• Compressing videos from a smartphone

  21 septembre 2019, par fejesjoco

  I have a Nexus 6p with the stock camera. It’s set to record at 1080p, 30fps. Here’s a 5 second sample (11 MB).

  Videos from this phone come out at about 17 Mbps on average. I tried to compress it with ffmpeg with -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -preset veryslow, the result comes out at about 5.5 MB, which is about 9 Mbps.

  I think this bitrate is a bit too much. When I look at torrent file listings, I can see high quality videos at 3 GB in size on average, and if such a movie is 90 minutes long on average, that is about 4-5 Mbps which sounds okay.

  I’m wondering, why the big difference ? I can notice that my video is noisy/grainy (which is expected from a phone), and that might reduce compressibility. I tried a few ffmpeg filters, like hqdn3d and atadenoise, but the noise mostly remained (maybe I didn’t play with it enough). Then I figured, the video is also shaky (which is also expected), and that might reduce compressibility too (and even makes temporal noise filtering less effective). I tried to stabilize it with the deshake filter, but that didn’t help either.

  I know I could just limit the bandwidth to whatever I like, but there must be a reason why ffmpeg thinks it needs a high bandwidth to maintain a certain quality, and a lower bandwidth would just decrease the quality.

  Why do these videos have such a high bitrate ? What’s the best way to compress them more while keeping or even increasing their quality ?

• Restoring corrupted video after recovery

  22 août 2019, par Harold.Demure

  I have recently recovered the content of an old drive of mine using photorec.

  To my surprise, photorec recovered a lot of files with non-video extensions (.sqlite, .apple, .pdf, .torrent...) that contain fragments of video. I can see these fragments only using mplayer/mencoder (quicktime and vlc cannot). Some of the files are even hundreds of megabyte large, but mplayer only shows me a few seconds of the video.

  Is there any script/data carving tool that I can use to see if I can recover more video fragments from these files ? I am not afraid of trying solutions that require some coding or manual inspection (e.g., search for headers via hex editors).

  Thank you for your help, any suggestion is highly appreciated.
  Harol.
