• Making Sure The PNG Gets There

  14 juin 2013, par Multimedia Mike — General

  Rewind to 1999. I was developing an HTTP-based remote management interface for an embedded device. The device sat on an ethernet LAN and you could point a web browser at it. The pitch was to transmit an image of the device’s touch screen and the user could click on the picture to interact with the device. So we needed an image format. If you were computing at the time, you know that the web was insufferably limited back then. Our choice basically came down to GIF and JPEG. Being the office’s annoying free software zealot, I was championing a little known up and coming format named PNG.

  So the challenge was to create our own PNG encoder (incorporating a library like libpng wasn’t an option for this platform). I seem to remember being annoyed at having to implement an integrity check (CRC) for the PNG encoder. It’s part of the PNG spec, after all. It just seemed so redundant. At the time, I reasoned that there were 5 layers of integrity validation in play.

  I don’t know why, but I was reflecting on this episode recently and decided to revisit it. Here are all the encapsulation layers of a PNG file when flung over an ethernet network :

  
  
  

  So there are up to 5 encapsulations for the data in this situation. At the innermost level is the image data which is compressed with the zlib DEFLATE method. At first, I thought that this also had a CRC or checksum. However, in researching this post, I couldn’t find any evidence of such an integrity check. Further, I don’t think we bothered to compress the PNG data in this project long ago. It was a small image, monochrome, and transferring via LAN, so the encoder could get away with signaling uncompressed data.

  The graphical data gets wrapped up in a PNG chunk and all PNG chunks have a CRC. To transmit via the network, it goes into a TCP frame, which also has a checksum. That goes into an IP packet. I previously believed that this represented another integrity check. While an IP frame does have a checksum, the checksum only covers the IP header and not the payload. So that doesn’t really count towards this goal.

  Finally, the data gets encapsulated into an ethernet frame which has — you guessed it — a CRC.

  I see that other link layer protocols like PPP and wireless ethernet (802.11) also feature frame CRCs. So I guess what I’m saying is that, if you transfer a PNG file over the network, you can be confident that the data will be free of any errors.

• Trouble building ffmpeg with cuda for windows 32 with visual studio 2022

  27 juillet 2022, par manou

  Here is my building process

  


  I open mingw32 from the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022

  


  then in the mingw32 shell :

  


  # cd /
# ./c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/2022/Community/VC/Auxiliary/Build/vcvars32.bat
# cd ~
# pacman -Sy diffutils git make gcc yasm pkg-config --noconfirm
# git clone --depth 1 https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg 
# git clone https://git.videolan.org/git/ffmpeg/nv-codec-headers.git nv-codec-headers 
# cd nv-codec-headers/
# make PREFIX=/usr/local
# make install PREFIX=/usr/local
# cd ..
# mkdir nv_sdk
# cp -r /c/Program\ Files/NVIDIA\ GPU\ Computing\ Toolkit/CUDA/v11.7/lib/Win32/* nv_sdk
# cp -r /c/Program\ Files/NVIDIA\ GPU\ Computing\ Toolkit/CUDA/v11.7/include/* nv_sdk

# make -j8
# make install


  


  first I have a bunch of warnings during the making looking like that :
libavutil/opt.c(1075): warning C4133: 'fonction' : types incompatibles - de 'AVPixelFormat *' à 'int *'

  


  And finally the make install returns :

  What am I doing wrong ?
shall I install others packets from pacman ?

  


• FFmpeg : Create a Video Slideshow from PNG Images for MS PowerPoint

  20 septembre 2016, par Klaidonis

  I am using FFmpeg on Windows 7 to create a video from PNG image sequence for Microsoft PowerPoint.

  The best results I have achieved so far, is by using the following command :

  ffmpeg -framerate 10 -start_number 3 -i .\folder\name_%d.png -q:v 0 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p output-video.avi

  It seems perfect, 50 images of total size 30 MB are converted into 200 KB video with no loss in the quality. Placing it in PowerPoint also seems right, but there is a slight color shift (yellow appears darker and possibly more orangish). By using some other conversion options, I obtained a video in PowerPoint where the first image of the video (like album cover art) is exactly as the original but the rest of the video plays with the mentioned color shift.

  When I play this file in VLC, it’s good. Although, if in the settings "Use hardware YUV->RGB conversions" is enabled, colors appear a bit washed out, and white color is a bit gray.

  I also tried to convert the images to a GIF file and at first it seems good but outer edges and numbers from the left and top side are blurred, and the background has turned from white to a bit gray color, although, white segments not on the background are white. The output size is 18 MB. I ended up with a way better GIF 600 KB by converting from the first video file ; just it is slightly more dotted, and the background again is grayish.

  ffmpeg -i output-video.avi output-video.gif

  Could someone help ?
