• Encode x264 video with ffmpeg for Android with starting offset

  4 août 2013, par scubed

  I'm trying to convert a video to play on an Android device.
  The video is from a big movie. I am chopping it back into pieces
  to correspond with the actual segments of the movie using -ss and -t.

  The input is mp4 with H.264 and AAC.
  The output is mkv using H.264 and Vorbis.

  Specifically, the input is :

  Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 320x240, 2240 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 60 tbr, 90k tbn, 180k tbc
  
  Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 162 kb/s

  I'm using : ffmpeg version 1.0.7

  The command I'm trying is something like :

  ffmpeg -ss 00:03:52.000 -i in.mp4 -t 00:01:00.000 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 20 -maxrate 400k -bufsize 1835k -c:a libvorbis -sn out.mkv

  However, while the resulting video works fine on my computer, when I click on
  my phone, it says : Can't play video
  and checking the Android log, it has :

  E/SoftAVC (24319): Decoder failed: -2
  
  E/OMXCodec(24319): [OMX.google.h264.decoder] ERROR(0x80001001, -1007)

  It is still able to make a thumbnail for the movie, but not play it.

  Interestingly, some simple variations of that command do work :
  Remove -ss to start at the beginning of the video
  Use -an to disable audio

  These variations still failed :
  Copying the original audio with -c:a copy, or other audio codecs like vorbis, mp3
  Using mp4 instead of mkv
  Using baseline H.264 profile, including restricting level to 1.2.

  Running through mkvmerge first not only fails, but makes Android not able to even make a thumbnail.

  I don't know if it is related, but another small thing I noticed is that for
  starting transcoding later in the movie, the audio starts out slightly out-of-sync.
  After several seconds, it gets back in sync. The audio is in sync in the original.

  Robert Rowntree :

  -vcodec libx264 -b:v 200k -bt 50k -threads 0 -b_strategy 1 -acodec copy -f mp4 -strict -2

  Interesting. Your command almost works. The video actually plays on Android. The one problem is that the audio is out-of-sync and stays out-of-sync throughout the whole clip. But, that's much closer than I've been. I'll search around there and see if I can find the right combination.

  I tried combinations of it. It appears that using both mp4 and copying the audio is what allows it to work. Using libvorbis or going to mkv breaks it again. But, I would like to transcode the audio, and I suspect to keep it in sync, I might have to transcode it anyways. Note that even with transcoding, when I play it back on the computer, I still don't have sync between audio and video.

• GStreamer with MPEG-TS Video4Linux ATSC/DVB Recording

  21 juin 2013, par Dustin Oprea

  I'm having an impossible time setting up a filtergraph to read from a recording that I made from my DVB video4linux device. Any help would be vastly appreciated.

  How I made the recording :

  To tune the channel :

  azap -c ~/channels.conf "Florida"

  To record the channel :

  cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/test

  This is the way that recordings must be made (I can not use any GST DVB plugins to do this for me).

  I used tstools to identify that the recording is a TS stream :

  tstools/bin$ ./stream_type ~/recordings/20130129-202049
  
  Reading from /home/dustin/recordings/20130129-202049
  
  It appears to be Transport Stream

  ...but that there are no PAT/PMT frames :

  tstools/bin$ ./tsinfo ~/recordings/20130129-202049
  
  Reading from /home/dustin/recordings/20130129-202049
  
  Scanning 10000 TS packets
  
  
  
  Found 0 PAT packets and 0 PMT packets in 10000 TS packets

  I was able to produce a single ES (elementary stream) stream, by running ts2es :

  tstools/bin$ ./ts2es -pid 97 ~/recordings/20130129-202049 ~/recordings/20130129-202049.es
  
  Reading from /home/dustin/recordings/20130129-202049
  
  Writing to   /home/dustin/recordings/20130129-202049.es
  
  Extracting packets for PID 0061 (97)
  
  !!! 4 bytes ignored at end of file - not enough to make a TS packet
  
  Extracted 219258 of 248113 TS packets

  I am able to play the ES stream (even though the video is frozen on the first frame) :

  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=~/recordings/20130129-202049.es ! decodebin2 ! autovideosink
  
  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=~/recordings/20130129-202049.es ! decodebin2 ! xvimagesink
  
  gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/dustin/recordings/20130129-202049.es

  No matter what I do, though, I can't get the original TS file to open. However, it opens in Mplayer/FFMPEG, perfectly (but not VLC). This is the output of FFMPEG :

  ffmpeg -i 20130129-202049

  This tells us that the video stream has PID 0x61 (97).

  I have been trying for a few days, so the following are only examples of a couple of attempts. I'll provide the playbin2 example first, since I know that thousands of people will respond, insisting that I just use that. It doesn't work.

  It fails [probably] because no PID has been specified with which to find the video (the "EOS" error, I think).

  Naturally, I tried the following to start by demuxing the TS format. I believe it's the "es-pids" property that receives the PID in the absence of PMT information (which tstools said there weren't any, above), but I tried "program-number", too, just in case. gst-inspect indicates that one is hex and the other is decimal :

  I'll still get the same problem whenever I use the mpegtsdemux, even if it follows mpegpsdemux, above.

  I don't understand this, since I haven't even picked a PID yet.

  What am I doing wrong ?

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

  5 février 2013, par arashaga

  I am struggling with FFmpeg whithing 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
  
  
  
  FFmpeg -strict experimental -y -i !videofile -pass 2 -s !widthx!height -b:v 500k -threads 0 -vcodec libx264 -vf "pad=!paddingwidth:!paddingheight:!paddingleft:!paddingtop:000000" -preset slow -acodec aac -ab 128k !convertfile

  The above command produce an error as :

  error executing command for rendering preset HTML5 MP4, command #1 :

  nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -y -i '80137db8c3_1334836277_int_tr_19.mp4' -s 176x100 -b:v 500k -threads 0 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -acodec aac -ab 128k '/converted/80137db8c3_1334836277_int_tr_19.mp4' 2>&1

  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

  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.
