• FFMPEG, want to encode 720x480 and automatically scale to 640x480 or 854x480 as necessary depending on the ratio

  Note : all MKVs are sourced from my original Farscape Starburst DVDs, MPEG2.
I've been slowly re-encoding my old TV shows into a crisper format and I have for some shows, mainly extras (but also full episodes) MKVs that are a mix of 4:3 and 16:9. Usually I open the files up in Mediainfo and find out which ones are 4:3, stick them in one folder to encode in 640x480, then the same with 16:9. It's worked fine for the umpteen amount of times I've had to encode my shows.
I would like to try to expedite the process with a single FFMPEG command that can automatically detect if the files are 4:3 or 16:9 and encode them properly to 640x480 or 854x480.

  


  My main FFMPEG commands have been these two, depending on which aspect ratio I'm using :

  


  854x480p

  


  `for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level:v 4.0 -crf 20 -c:a copy -map 0 -vf scale=854:480,setdar=16/9 encoded/"${i%.mkv}.mkv"; done


  


  640x480p

  


  `for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level:v 4.0 -crf 20 -c:a copy -map 0 -vf scale=640:480,setdar=4/3 encoded/"${i%.mkv}.mkv"; done


  


  These two have worked fine lately since I got away from the extraneous -x264-params nonsense I picked up years ago. Again, I'm trying to streamline. I found this command a day ago and it SEEMED to look PERFECT :

  


  `for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level:v 4.0 -crf 20 -c:a copy -map 0 -vf scale=w='if(gt(dar,854/480),min(854,iw*sar),2*trunc(iw*sar*oh/ih/2))':h='if(gt(dar,854/480),2*trunc(ih*ow/iw/sar/2),min(480,ih))' encoded/"${i%.mkv}.mkv"; done


  


  Looks perfect and works great for 640x480. The only problem is that it returns 852x480, every time. I even tried a modification I found where you set the setsar=1 AFTER the scale filter, and it does nothing.

  


  These are the first warnings I get when I try to run the command, with a 16:9 video, but it still completes :

  


  `[Parsed_scale_0 @ 0x56299c22fcc0] Circular references detected for width 'if(gt(dar, 854/480), min(854,iw*sar), 2*trunc(iw*sar*oh/ih/2))' and height 'if(gt(dar, 854/480), 2*trunc(ih*ow/iw/sar/2), min(480,ih))' - possibly invalid.

  It encodes and I can see the resolution it outputs to :

  TL ;DR

  


  EDIT : The actual problem is that the command is encoding the 16:9 aspect ratio files to 852x480 instead of 854x480. 854x480 is actually what I would like. 640x480 for the 4:3 is fine. Apologies, for the lack of clarification.

  


  Videos encode (from original Farscape Starburst DVDs MPEG2) properly to libx264 640x480 for 4:3 but not to 854x480 for 16:9. 16:9 instead encodes to 852x480, despite what command is telling it to do.

  


  Advice ? Thanks in advance ! Anything to make my re-encoding a little bit less tedious. I've been googling for hours and searching, but nothing seems to make it click. Thank you again !

• Aspect ratio problems at transcoding with ffmpeg [closed]

  19 novembre 2023, par udippel

  I have a huge collection of videos from the last 20+ years, videos in all sorts of formats. I use gerbera as open source UPnP-AV media server. Our TV handles only very limited of these formats. Therefore I use the transcoding feature of gerbera (I don't want to convert the 2000+ files ; thereby avoiding loss of multiple audio tracks, (multiple) subtitles, and so forth).

  


  This is my current unified argument line for ffmpeg :
-c:v mpeg2video -maxrate 20000k -vf setdar=16/9 -r 24000/1001 -qscale:v 4 -top 1 -c:a mp2 -f mpeg -y
It works pretty okay, except of the aspect ratios. Well, I don't understand this fully, because ffprobe for File A states :
Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg4 (Simple Profile) (XVID / 0x44495658), yuv420p, 624x464 [SAR 1:1 DAR 39:29], 1500 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
This file displays very well.
File B comes as :
Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p(tv, bt709, progressive), 960x720, SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 180k tbc (default)
This file displays horribly squeezed vertically and doesn't fill the screen left and right neither, with the same settings of the TV. Also, playing this file (and others, naturally) the TV doesn't offer the 14:9 display option, which is available e.g. for the file further up.

  


  Both have same SAR, DAR, almost identical H:V ratios (1.345, 1.333) ; and almost identical DAR.

  


  My questions :

  


  

  1. Why, despite of almost identical pixel ratios, DAR and SAR are these files handled so differently in one and the same session on the same TV (SONY), please ?

  


  2. With which method could I instruct ffmpeg to display the second file properly, too, please ?
(I have already tried 'scale' ; but to no avail. Which could have been foreseen, since the ratios are already very close.)
My guess is, that the (tv, bt709, progressive) mess things up.
(I have already tried to add the yuv420p in the argument line, also to no avail.)

  


  


  Appreciate any help,

  


  Uwe

I have already tried force_original_aspect_ratio, but also here, nothing improving.
Also, I played with -aspect, but the aspects are okay, and would need individual corrections, which I can't and don't to do for 2000+ files. A simple 16:9 doesn't cut it.
