• How to capture camera devices on Windows using Libav ?

  22 septembre 2011, par Occulta

  Is there any way to capture frames from as many camera types as DirectShow do on Windows platform using Libav ? I need to capture a camera output without using DirectShow filters and I want my application to work with many camera devices types.

  I have searched the Internet about this capability of libav and found that it can be done via libav using special input format "vfwcap". Something like that (don't sure about code correctness - I wrote it by myself) :

  AVFormatParameters formatParams = NULL;
  
  AVInputFormat* pInfmt = NULL;
  
  pInFormatCtx*  pInFormatCtx = NULL;
  
  
  
  av_register_all();
  
  
  
  //formatParams.device = NULL; //this was probably deprecated and then removed
  
  formatParams.channel = 0;
  
  formatParams.standard = "ntsc"; //deprecated too but still available
  
  formatParams.width = 640;
  
  formatParams.height = 480;
  
  formatParams.time_base.num = 1000;
  
  formatParams.time_base.den = 30000; //so we want 30000/1000 = 30 frames per second
  
  formatParams.prealloced_context = 0;
  
  
  
  
  
  pInfmt = av_find_input_format("vfwcap");
  
  if( !pInfmt )
  
  {
  
    fprintf(stderr,"Unknown input format\n");
  
    return -1;
  
  }
  
  
  
  // Open video file (formatParams can be NULL for autodetecting probably)
  
  if (av_open_input_file(&pInFormatCtx, 0, pInfmt, 0, formatParams) < 0)
  
     return -1; // Couldn't open device
  
  
  
  /* Same as video4linux code*/

  So another question is : how many devices are supported by Libav ? All I have found about capture cameras output with libav on windows is advice to use DirectShow for this purpose because libav supports too few devices. Maybe situation has already changed now and it does support enough devices to use it in production applications ?

  If this isn't possible.. Well I hope my question won't be useless and this composed from different sources piece of code will help someone interested in this theme 'coz there are really too few information about it in the whole internet.

• Why does FFMPEG always make large WebM files ?

  2 avril 2013, par Student of Hogwarts

  I'm trying to encode my movies into WebM :

  ffmpeg -i input.MOV -codec:v libvpx -quality good -cpu-used 0 -b:v 10k
  
  -qmin 10 -qmax 42 -maxrate 10k -bufsize 20k -threads 8 -vf scale=-1:1080
  
  -codec:a libvorbis -b:a 192k
  
  output.webm

  I want to encode at a couple of different bit rates (video and audio combined) :

  • 2192 kbps
  • 1692 kbps
  • 1000 kbps

  The problem is that no matter which bit rates I enter, I always get a file with a bit rate higher than 1900 kbps. (1914 kbps with the code example above.)

  What am I doing wrong ?

• split video (avi/h264) on keyframe

  30 novembre 2012, par m.sr

  Hallo.

  I have a big video file. ffmpeg, tcprobe and other tool say, it is an h264-stream in an AVI-container.

  Now i'd like to cut out small chunks form the video.

  1. Problem : The index of the video seam corrupted/destroyed. I kind of fixed this via mplayer -forceidx -saveidx <indexfile> <bigvideofile></bigvideofile></indexfile>. The Problem here is, that I'm now stuck with mplayer/mencoder which can use this index file via -loadidx <indexfile></indexfile>. I have tried correcting the index like described in man aviindex (mplayer -frames 0 -saveidx mpidx broken.avi ; aviindex -i mpidx -o tcindex ; avimerge -x tcindex -i broken.avi -o fixed.avi), but this didn't fix my video - meaning that most tools i've tested couldn't search in the video file.

  2. Problem : I cut out parts of the video via following command : mencoder -loadidx in.idx -ss 8578 -endpos 20 -oac faac -ovc x264 -sws 9 -lavfopts format=mp4 -x264encopts <lotsofopts> -of lavf -vf scale=800:-10,harddup in.avi -o out.mp4</lotsofopts>. Now here the problem is, that some videos are corrupted at the beginning. I think this is because the fact, that i do not necessarily cut at keyframe.

  Questions :

  1. What is the best way to fix the index of an avi "inline" so that every tool can again work as expected with it ?

  2. How can i split at the keyframes ? Is there an mencoder-option for this ?

  3. Are Keyframes coming in a frequency ? How to find out this frequency ? (So with a bit of math it should be possible to calculate the next keyframe and cut there)

  4. Is ther perhaps some completely other way to split this movie ? Doing it by hand is no option, i've to cut out 1000+ chunks ...

  Thanks a lot !
