• ffmpeg : Concatenating videos with different formats with as little quality loss as possible

  12 juin 2020, par linesd

  I have sets of video segments with different formats that need to be concatenated and uploaded to a database as a single video. I need to do this with as little quality loss as possible. For example, one set is :

  



  video_1.mov - 796 frames, 432Mb,
video_2.mp4 - 913 frames, 58Mb,
video_3.mov - 625 frames, 345Mb


  



  This should be concatenated into one file :
output.mov - 2334 frames, ?Mb

  



  So far I am doing this :

  



  

  1. Convert the .mp4 to .mov with lossless encoding :

  


  



  ffmpeg -i video_2.mp4 -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 0 -c:a copy video_2.mov

  



  an error is produced during this step :

  



  [h264 @ 0x558298795760] error while decoding MB 110 37, bytestream -69483.1kbits/s speed=0.227x     
[h264 @ 0x558298795760] concealing 3659 DC, 3659 AC, 3659 MV errors in P frame


  



  This still outputs video_2.mov -  frames 913, 112Mb

  



  

  2. Use concat demuxer to combine the videos :

  


  



  ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mov

  



  where mylist.txt is :

  



  file 'video_1.mov'
file 'video_2.mov'
file 'video_3.mov'


  



  However, the concat demuxer command gives the error :

  



  [concat @ 0x561cbae96900] Could not find codec parameters for stream 2 (Unknown: none): unknown codec.Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options


  



  Followed by many lines of :

  



  [mov @ 0x555b5dca4f00] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:1; previous: 1527575, current: 1168413; changing to 1527576. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.


  



  The result of these steps is a output.mov which is the correct size of 432+345+112=889Mb but only has 1421 frames equal to the frames from video_1.mov - 796 frames and video_3.mov - 625 frames. When I play the concatenated version, output.mov, it freezes for the duration of the video_2.mov segment and then continues as normal for video_3.mov.

  



  Any help with this would be hugely appreciated.

  



  EDIT :

  I don't have deeper experience with ffmpeg conversions and codecs. It seems to me that this is a frames related problem. Do you have a clue why does it fail ? What options should I use in ffmpeg command to solve this ? Thanks for any help.

  


• FFmpeg v4l2 copying unstable

  15 juin 2020, par Joel Bodenmann

  Prelude

  



  I am using ffmpeg 4.2.2 on an Ubuntu 20.04 machine to clone the feed of a USB webcam (v4l2 device as /dev/video0) so that multiple applications may access the feed. I used this ffmpeg command which worked lovely :

  



  ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -codec copy -f v4l2 /dev/video1


  



  Essentially this uses a v4l2 loopback device (dummy device) in form of /dev/video1 and a consuming application simply sees this as a regular v4l2 device.

  



  After that worked well, I ran into the need to change the output pixel format (related SO question). My source device provides yuv420p and the sink application can only deal with yuyv422. To achieve this, I use the -pix_fmt argument. This is however not supported when using -codec copy so I need to specify the codec explicitly. This is no problem as v4l2 devices only support raw video (at least as per my knowledge).
Therefore, I end up with this :

  



  ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt yuyv422 -f v4l2 /dev/video1


  



  The problem

  



  Unfortunately, this appears to be very unstable. In about 1 out of 10 times of launching this command it works as expected : ffmpeg starts cloning the feed and converts the color format :

  However, the other times I get very archaic behavior where the output is never usable after except for the first frame (then it freezes) and ffmpeg goes haywire mentioning over 100k duplicate frames in just a few second as well as reporting FPS way beyond 30'000. After a few seconds it then crashes or it simply hangs until I Ctrl^C it :

  I have no idea what leads to this behavior nor how to track it down & fix it. Does anybody have experience with this type of behavior or is there a simple issue on my setup ?

  



  Note : I am using DroidCam. DroidCam provides a Linux client that in turn provides a v4l2 output device. Other than a few minor hicups I did not notice any behavior that would be different from a regular webcam. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this with an ordinary USB UVC webcam as the webcam already provides the desired output pixel format. This output pixel format conversion is really just necessary because DroidCam outputs yuv420p but the application consuming the stream can only handle yuyv422.
