[00:06] <codyrobbins> The FAQ says that I can write to standard output instead of a file by using '-' as a filename, but it doesn't work for me. [00:06] <codyrobbins> I get the error "Unable to find a suitable output format for 'pipe:'" [00:06] <codyrobbins> Trying to specify a format using -f mp4 produces the error "Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?)" [00:06] <codyrobbins> How do I just get ffmpeg to send what it would normally write to a file to standard out instead? [00:07] <Mavrik> would you mind pasting whole command line with output? [00:07] <Mavrik> (to a pastebin) [00:07] <codyrobbins> Sure, hold on. [00:08] <codyrobbins> Mavrik: http://pastie.org/3092831 [00:09] <Mavrik> hmm, interesting... [00:09] <Mavrik> saving to file works? [00:09] <codyrobbins> Mavrik: Yeah, it works perfectly. [00:09] <codyrobbins> I also tried using 'pipe:1' instead of '-', but that produces the same errors. [00:10] <Mavrik> I guess it could be a bux in mp4 muxer... which version are you using? [00:11] <codyrobbins> Hmm, my version says git-2011-12-08-ec8a3e2. [00:11] <codyrobbins> Is that an actual release or the Git head? [00:11] <codyrobbins> I installed ffmpeg via Homebrew... [00:11] <Mavrik> I see. [00:12] <Mavrik> codyrobbins, well this shouldn't happen, so maybe you should write to ffmpeg-users group... or report as a bug on the tracker [00:12] <codyrobbins> Homebrew says it should be ffmpeg 0.8.7 [00:12] <codyrobbins> Mavrik: OK, I wanted to check that I wasn't doing something wrong first. [00:12] <codyrobbins> Thanks! [01:37] <teratorn> can anyone think why changing the time_base value on my AVCodecContext when encoding a stream changes the quality of the resulting video??? at (AVRational){1,30} the quality is good, at {1,3600} it's horrible. [01:37] <teratorn> the video still plays at the same speed, because I scale the pts values according to the time_base's [01:37] <teratorn> codec is webm [01:41] <michaelni> teratorn, possibly effects of framerate/bitrate [01:44] <teratorn> michaelni: If I go much finer grained than {1,30} the quality starts degrading rapidly... which is annoying, since I wanted timestamps with finer granularity [03:05] <GorDonFreeMan> maybe someone can give a generalized formula for using FFMPEG recording a webcam/getting images? or example in C ? [03:05] <magicblaze007> ffmpeg -i input -vn -acodec libmp3lame -aq 0 output.mp3 -- How can i tell what other audio codecs are installed and what other fileformats can i output? [03:16] <relaxed> magicblaze007: "ffmpeg -codecs" and "ffmpeg -formats" [03:20] <magicblaze007> relaxed: thanks. Is there a table somewhere so that i can take my "input" file and convert it to high quality audio? like flac/wav/mp3/... ? [03:20] <GorDonFreeMan> http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/ [03:20] <GorDonFreeMan> i have found this tutorial, i can compile none of the examples [03:21] <magicblaze007> GorDonFreeMan: it says its out of date [03:21] <GorDonFreeMan> yes [03:23] <relaxed> magicblaze007: "ffmpeg -i input output.flac" "ffmpeg -i input output.wav" [03:23] <GorDonFreeMan> so anyone made a working example using ffmpeg in C ? [03:23] <GorDonFreeMan> and like displaying images from a webcam? [03:24] <GorDonFreeMan> or maybe even recording video from webcam? [03:24] <magicblaze007> relaxed: can -i input be an mp3 file? [03:24] <magicblaze007> lemme try, thanks [03:25] <relaxed> yes, ffmpeg can decode just about anything you can feed it. [03:25] <magicblaze007> thanks [03:39] <emerica> Im having sync problems making a ts stream that sync properly with ac3 audio , 2 channels , 48000hz 192kb/s, If i change to mp2 audio OR change the ar for ac3 to 44100 i get sync.(mp2@48000 syncs), Im going to update to latest git and try again. This is going out an asi card to a tandberg tt1260 [03:39] <emerica> thinking maybe one of the tables in ac3enc.c could be off maybe? [04:02] <GorDonFreeMan> get a realtime kernel [04:02] <GorDonFreeMan> that eliminates your latencies, given you have fast enough cpu [04:04] <emerica> for ar ? or an above comment? [06:26] <pHcF> hi [06:26] <pHcF> how do i speed up an audio using ffmpeg? [06:26] <Big_Brother> is there a way to do multiple encodes- one after the other finishes? [06:26] <pHcF> i mean, an m4a [06:52] <firefly__> hi all, is anyone familiar with proper usage of libx264 encoding in mp4 container for ps3? [06:53] <firefly__> tried many. many iterations over several days, always says data curropt [06:54] <relaxed> pastebin an example of what you've tried [06:55] <firefly__> okay will do... one minute [07:00] <firefly__> done [07:07] <firefly__> it is basically variants of different presets... the core command stays the same [07:08] <relaxed> where is the pastebin link? [07:12] <firefly__> 3WM3YfU1 [07:14] <relaxed> firefly__: ffmpeg -i input -t 10 -vcodec libx264 -threads 0 -profile high -preset slow -level 42 -crf 18 -acodec libvo_aacenc -ab 128k output.mp4 [07:15] <firefly__> thanks, will try now [07:15] <relaxed> firefly__: The "-t 10" forces it to stop after 10 seconds so you can quickly test samples. [07:15] <firefly__> yes, i read tfm... I have short clip to test on anywY [07:18] <firefly__> undefined constant or missing '(' in 'high' [07:19] <relaxed> change "-profile high" to "-profile:v high" [07:20] <firefly__> failed to set value 'high' for option 'profile:v' [07:22] <relaxed> You need to pastebin the command and all output. You can't just cherrypick lines for me.

I run ffmpeg unter opensuse and want to encode videos via batch. The bash script looks into a directory and checks if there are any videos to encode. The while loop works, but i get a problem when more than one file is in the directory. Running the script it says: "Enter Command: <target> <time> <command>[ <argument>]". I think it is because of the not line-by-line out [08:40] <PeHaPe> put of ffmpeg. Any ideas? [08:43] <PeHaPe> It only encodes one Video. Even if there are more in the directory. [09:04] <PeHaPe> seems it doesnt work like i wanted it [09:05] <PeHaPe> I solved it with find [...] -exec ffmpeg [...] [09:05] <PeHaPe> bye [09:22] <JuanDaugherty> I take it the two forks are reasonably friendly? [09:23] <JuanDaugherty> or at least sharing code/not really having a fundamental functional distinction [09:24] <Tjoppen> well, there's no takeovers being attempted at least [09:24] <Tjoppen> so far the forks seem to stay somewhat in sync ABI-wise [09:24] <JuanDaugherty> there's more than 2? [09:25] <Tjoppen> ah, no. well, technically yes if you count things like all github forks :) [09:25] <JuanDaugherty> and technically this the original isn't a fork [09:25] <Tjoppen> anyway: michael merge libav quite often and they cherry-pick stuff from ffmpeg [09:25] <Tjoppen> *merges [09:26] <Tjoppen> unfortunately it's hard to get features into both without double the work, much to my chagrin [09:26] <JuanDaugherty> no, most of the github forks are by "entrepreneurs" whose main concern if shia le boeuf or j. timberlake will play them in the movie [09:26] <JuanDaugherty> *is if [09:27] <JuanDaugherty> michael's the libav lead? [09:27] <JuanDaugherty> buildmaster, whatever [09:29] <Tjoppen> no, other way around. libav is merged into ffmpeg [09:30] <JuanDaugherty> you're saying the flow of work product is in that direction I take it since the fork was from here no? [09:31] <JuanDaugherty> as far as the named thing is concerned [09:31] <Tjoppen> in traditional parlance I guess the fork is now upstream [09:31] <Tjoppen> they consider themselves as such at least [09:33] <JuanDaugherty> the fork is whereever it always was, the main body of the orginal project moved into the other branch leaving the original name project as "the fork" of the formerly [09:33] <JuanDaugherty> authorittive project [09:34] <JuanDaugherty> *authoritative [09:34] <JuanDaugherty> and with the typical popularity split in such cases where the public/free/crowd thing is the more popular apparently [09:35] <JuanDaugherty> (judging by the number in the two channels right now) [09:35] <Tjoppen> or the amount of traffic on the lists [12:53] <Guest23109> check_lib x264.h x264_encoder_encode -lx264 [12:53] <Guest23109> check_header x264.h [12:53] <Guest23109> check_cpp [12:53] <Guest23109> BEGIN /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> 1 #include <x264.h> [12:53] <Guest23109> 2 int x; [12:53] <Guest23109> END /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> gcc -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -std=c99 -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -E -o /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.o /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> In file included from C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c:1: [12:53] <Guest23109> c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../../include/x264.h:36:4: warning: #warning You must include stdint.h or inttypes.h before x264.h [12:53] <Guest23109> check_func x264_encoder_encode -lx264 [12:53] <Guest23109> check_ld cc -lx264 [12:53] <Guest23109> check_cc [12:53] <Guest23109> BEGIN /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> 1 extern int x264_encoder_encode(); [12:53] <Guest23109> 2 int main(void){ x264_encoder_encode(); } [12:53] <Guest23109> END /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> gcc -D_ISOC99_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -std=c99 -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.o /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.c [12:53] <Guest23109> gcc -Wl,--as-needed -o /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.exe /tmp/ffconf..MICROSOF-40BD7A.500.1396.o -lx264 -lm -lpthread -lbz2 -lz -lpsapi [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x830b): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x978b): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x1e9da): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x1ff4a): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x20f7a): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' [12:53] <Guest23109> c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.2.1-sjlj/../../../libx264.a(analyse.o):(.text+0x2240a): more undefined references to `__chkstk_ms' follow [12:53] <Guest23109> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [12:53] <Guest23109> ERROR: libx264 not found [12:53] <Guest23109> what's wrong with this?

I thought they fixed that by now :\ [13:43] <JEEB> well, I remember the Videolan project building libx264 with it for VLC [13:44] <JEEB> ...until someone finally figured that it miscompiled libx264 BADLY [13:44] <JEEB> so, uhm, stay away [13:44] <JEEB> not to mention that 4.2.x hasn't been supported for ages [13:44] <JEEB> even 4.3 has already been dropped [13:44] <JEEB> leaving 4.4 the oldest gcc version still maintained [13:45] <Mavrik> meh, last time I checked they broke whole MinGW/MSYS install process [13:45] <Mavrik> and I stopped bothering with them [13:45] <Guest69035> maybe i the problem , the libx264.a which i use ,is build by gcc 4.2.5 or 4.6.1 [13:45] <Guest69035> but i use 4.2.1 to link it,so...,sad [13:46] <Guest69035> thanks a lot [14:17] <knobo> Do I really need red5 or similar apps to do two way live streaming to a flash application, or can it be done with some scripting and ffmpeg? [14:19] <knobo> And are there any examples and documentation of that? [15:33] <firefly__> good morning from Canada [15:33] <firefly__> I am returning with some question about ffmpeg encoding with libx264 that is compatible for a mediatomb delivered stream to PS3 [15:34] <firefly__> If anyone is up to the challenge... I've been through the manual and many days of googling and iterations [15:35] <firefly__> I should mention that I have it configured such that mediatomb only delivers the content... no transcoding set [15:35] <firefly__> running ffmpeg 0.7.2 on ubuntu 11 [15:37] <firefly__> always getting 'data type not supported' error on ps3 [15:44] <relaxed> firefly__: good morning [15:47] <firefly__> pulling my hair out over this encoding [15:51] <relaxed> firefly__: try this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24633983/test.mp4 [16:07] <firefly__> that test file plays fine. [16:07] <firefly__> note that I only have problems with my own encoding of my DSLR movies. [16:07] <firefly__> they are shot in 1080p 24fps [16:07] <cga> hi all, I need to make a script that extracts EXTINF from mp3 files. is it possible with ffmpeg to extract such info? [16:08] <firefly__> but I very heavy in terms of storage... we're talking pcm sound and about 800M for a 2minute clip. [16:08] <firefly__> so I'm trying to compress that, without much luck. [16:17] <Mavrik> mm [16:18] <Mavrik> firefly__, are you setting the right level, profile and container? [16:18] <firefly__> tried level 41, 42 vpre from slow,slower,lossless variants... all in mp4 container with aac [16:18] <firefly__> relaxed is currently helping me with it [16:19] <Mavrik> those are presets, not profiles :) [16:19] <Mavrik> did you disable b-pyramid an P4x4? [16:19] <Mavrik> made sure your bitrate is low enough for PS3 to play? [16:20] <Mavrik> oh... and update ffmpeg and x264 to something more recent (current version is 0.9)? [17:00] <IchGucksLive> hi all "ffmpeg -i input.ogv -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 output.mp4" is ther anything on the wikipedia page on this from recormydesktop to mp4 [17:00] <Mavrik> ... [17:39] <tomasm-> hi, anyone know if the ffmpeg-php module can do conversion? ie wma to mp3, etc.... all i see is basic meta information in the ffmpeg_movie class [17:39] <tomasm-> or should I just use the command line version in php? [17:40] <JEEB> tomasm-, ffmpeg-php is not related to ffmpeg [17:41] <tomasm-> yeah i figured i could get more relevent help here, possibly... #php is usually general php... but i asked there too [17:43] <JEEB> more like you should find the developers of the given module and ask at their place :P [17:52] <magn0z> hey. trying to change container from AVI to MKV. used ffmpeg -i my.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy my.mkv .. which works, however, video framerate is all wrong in the resulting my.mkv. tried adding -r 24 to force output framerate, but seems to be ignored [18:00] <magn0z> ffmpeg also prints some clues that might be related: Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 23.98 (65535/2733) -> 23.98 (10000000/417083) [18:00] <magn0z> but not sure if it matters, because both container and codec reports 23.98 fps (i guess??) [18:01] <JEEB> note: pretty much only AVI has just a field that's called "frame rate", most if not everything else just has timestamps per frame [18:01] <JEEB> matroska is basically "millisecond precision" [18:01] <JEEB> (by default) [18:04] <tomasm-> is ffmpeg suitable for encoding mp3 files (converting from wma)? or is that some other tool? i tried ffmpeg -i file.wma file.mp3, and it says "encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0 [18:06] <tomasm-> ffmpeg -formats DOES mention mp3 as encoder and decoder capability [18:10] <tomasm-> wait, LAME wasnt installed.... but if all im doing is converting audio files. do i really even need ffmpeg, or will LAME suffice? [18:12] <tomasm-> ok seems that ffmpeg understands wma, but lame doesnt [19:04] <magn0z> JEEB, so, should not the playback occur at the correct rate if the timestamps are encapsulated within the video stream? [19:06] <relaxed> tomasm-: yes [20:10] <supernull> we need a .banana TLD for occasions like this. [20:10] <supernull> maybe even properly spelled. [20:17] <supernull> Hey guys, looking for an ideal implementation suggestion for .. a database that will only grow in size massively.. it will be containg our companys Call Detail Records.

[20:22] Action: supernull just realized this isnt #mysql.. derp [21:10] <grap3_ap3> Anyone able to help me troubleshoot converting from .ogv to .avi?

[21:31] <fortress> my goal is to convert the audio of the mkv file from AC-3 to mp3, and leave the video track as is [21:32] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: first upgrade your ffmpeg: http://bit.ly/3xSE5 [21:34] <grap3_ap3> suppose that's my fault for installing via apt\ [21:34] <cbsrobot> imho it's nobodys fault - it's just a hint [21:35] <grap3_ap3> upgrading now. [21:43] <E0F> hi [21:43] <E0F> please, how can I specify the input codec of and audio file ? I have an input file with no headers but I know which codec was used and I'd like to transcode it [21:55] <fortress> okay, i have extracted the h264 and ac3 files from the mkv container. how can i use ffmpeg to convert the ac3 audio to mp3 and add it to the h264 video file, without re-encoding the h264 video? [21:56] <cbsrobot> fortress: no need to extract it first .... [21:56] <fortress> cbsrobot: ffmpegx was not recognizing the mkv file: "unrecognized" [21:57] <cbsrobot> fortress: use ffmpeg command line tool then [21:57] <E0F> nobody's got an idea for my question ? [21:58] <fortress> ah i see, thank you. where can i best learn to use the command line tool to convert the audio and leave the video untouched? [21:58] <E0F> I'd like to transcode a file, problem is : the file has no headers, but I know what codec was used, how can I bypass that ? [21:58] <E0F> fortress: I think the manpages are a good start :) [21:59] <fortress> E0F, that was the politest RTFM i have ever received. thank you. lol [21:59] <cbsrobot> fortress: use "-vcodec copy" for the video and specify all the audio parameters [21:59] <fortress> cbsrobot, thanks a ton! i will try that now [22:05] <E0F> fortress: you are welcome :) [22:15] <grap3_ap3> cbsrobot, all updated and made some progress.. now the video looks better but the text is all munged. Here is command + output: http://pastebin.com/JMAa8tsi [22:20] <cbsrobot> what text ? [22:20] <cbsrobot> subtitle text ? [22:23] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: ^ [22:23] <grap3_ap3> no [22:23] <grap3_ap3> the video is a recodring of some command line operations. The terminal text is unreadable in the avi. [22:23] <cbsrobot> ah ok [22:24] <cbsrobot> well you use a horrible codec I guess [22:24] <grap3_ap3> sorry for my lack of clarity, i'm a total n00b when it comes to anything video.... [22:24] <cbsrobot> what for do you need the video ? [22:24] <grap3_ap3> -vcodec mpeg4 == horrible? [22:25] <grap3_ap3> ideally I want to post to youtube. [22:25] <cbsrobot> ok [22:25] <cbsrobot> not sure about youtube reconverting it, but I suggest use x264 [22:26] <cbsrobot> at the end of the ubuntu compile guide you have some sample commands - try one of these. [22:27] Action: grap3_ap3 trying now [22:27] <cbsrobot> ah sorry - it's in the middle somewhere [22:29] <cbsrobot> E0F: try to put the parameters in from of the "-i input" - but I guess if it's not rawaudio you have little chance it works [22:31] <grap3_ap3> cbsrobot, still the same. Wondering if this could have to do with my recording at too high a res? Was recorded 1920*1080 [22:31] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: command did you use ? [22:32] <grap3_ap3> -acodec libfaac -aq 100 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 output.avi [22:32] <cbsrobot> try to lower the -crf value [22:33] <cbsrobot> let's say 12 [22:33] <grap3_ap3> trying w/ 12 [22:35] <E0F> cbsrobot: like ffmpeg -acodec libspeex -i <file> ? [22:35] <cbsrobot> E0F: well yes - but 0.1% chance it works [22:35] <grap3_ap3> no change.. [22:36] <grap3_ap3> :( [22:36] <grap3_ap3> ok .. well thanks for the help. This is all the time I have to spend on this now. I will try to re-record at a lower res and see if that helps. If not, I'm sure I'll be back. [22:36] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: but when playing the input file with ffplay or vlc you can read the text ? [22:37] <grap3_ap3> cbsrobot, yes, that's correct. [22:37] <E0F> cbsrobot: i have already tried and it didn't work [22:38] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: what about: [22:38] <cbsrobot> ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -acodec copy output.avi [22:38] <cbsrobot> or if you have a lot of time: [22:39] <cbsrobot> ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 0 -acodec copy output.mkv [22:39] <cbsrobot> grap3_ap3: for the first command use rather: [22:39] <cbsrobot> ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -acodec copy output.mkv [22:39] <grap3_ap3> OK.. trying now. [22:39] <grap3_ap3> thanks! [22:39] <cbsrobot> avi kind of sucks [22:55] <grap3_ap3> cbsrobot, no change in video and now the sound is screwed up too :( [22:55] <grap3_ap3> tried w/ both ultrafast and veryslow [22:56] <grap3_ap3> I'll re-record. That almost has to be the problem at this point I think. [00:00] --- Sat Dec 31 2011
