• ffmpeg quality conversion options (video compression)

  25 septembre 2020, par Jason Hunter

  Can you provide a link, or an explanation, to the -q:v 1 argument that deals with video/image quality, and compression, in ffmpeg.

  


  Let me explain...

  


  for f in *
   do 
     extension="${f##*.}"
     filename="${f%.*}"
     ffmpeg -i "$f" -q:v 1 "$filename"_lq."$extension"
     rm -f "$f"
   done


  


  The ffmpeg for loop above compresses all images and videos in your working directory, it basically lowers the quality which results in smaller file sizes (the desired outcome).

  


  I'm most interested in the -q:v 1 argument of this for loop. The 1 in the -q:v 1 argument is what controls the amount of compression. But I can't find any documentation describing how to change this value of 1, and describing what it does. Is it a percentage ? Multiplier ? How do I adjust this knob ? Can/should I use negative values ? Integers only ? Min/max values ? etc.

  


  I started with the official documentation but the best I could find was a section on video quality, and the -q flag description is sparse.

  


  


  -frames[:stream_specifier] framecount (output,per-stream)
  
Stop writing to the stream after framecount frames.
  
.
  
-q[:stream_specifier] q (output,per-stream)
  

  
-qscale[:stream_specifier] q (output,per-stream)
  
Use fixed quality scale (VBR). The meaning of q/qscale is codec-dependent. If qscale is used without a stream_specifier then it applies only to the video stream, this is to maintain compatibility with previous behavior and as specifying the same codec specific value to 2 different codecs that is audio and video generally is not what is intended when no stream_specifier is used.

  


  


• FFmpeg C Api - Reduce fps but maintain video duration

  25 mars 2015, par Justin Bradley

  Using the FFmpeg C API I’m trying to convert an input video into a video that looks like an animated gif - meaning no audio stream and a video stream of 4/fps.

  I have the decode/encode part working. I can drop the audio stream from the output file, but I’m having trouble reducing the fps. I can change the output video stream’s time_base to 4/fps, but it increases the video’s duration - basically playing it in slow mo.

  I think I need to drop the extra frames before I write them to the output container.

  Below is the loop where I read the input frames, and then write them to output container.

  Is this where I’d drop the extra frames ? How do I determine which frames to drop (I,P,B frames) ?

  while(av_read_frame(input_container, &decoded_packet)>=0) {
  
  
  
      if (decoded_packet.stream_index == video_stream_index) {
  
          len = avcodec_decode_video2(input_stream->codec, decoded_frame, &got_frame, &decoded_packet);
  
          if(len < 0) {
  
              exit(1);
  
          }
  
  
  
          if(got_frame) {
  
              av_init_packet(&encoded_packet);
  
              encoded_packet.data =  NULL;
  
              encoded_packet.size =  0;
  
  
  
              if(avcodec_encode_video2(output_stream->codec, &encoded_packet, decoded_frame, &got_frame) < 0) {
  
                  exit(1);
  
              }
  
              if(got_frame) {
  
                  if (output_stream->codec->coded_frame->key_frame) {
  
                      encoded_packet.flags |= AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY;
  
                  }
  
  
  
                  encoded_packet.stream_index = output_stream->index;
  
                  encoded_packet.pts = av_rescale_q(current_frame_num, output_stream->codec->time_base, output_stream->time_base);
  
                  encoded_packet.dts = av_rescale_q(current_frame_num, output_stream->codec->time_base, output_stream->time_base);
  
  
  
                  if(av_interleaved_write_frame(output_container, &encoded_packet) < 0) {
  
                      exit(1);
  
                  }
  
                  else {
  
                      current_frame_num +=1;
  
                  }
  
              }
  
              frame_count+=1;
  
              av_free_packet(&encoded_packet);
  
          }
  
      }
  
  }

• Lossless compression of a sequence of similar grayscale images

  25 octobre 2020, par damien200

  I would like to have the best compression ratio of a sequence of similar grayscale images. I note that I need an absolute lossless solution (meaning I should be able to check it with an hash algorithm).

  


  What I tried

  


  I had the idea to convert my images into a video because there is a chronology between images. The encoding algorithm would compress using the fact that not all the scene change between 2 pictures. So I tried using ffmpeg but I had several problems due to sRGB -> YUV colorspace compression. I didn't understand all the thing but it's seems like a nightmare.

  


  Example of code used :

  


  ffmpeg -i %04d.png -c:v libx265 -crf 0 video.mp4 #To convert into video
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 %04d.png #To recover images



  


  My second idea was to do it by hand with imagemagik. So I took the first image as reference and create a new image that is the difference between image1 and image2. Then I tried to add the difference image with the image 1 (trying to recover image 2) but it didn't work. Noticing the size of the recreated picture, it's clear that the image is not the same. I think there was an unwanted compression during the process.

  


  Example of code used :

  


  composite -compose difference 0001.png 0002.png diff.png #To create the diff image
composite -compose difference 0001.png diff.png recover.png #To recover image 2


  


  Do you have any idea about my problem ?
And why I don't manage to do the perfect recover with iamgemagik ?

  


  Thanks ;)
