• Getting friendly output status of FFMPEG transcode

  23 avril 2013, par SamIAm

  When I transcode a file using

  ffmpeg -i input.avi  -vcodec libx264 output.mp4

  the ffmpeg program will show the status of the file being transcoded bit by bit. It will fill up the screen and if I use a for loop to transcode multiple files, after a while I do not know which file it is up to.

  Is there a way to update only the last line on the bash screen when it is transcoding ?

• Getting accurate time from FFMPeg with Objective C (Audio Queue Services)

  2 avril 2012, par Winston

  My iPhone app plays an audio file using FFMPeg.

  I'm getting the elapsed time (to show to user) from the playing audio (in minutes and seconds after converting from microseconds, given by FFMPeg) like so :

  AudioTimeStamp currentTimeStamp;
  
  AudioQueueGetCurrentTime (audioQueue, NULL, &currentTimeStamp, NULL);
  
  
  
  getFFMPEGtime = currentTimeStamp.mSampleTime/self.basicAudioDescription.mSampleRate;
  
  
  
  self.currentAudioTime = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%02d:%02d",
  
                              (int) getFFMPEGtime / (int)60000000,
  
                              (int) ((getFFMPEGtime % 60000000)/1000000)];

  Everything works fine, but when I scrub back or forward to play another portion of the song, the elapsed time will go back to zero, no matter the current position. The timer will always zero out.

  I know I'm suposed to do some math to keep track of the old time and the new time, maybe constructing another clock or so, perhaps implementing another callback function, etc... I'm not sure what way I should go.

  My questions are :

  1) What's the best approach to keep track of the elapsed time when going back/forward in a song, avoiding the clock to always going back to zero ?

  2) Should I look deeply into FFMPeg functions or should I stick with Objective-C and Cocoa Touch for solving this problem ?

  Please, I need some advices/ideas from experienced programmers. I'm stuck. Thanks beforehand !

• Transcoding & displaying user-uploaded videos for cross-browser/platform compatibility

  5 avril 2012, par Jonathan Amend

  I want to display user-uploaded videos in high quality on different browsers/platforms. I think I have a pretty good start, but there are a few issues. I have at my disposal ffmpeg 0.10 (called from PHP) and jwPlayer 5.8 (licensed).

  Ideally I would like to support :

  • Browsers with Flash 9+
  • Modern Firefox/Chrome/Safari without Flash
  • iOS 4.1+
  • Android 2.2+

  My current transcoding commands are :

  $commands = array(
  
      'flv' => "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i {$sourceFile} -b 500k -ar 22050 -ab 64 {$tmpFileName}.flv 2>&1",
  
      'webm' => "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i {$sourceFile} -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -ab 96k -ar 44100 -b 500k {$tmpFileName}.webm 2>&1",
  
      'mp4' => "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -i {$sourceFile} -acodec libfaac -ab 96k -vcodec libx264 -level 21 -refs 2 -vf 'scale=trunc(ih*a/2)*2:trunc(iw/a/2)*2' -b 500k -bt 1000k -threads 0 -f mp4 {$tmpFileName}.pre.mp4 2>&1",
  
      'jpg' => "/usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i {$sourceFile} -ss 5 -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo {$tmpFileName}.jpg 2>&1"
  
  );
  
  
  
  $fastStartCommand = "/usr/bin/qt-faststart {$tmpFileName}.pre.mp4 {$tmpFileName}.mp4");

  My current display code is this :

  <video controls="controls" width="{$width}" height="{$height}" poster="{$fileJPG}" style="width: {$width}px; height: {$height}px;">
  
      <source src="{$fileMP4}" type="video/mp4" data-ext="mp4"></source>
  
      <source src="{$fileWEBM}" type="video/webm" data-ext="webm"></source>
  
      <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/{$fileMP4}" title="Play Video">
  
          <img border="0" src="http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/{$fileJPG}" width='0' height='0' alt="Play Video" />
  
      </a>
  
  </video>
  
  <code class="echappe-js">&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;<br />
  
  swfobject.embedSWF(<br />
  
      &amp;#39;/flash/jwPlayer.swf&amp;#39;,<br />
  
      &amp;#39;video&amp;#39;,<br />
  
      {$width},<br />
  
      {$height},<br />
  
      &amp;#39;9.0.0&amp;#39;,<br />
  
      &amp;#39;&amp;#39;,<br />
  
      {<br />
  
          file: &amp;#39;{$fileFLV}&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          width: {$width},<br />
  
          height: {$height},<br />
  
          provider: &amp;#39;video&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          stretching: &amp;#39;uniform&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          smoothing: &amp;#39;true&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          dock: &amp;#39;true&amp;#39;<br />
  
      },<br />
  
      {<br />
  
          menu: &amp;#39;false&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          allowfullscreen: &amp;#39;true&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          allowscriptaccess: &amp;#39;always&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          allownetworking: &amp;#39;always&amp;#39;,<br />
  
          wmode: &amp;#39;transparent&amp;#39;<br />
  
      }<br />
  
  );<br />
  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  

  The idea is to prefer the Flash player (we have many custom skins that we would like to keep using), then fall back to HTML 5 video, and if that fails, show the JPEG with a link to the mp4 file (that seems to work as a last-ditch effort for iOS 2/3 and old browsers so they can at least play the video by launching QuickTime).

  The main issues that I'm not sure how to solve right now are :

  • How can I show a higher quality video in Flash ? I tried using the mp4 video instead of the flv but it doesn't work and I only get sound, no video. I think Flash is supposed to support h.264 these days, but how ? And do I have to use a different transcoding method for older and newer versions of Flash ?
  • How can I transcode the video with better quality ? Right now I am using the same bitrate for all resolutions. Any chance there is a way for ffmpeg to adjust the bitrate automatically ? Or can I detect and match the resolution of the uploaded video to a list of resolution -> bitrates somehow ?
