• How to monitor volume level during ffmpeg capture

  7 septembre 2018, par Virkom

  I capture sound from soundcard, convert it to mp3 and stream to multicast IP.
  Command looks like :

  ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0 -async 1 -vn -acodec libmp3lame -ac 1 -ar 44100 -b:a 128k -flush_packets 0 -f mpegts -pes_payload_size 426 -mpegts_start_pid 0x44 udp://233.21.215.101:1234?pkt_size=1316

  But I need to monitor volume level of capturing. If there is no sound (or noise only) I need to switch to another (reserve) channel.

  Can I get volume level in ffmpeg output ? How I can do it ?

  P.S : I can get volume level by "volumedetect" filter but it’s not in realtime. I need realtime monitoring.

  P.P.S : I run ffmpeg programmatically from my application and can’t monitor additional windows (like video frame when I use showvolume filter).

• advanced ffmpeg compression control

  18 juillet 2017, par Daniel Mahler

  I am using very aggressive video compression, eg -crf 51. I am using this for ’artistic’ effect, so what I am doing may not make sense from a normal video compression point of view.

  So far I have only been using very basic compression control using only the -crf or -b:v flags. The results look like ffmpeg divides images into square patches and the makes smooth approximations within the patches. This gives 2 control dimensions to the process : the patch size and the aggressiveness of the smoothing within the patches.

  It have found that ffmpeg uses both parameters to some extent, but there appears to be an absolute maximum patch size in pixels beyond which it will not go regardless of the frame size.
  After that it will only increase compression by reducing the detail within the patches.

  This is suboptimal for high resolution video, where this becomes equivalent to reducing the resolution. The problem is particularly noticeable on fractal like images which have large featureless region as well as regions of high detail.

  How can I tell ffmpeg to increase the maximum patch size and retain more detail within the patches ?

• How to detect two identical audio/video files with different volume level ?

  3 juillet 2017, par Marina Rappoport

  I’m working on program that could compare 2 video files and show difference.
  I compare audio track of files using SOX and FFMPEG :

  1. invert one of the files (sox)
  2. merge other file and invert version of first (sox)
  3. detect silence (ffmpeg)

  But if two file differs only by volume level - all audio track will be detected as non-silent ranges.

  How to understand that 2 files have the same audio track, but with different volume level ?

  I tried to change sound level via sox : sox -v 1.1 input.wav output.wav
  And then compare statistical information (-n stat).
  It works fine. Result of division parameters audio2/audio1 :

      Samples read 1.00;
  
      Length (seconds) 1.00;
  
      Scaled by 1.00;
  
      Maximum amplitude 1.10;
  
      Minimum amplitude 1.10;
  
      Midline amplitude 1.10;
  
      Mean norm 1.10;
  
      Mean amplitude 1.00;
  
      RMS amplitude 1.10;
  
      Maximum delta 1.10;
  
      Mean delta 1.10;
  
      RMS delta 1.10;
  
      Rough frequency 1.00;
  
      Volume adjustment 1/1.10;

  BUT ! When I tried ffmpeg to change volume of video : ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -af "volume=10dB" output.mp4 (or volume=volume=0.5) and than compared sox audio statistic : I can’t find any patterns...

  Samples read    1.00
  
  Length (seconds)    1.00
  
  Scaled by   1.00
  
  Maximum amplitude   0.71
  
  Minimum amplitude   0.64
  
  Midline amplitude   -2401.73
  
  Mean    norm    0.34
  
  Mean    amplitude   0.50
  
  RMS     amplitude   0.36
  
  Maximum delta   0.37
  
  Mean    delta   0.34
  
  RMS     delta   0.36
  
  Rough   frequency   0.99
  
  Volume adjustment   0.71

  I will be grateful for any ideas and help.
