• FFMPEG Audio/video out of sync after cutting and concatonating even after transcoding

  4 mai 2020, par Ham789

  I am attempting to take cuts from a set of videos and concatonate them together with the concat demuxer.

  



  However, the audio is out of sync of the video in the output. The audio seems to drift further out of sync as the video progresses. Interestingly, if I click to seek another time in the video with the progress bar on the player, the audio becomes synced up with the video but then gradually drifts out of sync again. Seeking to a new time in the player seems to reset the audio/video. It is like they are being played back at different rates or something. I get this behaviour in both Quicktime and VLC players.

  



  For each video, I decode it, trim a clip from it and then encode it to 4k resolution at 25 fps with its audio :

  



  ffmpeg -ss 0.5 -t 0.5 -i input_video1.mp4 -r 25 -vf scale=3840:2160 output_video1.mp4

  



  I then take each of these videos and concatonate them together with the concat demuxer :

  



  ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i cut_videos.txt -c copy -y output.mp4

  



  I am taking short cuts of each video (approximately 0.5s)

  



  I am using Python's subprocess to automate the cutting and concatonating of the videos.

  



  I am not sure if this happens because of the trimming or concatenation steps but when I play back the intermediate cut video files (output_video1.mp4 in the above command), there seems to be some silence before the audio comes in at the start of the video.

  



  When I concatonate the videos, I sometimes get a lot of these warnings however the audio still becomes out of sync even when I do not get them :

  



  [mp4 @ 0000021a252ce080] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:1; previous: 51792, current: 50009; changing to 51793. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.

  



  From this post, it seems to be a problem with cutting the videos and their timestamps. The solution proposed in the post is to decode, cut and then encode the video however I am already doing that.

  



  How can I ensure the audio and video are in sync ? Am I transcoding incorrectly ? This seems to be the only solution I can find online however it does not seem to work.

  



  UPDATE :

  



  I took inspiration from this post and seperated the audio and video from output_video1.mp4 using :

  



  ffmpeg -i output_video1.mp4 -acodec copy -vn video.mp4

  



  and

  



  ffmpeg -i output_video1.mp4 -vcodec copy -an audio.mp4

  



  I then compared the durations of video.mp4 and audio.mp4 and got 0.57s and 0.52s respectively. Since the video is longer, this explains why there is a period of silence in the videos. The post then suggests transcoding is the solution however as you can see from the code above that does not work for me.

• LibVLC DXVA2 Windows C++ Hardware Acceleration

  15 novembre 2016, par Sergiu Vlad

  I want to decode a h264 RTSP stream using DXVA2 Accelerated decoder. In VLC it does work but in my code have the following output :

  avcodec generic warning: threaded frame decoding is not compatible with DXVA2, disabled
  
  avcodec generic debug: available hardware decoder output format 61 (dxva2_vld)
  
  avcodec generic debug: available hardware decoder output format 128 (d3d11va_vld)
  
  avcodec generic debug: available software decoder output format 12 (yuvj420p)
  
  core generic debug: looking for hw decoder module matching "any": 1 candidates
  
  core generic debug: no hw decoder modules matched

  Is this a problem with NV12 conversion ? Is there a way to force DXVA2 ?

  Thanks

• How you can use the Piwik AOM plugin to improve your data and make better online marketing decisions

  13 septembre 2017, par André Kolell — Plugins, AdWords, Bing, Case Study, Criteo, eccommerce tracking, Facebook Ads, how to install piwik analytics, how-to piwik, integration, piwik, Taboola

  Hi, this is André, one of the authors of the Piwik Advanced Online Marketing plugin, which has just hit 5,000 downloads on the Piwik marketplace. In this blog post I’ll show you how Piwik AOM improves your data and enables you to make better online marketing decisions.

  Piwik itself is excellent in tracking all kinds of visitor data, like where a visitor is coming from and what he’s doing on your page or app (pageviews, events, conversions). But what Piwik did not yet take a closer a look at, is how much you’ve invested into your marketing activities and how profitable they are.

  With the Piwik AOM plugin you can integrate data like advertising costs, advertising campaign names, ad impressions etc. from advertising platforms (such as Google AdWords, Microsoft Bing, Criteo, Facebook Ads and Taboola) and individual campaigns (such as such as cost per view/click/acquisition and fixed price per months deals) into Piwik and combine that data with individual Piwik visits.

  Piwik AOM adds a new marketing performance report to Piwik giving you a great overview of all your marketing activities with drill-down functionality :

  

   

  When taking a look at a specific visitor, Piwik AOM shows you the exact cost of acquiring a specific visit :

  

   

  Leveraging Piwik AOM’s full potential

  But although you can access Piwik AOM’s valuable data directly in the Piwik UI for ad-hoc analyses, Piwik AOM’s true strength comes into play when working with the raw data in an external business intelligence application of your choice, where you can further integrate Piwik AOM’s data with your most accurate backend data (like conversion’s contribution margins after returns, new vs. existing customer, etc.).

  Piwik AOM offers some API endpoints that allow you to fetch the data you need but you can also retrieve it directly from Piwik AOM’s aom_visits table, which includes all visits, all allocated advertising costs and advertising campaign details. As there is never data being deleted from aom_visits, the table can easily be connected to your ETL tool with its last update timestamp column. A third way to get data out of Piwik AOM is by developing your own Piwik plugin and listening to the AOM.aomVisitAddedOrUpdated event, which is posted whenever an aom_visits record is added or updated.

  Integrating Piwik AOM’s data with your backend data in the business intelligence application of your choice allows you to evaluate the real performance of your online marketing campaigns when applying different conversion attribution models, conduct customer journey analyses, create sophisticated forecasts and whatever you can think of.

  AOM Use case

  A company that followed this approach, is FINANZCHECK.de, one of Germany’s leading loan comparison websites. At the eMetrics summit 2016 in Berlin, Germany, I gave a talk about FINANZCHECK’s architectural online marketing setup. Until recently, FINANZCHECK used Pentaho data integration to integrate data from Piwik, Piwik AOM and additional internal tools like its proprietary CRM software into Jaspersoft, its data warehouse an BI solution. The enriched data in Jaspersoft was not only used for reporting to various stakeholders but also for optimising all kinds of marketing activities (e.g. bids for individual keywords in Google AdWords) and proactive alerting. Not long ago, FINANZCHECK started an initiative to improve its setup even further – I’ll hopefully be able to cover this in a more detailed case study soon.

  Roadmap

  In the past, we had the chance to make great progress in developing this plugin by solving specific requirements of different companies who use Piwik AOM. During the next months, we plan to integrate more advertising platforms, reimplement Facebook Ads, improve the support of individual campaigns and work on the general plugin stability and performance.

  Before you install Piwik AOM

  Before installing Piwik AOM, you should know that its initial setup and even its maintenance can be quite complex. Piwik AOM will heavily modify your Piwik installation and you will only benefit from Piwik AOM if you are willing to invest quite some time into it.

  If you are not familiar with Piwik’s internals, PHP, MySQL, database backups, cronjobs, creating API accounts at the advertising platforms or adding parameters to your advertising campaign’s URLs, you should probably not install it on your own (at least not in your production environment).

  Piwik AOM has successfully been tested with up to 25k visitors a day for a period of more than two years, running on an AWS server with 4 GB RAM, once CPU and a separate AWS RDS MySQL database.

  Ideas and Support

  If you have ideas for new features or need support with your Piwik AOM installation or leveraging your marketing data’s potential in general, feel free to get in touch with the plugin’s co-author Daniel or me. You can find our contact details on the plugin’s website http://www.advanced-online-marketing.com.
