We need to have a good FFMPEG expert to create code / system so we can get ready for higher volumes. The project require immediate attention and a time frame of a week. Thanks, Gabe -- Sent from: http://www.ffmpeg-archive.org/

Amerge trouble

Hi guys, Trying to do some audio patching from multiple input files, and output a QT or MXF with a poly soundtrack. Now this turns out to be a hell of a job, I can’t grasp the logic on how the patching works. Y\LTC_Convert\FF\ffmpeg -threads 1 -i V\!patch\test.mxf -ss 0.0000 -i V\!patch\snd.wav -map 0:0 -filter_complex "[1:a][0:a:2][1:a][0:a:1][0:a:3]amerge=inputs=5,pan=5c|c0=c9|c1=c1|c2=c8|c3=c0|c4=c2[a]" -map "[a]" -ca pcm_s24le -cv copy -timecode 01:00:00:00 -y V\!patch\active\test.mxf" FFmpeg returns: Stream mapping: Stream #0:2 (pcm_s24le) -> amerge:in3 Stream #0:3 (pcm_s24le) -> amerge:in1 Stream #0:4 (pcm_s24le) -> amerge:in4 Stream #1:0 (pcm_s24le) -> amerge:in0 Stream #1:0 (pcm_s24le) -> amerge:in2 This looks all good, so the problem must be in how I define the pan, but for the life of me I can’t understand how the numbers work. It seems (by other tests) that the input track up numbers based on what is already set, but it’s still erratic.. I would expect to get (output = from input file) sndTrack 0 = snd.wav 2 sndTrack 1 = test.mxf 2 sndTrack 2 = snd.wav 1 sndTrack 3 = test.mxf 1 sndTrack 4 = test.mxf 3 but, the result has channels mapped as sndTrack 0 = snd.wav 1 sndTrack 1 = snd.wav 2 sndTrack 2 = test.mxf 3 sndTrack 3 = snd.wav 1 sndTrack 4 = snd.wav 3 Isn’t there a simple way to set the patching? Or, where is my logic off? thx, Bouke ffmpeg version 3.2.2 Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.4.0 (GCC) configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-dxva2

Cannot build ffmpeg with libx264
by Peterson, David J 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hello All, Let me first say thank you in advance for the help on this. I have been trying to compile a static install of ffmpeg support libx264 for several months now on a RHEL cluster we have and I have tried just about EVERY help forum suggestion I come across but still no luck. The script I have been using to date is copied below. Mostly it just clears everything out and then re-extracts and attempts to build everything necessary to function. I don't know how I can be more explicit for where I am putting the x264 library and I can see from the config.out that it knows where libx264.a is at but it always dies and says: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ERROR: libx264 not found Here is the script I have been using so far. See anything that stands out that I have wrong with this? #!/bin/bash export FFMPEGDIR=/place_where_it_is/ffmpeg_installation rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/yasm rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/nasm-2.13.01 rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/x264 rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build rm -rf $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin cd $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources tar -xvf nasm-2.13.01.tar.xz tar -xvf yasm.tar.gz tar -xvf x264.tar.gz tar -xvf ffmpeg.tar.gz cd $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/yasm autoreconf -fiv ./configure --prefix="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin" make make install make distclean cd $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/nasm-2.13.01 make clean ./configure --prefix="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin" make make install export PATH="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin:$PATH" cd $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/x264 make clean ./configure --prefix="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin" --enable-static --disable-opencl make make install ldconfig cd $FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build/lib:$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build/include:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" make clean ./configure --prefix="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build" --pkg-config-flags="--static" --enable-static --extra-cflags="-I$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_build/lib" --extra-ldexeflags="-static" --bindir="$FFMPEGDIR/ffmpeg_related_bin" --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 make make install make distclean Thank you again for helping with this!

question about displace filter
by Michael Koch 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

In the documentation for the displace filter is written: "The second input specifies how much to displace pixels along the x-axis, ..." If I understand this right, a video input file is "misused" for storing the displacement (instead of brightness). Does that mean that only positive displacements are possible? I'm looking for a solution to make curved text for a fulldome video. Thanks, Michael

filter_complex vs vf with one filter
by Hans Carlson 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

What's the difference between "-filter_complex" and "-vf" when only one filter is used? Specially, when the "scale" filter is used. I assumed the results would be the same, but discovered the "-vf" version creates an mpeg2 file almost 80M larger for my ~600M input test file. $ ls -lGg TEST.mkv TEST-fc.mpg TEST-vf.mpg -rw-r--r--. 1 620992404 Nov 17 20:58 TEST.mkv -rw-r--r--. 1 578318336 Nov 17 21:02 TEST-fc.mpg -rw-r--r--. 1 660838400 Nov 17 21:06 TEST-vf.mpg But the video specs appear to be the same for both output files: $ for i in TEST-fc.mpg TEST-vf.mpg; do ffmpeg -i $i 2>&1 | egrep 'Input|Stream'; done Input #0, mpeg, from 'TEST-fc.mpg': Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 1711x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 1711:720], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 90k tbn, 47.95 tbc Input #0, mpeg, from 'TEST-vf.mpg': Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 1711x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 1711:720], 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 90k tbn, 47.95 tbc The TEST.mkv input file is only 10 mins of the video stream from the original 2hr file. The difference in size for the original (~9G) file is about 1G (7.4G for "-filter_complex" vs 8.4G for "-vf).

Batch convert JPG to Animated GIF's - Where to start?
by colink 17 Nov '17

I have very little experience with command line interface but can follow instructions or edit a working file to suit my needs. Is there any way to batch create GIF's from multiple images? Ideally I would like to create a CSV file or Excel file where each row would list the files to include in the animated GIF (plus if necessary parameters like speed and number of cycles). Files could be on my hard drive or on a remote server (CSV, would include URL for file location) Can I do this with FFMPEG? Does any script exist? Where can I find more information. Willing to consider any other solution with FFMPEG or any other application that allows me to create large numbers of Animated GIF's in an automated way.
