• Intel QuickSync error : Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

  30 November 2018, by Arie Syamsudin

  I want to make IPTV with a topology like this:

  Restream / source -----> IPTV server -----> User

  The problem at the moment is the question of bandwidth that is still large.

  Finally I announced by IPTV software providers to transcode with Intel QuickSync video and FFmpeg.

  I followed the steps given by the software provider at the following link:
  http://www.ezhometech.com/document/intel_ffmpeg.txt

  Which comes from the link below:
  https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-paper...

  I installed IPTV software on a laptop with an Intel processor, chipset and VGA.

• FFMpeg: write h264 stream to mp4 container without changes

  3 March 2017, by Bumblebee

  Good day.

  For brevity, the code omits error handling and memory management.

  I want to capture h264 video stream and pack it to mp4 container without changes. Since i don’t control the source of stream, i can not make assumptions about stream structure. In this way i must probe input stream.

      AVProbeData probeData;
  
      probeData.buf_size = s->BodySize();
  
      probeData.buf = s->GetBody();
  
      probeData.filename = "";
  
  
  
      AVInputFormat* inFormat = av_probe_input_format(&probeData, 1);  

  This code correctly defines h264 stream.

  Next, i create input format context,

      unsigned char* avio_input_buffer = reinterpret_cast<unsigned> (av_malloc(AVIO_BUFFER_SIZE));
  
  
  
      AVIOContext* avio_input_ctx = avio_alloc_context(avio_input_buffer, AVIO_BUFFER_SIZE,
  
          0, this, &amp;read_packet, NULL, NULL);
  
  
  
      AVFormatContext* ifmt_ctx = avformat_alloc_context();
  
      ifmt_ctx->pb = avio_input_ctx;
  
  
  
      int ret = avformat_open_input(&amp;ifmt_ctx, NULL, inFormat, NULL);
  
  </unsigned>

  set image size,

      ifmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec->width = ifmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec->coded_width = width;
  
      ifmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec->height = ifmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec->coded_height = height;

  create output format context,

      unsigned char* avio_output_buffer = reinterpret_cast<unsigned>(av_malloc(AVIO_BUFFER_SIZE));
  
  
  
      AVIOContext* avio_output_ctx = avio_alloc_context(avio_output_buffer, AVIO_BUFFER_SIZE,
  
          1, this, NULL, &amp;write_packet, NULL);
  
  
  
      AVFormatContext* ofmt_ctx = nullptr;
  
      avformat_alloc_output_context2(&amp;ofmt_ctx, NULL, "mp4", NULL);
  
      ofmt_ctx->pb = avio_output_ctx;
  
  
  
      AVDictionary* dict = nullptr;
  
      av_dict_set(&amp;dict, "movflags", "faststart", 0);
  
      av_dict_set(&amp;dict, "movflags", "frag_keyframe+empty_moov", 0);
  
  
  
      AVStream* outVideoStream = avformat_new_stream(ofmt_ctx, nullptr);
  
  
  
      avcodec_copy_context(outVideoStream->codec, ifmt_ctx->streams[0]->codec);
  
  
  
      ret = avformat_write_header(ofmt_ctx, &amp;dict);
  
  </unsigned>

  Initialization is done. Further there is a shifting packets from h264 stream to mp4 container. I dont calculate pts and dts, because source packet has AV_NOPTS_VALUE in them.

      AVPacket pkt;
  
      while (...)
  
      {
  
          ret = av_read_frame(ifmt_ctx, &pkt);
  
          ret = av_interleaved_write_frame(ofmt_ctx, &pkt);
  
          av_free_packet(&pkt);
  
      }

  Further i write trailer and free allocated memory. That is all. Code works and i got playable mp4 file.

  Now the problem: the stream characteristics of the resulting file is not completely consisent with the characteristics of the source stream. In particular, fps and bitrate is higher than it should be.

  As sample, below is output ffplay.exe for source stream

   Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'd:/movies/source.mp4':0/0

  So there is a question, what i missed when copying stream? I will be grateful for any help.

• Graph-based video processing for .NET

  23 October 2016, by Borv

  Does anyone know a good object-oriented library (preferably high-level, like C# or Java) for working with video and audio streams?

  I wrote an app which fiddles with video and audio streams, feeds and such. The original task was simple:

  • grab an RTSP feed
  • display original feed(s) on the display
  • convert it to a series of h264 ts files
  • extract audio into separate MP3 files
  • upload videos and audio to the web site (preferably in real time, few minute delay is acceptable)

  As you may have already guessed it is about recording events (e.g. lectures) and publishing them on the web.

  To pull this out I needed some graph-based non-linear editing for media. Two weeks in, I tried ffmpeg, vlc and WMF. The only library I got to work is ffmpeg, and that comes with lots of "however". WMF required a lot of coding (and I abandoned this path), vlc looked great on paper, but I stumbled across some bugs with input splitting I could not get around (e.g. transcode:es combination flat out refused to work).

  So, the question. What are good non-linear editing libraries besides ffmpeg, vlc and wmf/directshow that allow for building video processing graphs with sources, sinks and filters? Or perhaps good bindings over ffmpeg and vlc allowing to build such graphs?
