'" -vsync 2 8.mp4

  Output from ffmpeg :

  So, what is the problem now ?

• FFMPEG RGB Lossless conversion video

  29 août 2017, par DCDCDC

  I have been experiencing difficulty in finding many answers with FFMPEG documentation, forums and here.
  What I am trying to do is a compress a screen capture video but with just RGB data.
  The steps I am currently taking are ;

  ffmpeg -f avfoundation -pix_fmt 0rgb -r "30" -i "1" -vcodec libx264rgb -pix_fmt rgb24 -crf 0 -t 25 -q 0 -y ~/Desktop/RGB.mkv

  This captures the screen on my mac. To the best of my knowledge, this creates a lossless file and I have compared screen shots that confirm this.
  The next step is where I think I have an issue.
  Because I want to run the compression on raw RGB data I need to convert the MKV to an RGB file ;

  ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/RGB.mkv -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -crf 0 -ss 00:00:03 -to 00:02:01 -q 0 -y ~/Desktop/out.rgb

  Once I have this I can then compress and decompress successfully. I then get a working file to play back using ;

  But here I have pixel variance. My guess is there is a RGB-YUV-RGB conversion happening somewhere but I am not smart enough to work out where.
  If any of you can help I would forever grateful.

  Here is a picture of the two stills side by side that shows the differences ;

  pixel difference

  If you need anything more I can post it also.
  Cheers,
