• ffmpeg libx264 AVCodecContext settings

  21 mai 2014, par integra753

  I am using a recent windows (Jan 2011) ffmpeg build and trying to record video in H264. It is recording fine in MPEG4 using the following settings :

  c->codec_id = CODEC_ID_MPEG4;
  
  c->codec_type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO;
  
  c->width = VIDEO_WIDTH;
  
  c->height = VIDEO_HEIGHT;
  
  c->bit_rate = c->width * c->height * 4;
  
  c->time_base.den = FRAME_RATE;
  
  c->time_base.num = 1;
  
  c->gop_size = 12;
  
  c->pix_fmt = PIX_FMT_YUV420P;

  Simply changing CODEC Id to H264 causes avcodec_open() to fail (-1). I found a list of possible settings Encoding h.264 with libavcodec/x264. I have tried these, without setting pix_fmt, avcodec_open() still fails but if I additionally set c->pix_fmt = PIX_FMT_YUV420P ; then I get a divide by zero exception.

  I then came across a few posts on here that say I should set nothing (with exception of code_id, codec_type, width, height and perhaps bit_rate and pix_fmt) as the library now chooses the best settings itself. I have tried various combinations, still avcode_open() fails.

  Does anyone have some advice on what to do or some settings that are current ?

  Thanks.

  Here are one set of H264 settings which give the issue I describe :

  static AVStream* AddVideoStream(AVFormatContext *pOutputFmtCtx, 
  
  int frameWidth, int frameHeight, int fps)

  ctx->height = frameHeight;           //576

  ctx->weighted_p_pred = 2; // wpredp=2
  
  // libx264-main.ffpreset preset
  
  ctx->flags2|=CODEC_FLAG2_8X8DCT;
  
  ctx->flags2^=CODEC_FLAG2_8X8DCT;    // flags2=-dct8x8
  
  
  
  // if set this get divide by 0 error on avcodec_open()
  
  // if don't set it get -1 error on avcodec_open()
  
  //ctx->pix_fmt = PIX_FMT_YUV420P;

• ffmpeg - extract thumbnail from middle of clip duration

  13 février 2013, par codelove

  Hi I am using the following ffmpeg command to extract a thumbnail from the beginning of a clip with ffmpeg :

  /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -ss 00:00:1 -i $fileName.flv -s 150x100 -vframes 1 $fileName.jpg

  Is it posible to extract a thumbnail from the middle of the clips duration with ffmpeg alone ?

  Each clip is of a different length.

  If ffmpeg does not supply this option, I know it is possible to get the clips duration into this type of format 00:00:01.26 and then I suppose I can divide it in half, but I am not sure if this is the best approach, and I am also (embarrassed to say) not entirely sure how to divide that format in half with PHP.

  Example code would be appreciated.

  Thank you.
