• C api on capturing video stream from webcam using ffmpeg

  14 juillet 2013, par Tanjim Hossain Sifat

  I am a new user of ffmpeg. Ffmpeg has a good documentation on using it in command-line, but i am looking for some C API code.

  I want to make a software using C, that would capture video stream from webcam and give me the video stream in raw format, that I would encode in a codec later.

  I have visited this given link, but it provided only the command-line use, not the use of libraries provided by ffmpeg :
  http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/How%20to%20capture%20a%20webcam%20input

  I also visited this link, which gave me good idea on using the libavcodec, but no other tutorial is available :
  ffmpeg C API documentation/tutorial

  Please someone help me finding C api on video stream capturing from webcam using ffmpeg's library. Thanks in advance.

• How to record from webcam using ffmpeg with precise time information of when it was taken ?

  27 février 2021, par Trac3rZ

  I need to record from my 2 webcams and output each frame recorded into images. An additional requirement is I need the time when the image is captured (it has to be precise up to around 10 milliseconds)

  


  Things I've tried :

  


  ffmpeg -y -f video4linux2 -r $frame_rate -i /dev/video0 -vframes 100 -strftime 1 cam0_"%H-%M-%S".png &
ffmpeg -y -f video4linux2 -r $frame_rate -i /dev/video1 -vframes 100 -strftime 1 cam1_"%H-%M-%S".png


  


  This is only good up to a second, so if 2 images are taken within 1 second, 1 is overwritten.

  


  for i in [1..100]
    ffmpeg -y -f video4linux2 -r $frame_rate -i /dev/video0 -vframes 1 -strftime 1 cam0_%5d.png
    date +%s%3N >> time.txt


  


  Then 2 scripts are run in parallel. The timing is now precise up to a millisecond but this degrades the performance a lot since ffmpeg has to be initialized again each time I call the script.

  


  I also tried this

  


  ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -pixel_format yuv420p -timestamps abs -copyts \
   -i /dev/video0 -vf setpts=PTS-STARTPTS -vsync 0 -vframes 10 \
   camera0-%5d.jpeg -c copy -vsync 0 -vframes 10 -f mkvtimestamp_v2 timings.txt


  


  And here's timings.txt

  This is good up to 100ms.

  


  Is there any better way to do this ?

  I have high resolution video

    Duration: 00:06:28.80, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 15968 kb/s
  
      Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 15809 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25k tbn, 50 tbc (default)
  
      Metadata:
  
        creation_time   : 2016-10-11 05:35:02
  
        handler_name    : Alias Data Handler
  
        encoder         : AVC Coding
  
      Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, mono, fltp, 157 kb/s (default)
  
      Metadata:

        handler_name    : Alias Data Handler

  Its 6+min video.

  I am ok with resolution of 240p (because i want to send it on whatsapp)

  In order my video to look good quality what is the recommended bitrate for 240p. Also is what is the minimum bitrate below which the chances of pixelating will be there in the video.

  I dont want to go for high bitrate also. Because ultimately i want the size to be not more than 240p.

  I use mpv to see the video. I scale the original video to 240p, the quality after conversion should match the quality visible in mpv. That will give me first hand idea of how good is the conversion.

  I expect a good amount of reduction in size(MB : where original is 740mb) of the file when reduced from 1920x1080 to 240p

  I have found some information regarding this.

  

  How much is this true
