• Manual encoding into MPEG-TS

  4 juillet 2014, par Lane

  SO...

  I am trying to take a H264 Annex B byte stream video and encode it into MPEG-TS in pure Java. My goals is to create a minimal MPEG-TS, Single Program, valid stream and to not include any timing information information (PCR, PTS, DTS).

  I am currently at the point where my generated file can be passed to ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i myVideo.ts) and ffmpeg reports...

  [NULL @ 0x7f8103022600] start time is not set in estimate_timings_from_pts
  
  
  
  Input #0, mpegts, from 'video.ts':
  
  Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A
  
  Program 1 
  
    Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (Main) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc

  ...it seems like this warning for start time is not a big deal... and ffmpeg is unable to determine how long the video is. If I create another mpeg-ts file from my video file (ffmpeg -i myVideo.ts -vcodec copy validVideo.ts) and run ffmpeg -i validVideo.ts I get...

  Input #0, mpegts, from 'video2.ts':
  
  Duration: 00:00:11.61, start: 1.400000, bitrate: 3325 kb/s
  
  Program 1 
  
    Metadata:
  
      service_name    : Service01
  
      service_provider: FFmpeg
  
    Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (Main) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc

  ...so you can see the timing information and bitrate is there and so is the metadata.

  My H264 video is comprised of only I and P Frames (with the SPS and PPS preceding the I Frame of course) and the way that I am creating my MPEG-TS stream is...

  1. Write a single PAT at the beginning of the file
  2. Write a single PMT at the beginning of the file
  3. Create TS and PES packets from SPS, PPS and I Frame (AUD NALs too, if this is required ?)
  4. Create TS and PES packets from P Frame (again, AUD NALs too, if required)
  5. For the last payload of either an I Frame or P Frame, add filler bytes to an adaptation field to make sure it fits into a full TS packet
  6. Repeat 3-5 for the entire file

  ...my PAT looks like this...

  4740 0010 0000 b00d 0001 c100 0000 01f0
  
  002a b104 b2ff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff

  ...and my PMT looks like this...

  ...notice after the c100 00, the "ff ff", f0... says that we are not using a PCR... Also notice that I have updated my CRC to reflect this change to the PMT. My first I Frame packet looks like...

  2fda 6550 f907 3f87

  ...and whenever an I Frame or P Frame is ending, I have a TS packet with an adaptation field like...

  4701 003c b000 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  
  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  
  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff

  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  
  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
  
  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff

  ...where the first b0 bytes are the adaptation field stuffing bytes and the remaining ones are the final bytes of the I or P Frame. So as you can tell I can use ffmpeg and pass it my file to create a valid movie in any format. However, I need the file I create to be in the proper format and I cannot quite figure out what the last piece I am missing is. Any ideas ?

  Context

  



  I would want to set an audio WAV as the background sound of a video WEBM. The video can be shorter or longer than the audio. At the moment I add the audio over the video, I don't know the length of both streams. The audio must repeat until the video ends (the audio can be truncated if the video ends before the end of the last repetition of the audio).

  



  The software I use

  



  I use ffmpeg version 4.2.2-1ubuntu1 18.04.sav0.

  



  The problem

  



  ffmpeg seems to enter in an infinite loop when it proccesses in order to mix the audio and the video. Also, the length of the currently-generating-output-file (which contains both video and audio) is equal to the length of the audio, instead of the length of the video.

  



  The problem seems to be triggered by this command line :

  



  ffmpeg -i directory_1/video.webm -stream_loop -1 -fflags +shortest -max_interleave_delta 50000 -i directory_2/audio.wav directory_3/video_and_audio.webm


  



  Results

  



  Actual Results

  



  Three things :

  



  


  1. The infinite loop of the ffmpeg process : I must manually stop the ffmpeg process

  


  2. The output video file with music (which is currently generating but output anyway) : it contains both audio and video. But the length of the output file is equal to the length of the audio, instead of the length of the video.

  


  3. The following output logs :

  Expected Results

  



  


  1. No infinite loop during the ffmpeg process

  


  2. Concerning the output logs, I don't know what it should look.

  


  3. The output file with the audio and the video should :

     



     3.1. If the video is longer than the audio, then the audio is repeated until it exactly fits the video. The audio can be truncated.

     



     3.2. If the video is shorter than the audio, then the audio is truncated and exactly fits the video.

     



     3.3. If both video and audio are of the same length, then the audio exactly fits the video.

  


  



  How to reproduce this bug ? (+ required data)

  



  


  1. Download the following files (resp. audio and video) (I must refresh these download links every 24 hours) :

     



     1.1. https://a.uguu.se/dmgsmItjJMDq_audio.wav

     



     1.2. https://a.uguu.se/w3qHDlGq6mOW_video.webm

  


  2. Move them into the directory/directories of your choice.

  


  3. Open your CLI, move to the adequat directory and copy/paste/execute the instruction given in Part. The Problem (don't forget to eventually modify this instruction by indicating the adequat directories, according to step 2.).

  


  4. You'll face my problem.

  


  



  What did I try to fix the bug ?

  



  Nothing, since I don't even understand why the bug occures.

  



  The question

  



  How to correct my command in order to mix these audio and video streams without any infinite loop during the ffmpeg process, keeping in mind that I don't know their length, and that audio must be repeated in order to fit the video, even if audio must be truncated (in the case of the last repetition of the audio file must be truncated because the video stream has just ended) ?

• Salty Game Music

  31 mai 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General

  Have you heard of Google’s Native Client (NaCl) project ? Probably not. Basically, it allows native code modules to run inside a browser (where ‘browser’ is defined pretty narrowly as ‘Google Chrome’ in this case). Programs are sandboxed so they aren’t a security menace (or so the whitepapers claim) but are allowed to access a variety of APIs including video and audio. The latter API is significant because sound tends to be forgotten in all the hullabaloo surrounding non-Flash web technologies. At any rate, enjoy NaCl while you can because I suspect it won’t be around much longer.

  After my recent work upgrading some old music synthesis programs to user more modern audio APIs, I got the idea to try porting the same code to run under NaCl in Chrome (first Nosefart, then Game Music Emu/GME). In this exercise, I met with very limited success. This blog post documents some of the pitfalls in my excursion.

  
  
  

  Infrastructure
  People who know me know that I’m rather partial — to put it gently — to straight-up C vs. C++. The NaCl SDK is heavily skewed towards C++. However, it does provide a Python tool called init_project.py which can create the skeleton of a project and can do so in C with the '-c' option :

  ./init_project.py -c -n saltynosefart
  

  This generates something that can be built using a simple ‘make’. When I added Nosefart’s C files, I learned that the project Makefile has places for project-necessary CFLAGS but does not honor them. The problem is that the generated Makefile includes a broader system Makefile that overrides the CFLAGS in the project Makefile. Going into the system Makefile and changing "CFLAGS =" -> "CFLAGS +=" solves this problem.

  Still, maybe I’m the first person to attempt building something in Native Client so I’m the first person to notice this ?

  Basic Playback
  At least the process to create an audio-enabled NaCl app is well-documented. Too bad it doesn’t seem to compile as advertised. According to my notes on the matter, I filled in PPP_InitializeModule() with the appropriate boilerplate as outlined in the docs but got a linker error concerning get_browser_interface().

  Plan B : C++
  Obviously, the straight C stuff is very much a second-class citizen in this NaCl setup. Fortunately, there is already that fully functional tone generator example program in the limited samples suite. Plan B is to copy that project and edit it until it accepts Nosefart/GME audio instead of a sine wave.

  The build system assumes all C++ files should have .cc extensions. I have to make some fixes so that it will accept .cpp files (either that, or rename all .cpp to .cc, but that’s not very clean).

  Making Noise
  You’ll be happy to know that I did successfully swap out the tone generator for either Nosefart or GME. Nosefart has a slightly fickle API that requires revving the emulator frame by frame and generating a certain number of audio samples. GME’s API is much easier to work with in this situation — just tell it how many samples it needs to generate and give it a pointer to a buffer. I played NES and SNES music play through this ad-hoc browser plugin, and I’m confident all the other supported formats would have worked if I went through the bother of converting the music data files into C headers to be included in the NaCl executable binaries (dynamically loading data via the network promised to be a far more challenging prospect reserved for phase 3 of the project).

  Portable ?
  I wouldn’t say so. I developed it on Linux and things ran fine there. I tried to run the same binaries on the Windows version of Chrome to no avail. It looks like it wasn’t even loading the .nexe files (NaCl executables).

  Thinking About The (Lack Of A) Future
  As I was working on this project, I noticed that the online NaCl documentation materialized explicit banners warning that my NaCl binaries compiled for Chrome 11 won’t work for Chrome 12 and that I need to code to the newly-released 0.3 SDK version. Not a fuzzy feeling. I also don’t feel good that I’m working from examples using bleeding edge APIs that feature deprecation as part of their naming convention, e.g., pp::deprecated::ScriptableObject().

  Ever-changing API + minimal API documentation + API that only works in one browser brand + requiring end user to explicitly enable feature = … well, that’s why I didn’t bother to release any showcase pertaining to this little experiment. Would have been neat, but I strongly suspect that this is yet another one of those APIs that Google decides to deprecate soon.
