• Theatrical quality ffmpeg/x264 encoding of a high-motion 1080p video

  2 décembre 2011, par Ian

  I've been struggling with encoding videos using FFMPEG and x264. The output stutters when played back in Quicktime, while in VLC it shows a lot of compression artifacts at the same places Quicktime stutters. So it seems like Quicktime is stuttering because it's trying to suppress the corruption/artifacts.

  The videos have a lot of random motion in them, including frames where 75% of the pixels will change at a random interval (the video is software generated so it's truly pseudo-random). The compression seems to be choking in these places where it's likely detecting a "scene cut" incorrectly. It also seems to choke at regular intervals where I guess it's doing a keyframe.

  I've based my encoding preset off of the x264-hq preset that comes with FFMPEG. I've tried turning off scene cut detection, and playing with the keyint/g and keyint_min options. Setting g to 1 makes it work, but blows out the filesize. I've tried the lossless presets, but they won't playback at all in Quicktime. Oddly, I haven't had any problems when working with a lower-resolution test video (1440x810).

  Here's the preset I have right now, which works, but yields a file that's approximately 60% larger than the (non-working) hq preset yields. Is there any way to improve upon this ? The filesize doesn't matter much, I just want something that will playback anywhere and be very high quality.

• FFMPEG text file [migrated]

  23 décembre 2012, par user872387

  I am giving the input file in the command line like this :

  ffmpeg -i catch.flv.

  The information about the file such as resolution, frame rate, bit rate etc is displayed in the terminal. I want this information to be stored as a (.txt) file. I have tried ffmpeg -i catch.flv > catch.txt. The .txt file was created successfully but the information is not stored in it. Could someone please help ?

• How to write NALs produced by x264_encoder_encode() using ffmpeg av_interleaved_write_frame()

  After the encoding is complete, I check the output file output_file.flv. I notice it's size is very large : 101MB and it does not play. If I use ffmpeg to decode/encode the input file, then I get an output file about 83MB in size (which is about the same size as the original .mp4 file used as input). Also, the 83MB output from just using ffmpeg C api, as opposed to using x264 for the encoding step, plays just fine. Does anyone know where I am going wrong ? I have tried researching this for a few days now but with no luck :(. I feel that I am close to making it work, however, I just cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you !
