• Evolution of Multimedia Fiefdoms

  1er octobre 2014, par Multimedia Mike — General

  I want to examine how multimedia fiefdoms have risen and fallen through the years.

  
  
  

  Back in the day, the multimedia fiefdoms were built around the formats put forth by competing companies : there was Microsoft/WMV, Apple/MOV, and Real/RM as the big contenders. On2 always wanted to be a player in this arena but could never quite catch a break. A few brave contenders held the line for open source and also for the power users who desired one application that could handle everything (my original motivation for wanting to get into multimedia hacking).

  The computer desktop was the battleground for internet-based media stream. Whatever happened to those days ? Actually, if memory serves, Flash-based video streaming stepped on all of them.

  Over the last 6-7 years, the battleground has expanded to cover mobile devices, where Flash’s impact has… lessened. During this time, multimedia technology pretty well standardized on a particular stack, namely, the MPEG (MP4/H.264/AAC) stack.

  The belligerents in this war tried for years to effectively penetrate new territory, namely, the living room where the television lived. This had been slowgoing for years due to various user interface and content issues, but steadily improved.

  Last April, Amazon announced their entry into the set-top box market with the Fire TV. That was when it suddenly crystallized for me that the multimedia ecosystem has radically shifted. Now, the multimedia fiefdoms revolve around access to content via streaming services.

  Off the top of my head, here are some of the fiefdoms these days (fiefdoms I have experience using) :

  • Netflix (subscription streaming)
  • Amazon (subscription, rental, and purchased streaming)
  • Hulu Plus (subscription streaming)
  • Apple (rental and purchased media)

  I checked some results on Can I Stream.It ? (which I refer to often) and found a bunch more streaming fiefdoms such as Google (both Play and YouTube, which are separate services), Sony, Xbox 360, Crackle, Redbox Instant, Vudu, Target Ticket, Epix, Sony, SnagFilms, and XFINITY StreamPix. And surely, these are probably just services available in the United States ; I know other geographical regions have their own fiefdoms.

  What happened ?

  When I got into multimedia hacking, there were all these disparate, competing ecosystems. As a consumer, I didn’t care where the media came from, I just wanted to play it. That’s what inspired me to work on open source multimedia projects. Now I realize that I have the same problem 10-15 years later : there are multiple competing ecosystems. I might subscribe to fiefdoms X and Y, but am frustrated to learn that something I’d like to watch is only available through fiefdom Z. Very few of these fiefdoms can be penetrated using open source technology.

  I’m not really sure about the point about this whole post. Multimedia technology seems really standardized these days. But that’s probably just my perspective because I have spent way too long focusing on a few areas of multimedia technology such as audio and video coding. It’s interesting that all these services probably leverage the same limited number of codecs. Their differentiation comes from the catalog of content that each is able to license for streaming. There are different problems to solve in the multimedia arena now.

• ffmpeg conversion from Flac to Ogg produces corrupted files

  8 avril 2021, par experimental

  i transcoded flac files to ogg using this command

  


  ffmpeg -i input.flac -c:a libvorbis -b:a 500k  output.ogg


  


  yes i use 500k to keep the highest quality possible, some of the files are ok, but some of them can not be played - Unsupported format or corrupted file says the foobar - also my icecast streamer cant read it. So there is something wrong with the files.

  


  I believed it was due to the high bitrate so I tried

  


  ffmpeg -i input.flac -c:a libvorbis -b:a 320k  output.ogg


  


  the same happened, some files were ok, some were not playable.
so I tried again with default using this command

  


  ffmpeg -i input.flac -c:a libvorbis output.ogg


  


  same thing. some files were ok, some were corrupted and not playable.

  


  i have no clue why.

  


  both flac and ogg are in the same family, what happened during the transcoding that it became a corrupted file ?

  


  the spectral analysis does not show anything wrong - here it the ogg https://prnt.sc/115zdjl, here is the original flac https://prnt.sc/115zegw

  


  i am really interested what is going on and how to make it work ?

  


  can anyone explain ?

  


  here is complete log

• FFMPEG adds extra contents to the beginning of the file, when converting OGG audio to MP3

  3 décembre 2018, par PBM

  I use the following ffmpeg -i   to convert ogg music files to mp3. I, however, realized that the resulting mp3 files on some ogg files are slightly longer, and includes the repetition of the first half a second of the original file in the beginning. (Which is quite annoying when listening to the MP3s).

  Anybody else faced similar issues ?

  FYI, I am using ffmpeg version 4.0.3, which uses libmp3lame as the encoder for MP3 output.
