• FFmpeg transcoding video H.264 -> AV1 leads to distorted image

  21 June 2023, by user1584149

  I'm reading video from stdin via pipe similar to this one Python gets stuck at pipe.stdin.write(image.tostring())

  


  FFmpeg is using libsvtav1 codec with options according to documentation

  


  ffmpeg -y -f rawvideo -i pipe:0 -s {frame_width}x{frame_height} -r {frame_rate} -c:a copy -c:v libsvtav1 -preset 6 -crf 30 -svtav1-params "color-format=1:film-grain-denoise=0:mbr=2M" {output_file} 


  


  Here's couple of details about used FFmpeg version as well as input video

  The output video transcoded by SVT-AV1 codec is blemished as you can see on the images below. Normally I would say it could be caused by wrong pixel format, but input stream has yuv420 format what is the same as encoder's pixel format parameter —color-format.

  


  Please share your experience or ideas how to get it transcoding correctly.

  


  Thanks in advance.

  


  


  


• FFmpeg: h264 output broken

  22 June 2023, by puaaaal

  When I try to encode anything (no -c copy) using the h264 codec, the output is broken in the sense that it can't be played by any standard player (like Windows Media Player). VLC works mostly fine, but also here I had problems, that the video did not align properly. When I use ffplay though, it works fine. When I try to play my source material, which is also encoded with h264, all those methods to play it work fine. (I use mp4 as a container for all these tests)

  


  Command to reproduce:

  


  ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "testsrc=d=10" -vcodec h264 test_h264.mp4


  


  When I use mpeg4 instead, it works fine:

  


  ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "testsrc=d=10" -vcodec mpeg4 test_mpeg4.mp4


  


  Is there something I am missing here, or might this be a bug?

• problem in making HLS using ffmpeg problem

  24 June 2023, by AMZ

  I have a function do run in background and create m3u8 for some videos: (I is running in background and updating some fields in django).

  


  def convert_to_hls(episode):
    # Set the output directory for HLS files
output_dir = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'hls')
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)

# Set the input video file path
input_file_path = episode.videoFile.path

# Set the output filename and path for the HLS playlist
# filename = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(input_file_path))[0]
characters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits
filename = ''.join(random.choice(characters) for _ in range(45))
playlist_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f'{filename}.m3u8')

# Set the output path for the HLS segments
segments_path = os.path.join(output_dir, f'{filename}_%05d.ts')

# Construct the ffmpeg command for HLS conversion
command = [
    'ffmpeg',
    '-i', input_file_path,
    '-c:v', 'libx264',
    '-crf', '23',
    '-preset', 'medium',
    '-c:a', 'aac',
    '-b:a', '128k',
    '-f', 'hls',
    '-hls_time', '10',
    '-hls_list_size', '0',
    '-hls_segment_filename', segments_path,
    playlist_path
]
# Execute the ffmpeg command
subprocess.run(command, check=True)

episode.hls_created = True
episode.hls_url = playlist_path.replace("/home/debian/project","")
episode.save()

return True


  


  this code works well for most of my videos but for some .mp4 files gets:

  Also it does not work for .MOV files.
