• ffmpeg : Combine/merge multiple mp4 videos - not working

  9 juin 2016, par dtbaker

  Here is the command I am using to combine multiple videos :

  ffmpeg -i 75_540_38HQ2.mp4 -i 76_70_20.mp4 -i 76_173_80.mp4 -i 81_186_35.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy Mux1.mp4

  The resulting Mux1.mp4 does not contain all videos. Only the first video (75_540_38HQ2.mp4). The file size of the source and resulting video is below (as you can see, resulting video is slightly larger than first vid) :

  $ ls -lh
  
   rw-r—r— 1 dbaker dbaker  42M 2011-03-24 11:59 75_540_38HQ2.mp4
  
   rw-r—r— 1 dbaker dbaker 236M 2011-03-24 12:09 76_173_80.mp4
  
   rw-r—r— 1 dbaker dbaker  26M 2011-03-24 12:05 76_70_20.mp4
  
   rw-r—r— 1 dbaker dbaker  54M 2011-03-24 12:15 81_186_35.mp4
  
   rw-r—r— 1 dbaker dbaker  44M 2011-03-24 14:48 Mux1.mp4
  

  Here is the output of the ffmpeg command. To me it looks ok, showing the multiple source inputs and the single output.

  Am I doing something blindingly stupid here ?

  The source videos came from a video camera, and are small snippets taken with ffmpeg -i bigfile.mp4 -ss 20 -t 10 -vcodec copy etc..

  Thanks heaps !!

  Edit : couldn’t solve it so I just use avidemux GUI tool. It seemed to append the MP4’s just fine.

  Must be a problem with MP4’s or just the ones that come off a gopro camera.

• Dash.js not playing mpd files made with ffmpeg

  31 décembre 2022, par Macster

  I'm using ffmpeg to create chunks and manifest of a webm file which I want to live stream with Dash.js. Unfortunately Dash.js won't play the mpd file, no matter which way I create the chunks and manifest. However, the sample mpd URL from Dash.js is working.

  UPDATE

  


  Well, it seems like the problem in general was, that the mpd's wouldn't play from that /dash folder. So i took a look into the code and found a bad routing. Anyways, the mpd would't start with the given command I used, probably becasue it creates a dynamic manifest, like @Markus Schumann says. So I'm going with a new one which seems to be working for now, but not very well.

• FFMPEG - Converting any kind of file to Mp4 compatible with IOS and Flash

  14 février 2021, par jax

  I am struggling with FFmpeg within Drupal Video Module to produce files to MP4 that is compatible with IOS and Flash Player10 and up.
I have used the following commands so far, please note that the variables starting with " !" are placeholders and will be replaces with the proper items :

  


  FFmpeg -strict experimental -y -i !videofile -pass 1 -s !widthx!height -b:v 500k -threads 0 -vcodec libx264 -vf "pad=!paddingwidth:!paddingheight:!paddingleft:!paddingtop:000000" -preset slow -an !convertfile

  The above command produce an error as :

The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.
Alternatively use the non experimental encoder 'libfaac'.


  


  Another command that I used is :

  


  FFmpeg -i !videofile -an -pass 1 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -b 500k -threads auto !convertfile

FFMpeg -y -i !videofile -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -pass 2 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -b 500k -threads auto !convertfile


  


  Output for the first pass :

  The above command produces the file correctly however it cannot be played in flash player. One thing that I noticed is this may happen if the input file is mp4 as well. This command is executed for users uploading files, so the input file could be any format.
