[00:17:01 CEST] <heliumclicks> furq: i'm out. Thanks again for your help! [00:26:20 CEST] <sunzofman> furq: I wish to compile ffmpeg against libmp3lame. Can I do this without losing the existing ffmpeg customization? I have at least 6-7 different encoders setup for video and audio. [00:27:16 CEST] <sunzofman> furq: I basically wish to encode opus files to mp3. [00:30:48 CEST] <sunzofman> anyone have experience compiling ffmpeg? [00:42:24 CEST] <csierra_> is it possible to see all possible entries for a stream in ffprobe? [07:03:13 CEST] <allohol> ffmpeg -i INPUT_AAC_H.264 -c copy OUTPUT.mkv <- produces a file 1.5gb / h. Now, when I do: ffmpeg -i OUTPUT.mkv -c copy -t 00:10:00.00 CUT.mkv <- I'ld exspect that 2nd file to be 200-300mb, yet it ends up at around 700mb! How could that be? [10:29:29 CEST] <Faith> I'm having trouble selecting a subtitle stream to hardsub using the subtitles filter, even though I'm getting the syntax right as outlined here https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#subtitles-1 [10:29:34 CEST] <Faith> https://pastebin.com/2GquK7H0 [10:29:44 CEST] <Faith> Does anyone know how I could get this to work? [10:31:47 CEST] <durandal_1707> Faith: missing -vf [10:32:10 CEST] <Faith> Welp [10:32:13 CEST] <Faith> Thanks, I'm an idiot [12:14:05 CEST] <waterworks> BtbN: JEEB: I solved the nvenc issue by removing --disable-autodetect to configure. I thought you could select which HW acceleration you wished to use through --enable-nvenc but the script doesn't like that. [12:14:30 CEST] <JEEB> that sounds like a bug somewhere since you specifically enabled nvenc [12:14:48 CEST] <JEEB> since I'm using multiple libraries and I /really/ like disable-autodetect [12:15:01 CEST] <JEEB> since that way you know specifically what you're enabling out of the external stuff [12:21:36 CEST] <waterworks> Okay, apparently ffnvcodec shows up under "External libraries providing hardware acceleration" so you can have --disable-autodetect if you do --enable--ffnvcodec and --enable-nvenc. It adds cuda there too even if you don't specify it so why can't it just add ffnvcodec automatically. [15:15:41 CEST] <kepstin> allohol: your input file is probably using a variable rate encoding where more complex scenes have higher bitrate. that's pretty normal. [16:25:58 CEST] <ben__> Hey People :-) ! i would like to convert a Divx into mp4,but commands from the web dont work :-( ....may can anybody help shortly,please ? :-) [16:26:23 CEST] <ben__> btw.sorry for my bad english,im from Germany [16:29:32 CEST] <transhuman> Hi, and thanks in advance, I have a question with ffmpeg. Rather an error. I think its the quotes or the order, anyone able to take a look and help? [16:29:36 CEST] <transhuman> http://paste.debian.net/1028663/ [16:32:10 CEST] <kepstin> transhuman: at a minimum, you have a space in the filter options which shouldn't be there [16:32:36 CEST] <kepstin> between a : and an option name [16:34:39 CEST] <furq> that doesn't matter as long as it's quoted [16:35:10 CEST] <furq> it's almost certainly the backslashes [16:35:53 CEST] <furq> also you have \: instead of :\ in the fontfile path [16:38:25 CEST] <transhuman> oh ok thanks [16:44:59 CEST] <csierra_> https://paste.debian.net/hidden/912292c6/ extracting a frame 1 pixel wide results in the frame being tinted green, but only in Windows. Is there a fix for this? [16:47:29 CEST] <transhuman> question how do I specify a space in the name of the font, (now its barking at the space in the font name I tried using \ or quotes around whole path or <6characters>~1.ttf but it doesnt work (this is on windows by the way) [16:48:05 CEST] <transhuman> s/font name / font name) [16:53:10 CEST] <JEEB> &33 [17:27:33 CEST] <Technicus> Hello, is it possible to create a v4l that is connected to a video file? [17:40:17 CEST] <kerio> connected how [18:35:02 CEST] <transhuman> ok so I hope this helps someone doing ffmpeg on windows, how to create scrolling text using ffmpeg on windows ffmpeg -y -i c:\Users\blues\Videos\-Split-Screens5\-Split-Screens5.mp4 -vf "drawtext=fontcolor=white:fontsize=40:fontfile='C\:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arial.ttf':textfile='C\:\\Users\\blues\\Videos\\-Split-Screens5\\Tickertxt.txt':reload=1:y=h-line_h-52:x=w-(mod(4*n\,w+tw)-tw/40),drawbox=y=ih-88:color=black@0.4:width=iw:height [18:35:02 CEST] <transhuman> =48:t=fill" -codec:v libx264 scrolling.mp4 [18:39:25 CEST] <ChocolateArmpits> it'd probably receive more longevity as an example in the documentation [18:40:51 CEST] <ariyasu> whats with the weird path names transhuman [18:41:03 CEST] <ariyasu> ChocolateArmpits congrats on having the best nick i've ever seen on irc [18:44:04 CEST] <transhuman> it has to do with escaping characters [18:44:22 CEST] <ariyasu> ahh [18:44:29 CEST] <csierra_> ffprobe reports duration in the metadata, but not in streams. What causes this? And how can I pull that duration without having to grep for it? https://paste.debian.net/1028679/ [18:44:29 CEST] <transhuman> windows paths go the wrong way\ [18:44:40 CEST] <ariyasu> you shouldn't need to escape them in the command though [18:44:57 CEST] <transhuman> still a small problem with it though, I cant use a time value for the speed of the ticker [18:45:00 CEST] <furq> you do need to escape them because \s are interpreted by the filterchain parser [18:45:07 CEST] <furq> as are :s [18:45:22 CEST] <transhuman> that's weird because it wont run without it [18:45:31 CEST] <ariyasu> ahh ok [18:45:34 CEST] <transhuman> it tries and removes the paths [18:45:41 CEST] <transhuman> err the slashes [18:45:51 CEST] <furq> i said you do need to escape [18:45:59 CEST] <transhuman> so doing that it removes one slash and leaves the otheer [18:46:06 CEST] <furq> or you might just be able to separately quote the path, i forget now [18:46:25 CEST] <furq> generally on windows i just move everything into the working directory so i don't have to deal with the headache [18:46:29 CEST] <transhuman> yeah it gets confused with the quotes too [18:46:39 CEST] <transhuman> yeah I second that motion [18:47:17 CEST] <transhuman> its funny the opposite is true with the -i switch [18:52:53 CEST] <ChocolateArmpits> expressions extend functionality but are quite tedious to write [21:43:48 CEST] <GuiToris> hello, I found this solution on the Internet. ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -lavfi '[0:v]scale=ih*16/9:-1,boxblur=luma_radius=min(h\,w)/20:luma_power=1:chroma_radius=min(cw\,ch)/20:chroma_power=1[bg];[bg][0:v]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,crop=h=iw*9/16' -vb 800K output.webm [21:44:02 CEST] <GuiToris> Can you tell me how I can make the background less blurry? [21:44:17 CEST] <GuiToris> which number controls the blurriness here? [21:44:42 CEST] <durandal_1707> boxblur [21:45:13 CEST] <GuiToris> durandal_1707, 20 is what I'm looking for? [21:45:30 CEST] <durandal_1707> yes, try to increase it [21:45:48 CEST] <GuiToris> you mean decrease, dont you [21:46:53 CEST] <durandal_1707> no [21:48:35 CEST] <GuiToris> okay, let's see [21:49:30 CEST] <GuiToris> which 20 are you referring actually? luma_radius or chroma_radius? [21:49:38 CEST] <furq> both [21:49:57 CEST] <furq> i'm not sure why they're bothering to use the video dimensions in there [21:51:46 CEST] <GuiToris> Ive changed both of them to 40 [21:52:10 CEST] <GuiToris> I'm waiting with excitement [21:54:35 CEST] <GuiToris> hmm, it's still very blurry [21:54:42 CEST] <GuiToris> I'll try to increase it even more [21:56:49 CEST] <furq> try just replacing it with boxblur=2:1:2:1 [21:58:39 CEST] <GuiToris> ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -lavfi '[0:v]scale=ih*16/9:-1,boxblur=2:1:2:1:chroma_power=1[bg];[bg][0:v]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,crop=h=iw*9/16' -vb 800K output.webm [21:58:43 CEST] <GuiToris> like this?

[22:06:47 CEST] <GuiToris> I use ffmpeg on a much lower level [22:06:58 CEST] <furq> more or less [22:07:07 CEST] <GuiToris> I'll give it a try :) [22:07:12 CEST] <furq> fwiw for debugging you probably want to use something faster than libvpx [22:07:22 CEST] <furq> ideally you'd just use -c:v rawvide -f nut - | mpv - [22:07:24 CEST] <furq> rawvideo [22:07:40 CEST] <furq> but if you can't pipe into a player for whatever reason then use x264 ultrafast or something [22:09:32 CEST] <GuiToris> hey this is quite good (4:4:4:4) [22:09:36 CEST] <GuiToris> I like it [22:09:40 CEST] <GuiToris> thank you very much :) [22:26:38 CEST] <transhuman> hi! I have a similar command that works with ffmpeg on windows https://pastebin.com/Rpw4rwvH this one generates an error on linux, one of the options it doesn't like but it doesn't say which [22:29:44 CEST] <furq> transhuman: there's no such argument boxcolor, it's just color [22:30:03 CEST] <furq> i guess it got renamed and you're running an old build on windows [22:30:43 CEST] <transhuman> thanks [23:38:26 CEST] <nicolas17> looks like if I have two mono audio streams, and I want to turn them into channels in a stereo stream, I can use the amerge filter [23:38:46 CEST] <nicolas17> but what if my inputs are stereo? how do I mix them into mono first? [23:39:16 CEST] <JEEB> there's a filter to just take different channels from various inputs as some channel ampping [23:39:38 CEST] <furq> !filter pan @nicolas17 [23:39:38 CEST] <nfobot> nicolas17: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#pan-1 [23:39:44 CEST] <furq> or -map_channel [23:39:58 CEST] <furq> or you can just use amix [00:00:00 CEST] --- Mon Jun 11 2018
