• Create Video Thumbnail of All Files in a Directory via FFmpeg and PHP

  2 February 2012, by Hashid Hameed

  I have searched all over the Google and StackOverFlow, but still did not find a solution for this.

  I want to generate video thumbnail of all mp4 video files in a directory and name the thumbnails as "filename.mp4".jpg

  I have ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php installed on my server. I also succeeded in creating thumbnails of one file at a time.

  So this is the situation, I have a directory named uploads which has lots of mp4 videos.
  Now, when I run the script, thumbnail of size 100x100 shoud be created automatically and placed in another folder "skrin". Eg: xxx.mp4 should have xxx.mp4.jpg has the thumb name.

  IMPORTANT: My filenames have spaces, single quotes, brackets etc in their file names. So the script should be able to handle this.

  Could some one help me ? I use the following shell command in php using exec to generate thumb of an individual video.

  exec("/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -itsoffset -105 -i 'xxx haha.mp4' -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 100x100 'xxx haha.mp4.jpg'");

• How to create mpeg-dash mpd file with multiple periods?

  14 September 2022, by Nimish Agrawal

  I wanted to join multiple mp4 files to create a mpd file. I wanted to have each of the individual mp4 files to be in different periods.

  


  I tried to do that using ffmpeg

  


  ffmpeg -i INPUT_FILE1.mp4 INPUT_FILE2.mp4 ...options... -f dash output.mpd


  


  But it is only considering first mpd file. Is it possible to do this using ffmpeg or any other tool?

  


  ffmpeg -y -re -i big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4  -c:v libx264 -x264opts "keyint=24:min-keyint=24:no-scenecut" -r 24  -c:a aac -b:a 128k  -bf 1 -b_strategy 0 -sc_threshold 0 -pix_fmt yuv420p  -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0  -b:v:0 250k  -filter:v:0 "scale=-2:240" -profile:v:0 baseline  -b:v:1 750k  -filter:v:1 "scale=-2:480" -profile:v:1 main  -b:v:2 1500k -filter:v:2 "scale=-2:720" -profile:v:2 high  -use_timeline 1 -use_template 1 -window_size 5 -adaptation_sets "id=0,streams=v id=1,streams=a"  -f dash movie-dash\movie.mpd


  


• Convert 2 channel mp4 to each mono wav file using FFMPEG or Python code

  30 May 2024, by Harish Alwala

  I am new to audio files and its codecs.

  


  I would like to convert a 2 channel mp4 file to a single mono wav files.

  


  My understanding is a when I say 2 channel, it stores speech coming from each microphone in a separate channel. And when I split the channels to each individual mono wav files, I get speech of each microphone.

  


  My intension here is to get the speech from each channel and convert them to text. This way I can set the name of the speaker based on channel.

  


  I tried with ffmpeg and python code as well, unfortunately I get two files with same content.

  


  Looking at the following details
can someone construct ffmpeg command or python script to convert the 2 channel mp4 file to 2 individual mono wav files.

  


  FFprobe
ffprobe -i Two-Channel.mp4 -show_streams -select_streams a

  


  Result
