• Documented ffmpeg commands not recognized by ffmpeg

  2 avril 2020, par agconti

  I'm trying to use options like, ldash and http_opts, as the dash muxer docs describe but FFmpeg doesn't recognize them. I'm on the latest released version of ffmpeg, v4.2.2. I see the changes in the ffmpeg master branch but not in the v4.2 release branch. Does ffmpeg not recognize them because they haven't been released yet ?

  



  Here's the dash muxer docs for reference : https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#dash-2

  



  Here's a minimal example command with uncut output :

• How to efficiently store variable frame rate video stream in a pyqt application ?

  1er octobre 2024, par Jeroen De Geeter

  I am developing a PyQT (PySide6) application that needs to display and store multiple camera streams at the same time. The display of the camera streams goes well, however, storing these streams seems to slow down the application significantly up to a point where the GUI doesn't work fluently anymore.

  


  I have a minimal working example using a stub to demonstrate how my code currently works. However, given that it is a minimal working example, it will not visibly slow down.

        self.killSwitch = True
        while self.killSwitch:
            self.newFrame.emit((np.random.rand(1456, 1080, 3) * 255).astype(np.uint8))
            sleep((20 + int(np.random.rand() * 30))/ 1000)


class VideoWriter(QThread):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.output_container = av.open('output_video.mkv', mode='w')
        self.stream = self.output_container.add_stream('ffv1', rate=None)
        self.stream.width = 1456
        self.stream.height = 1080
        self.stream.pix_fmt = 'yuv420p'

    def addFrame(self, frame: np.ndarray):
        av_frame = av.VideoFrame.from_ndarray(frame, format='rgb24')
        av_frame.pts = None # Leave emtpy for auto-handling - variable framerate?
        for packet in self.stream.encode(av_frame):
            self.output_container.mux(packet)

    def stop(self):
        self.output_container.close()

        self.disconnectButton = QPushButton('Disconnect', parent=self)
        buttonLayout.addWidget(self.connectButton)
        buttonLayout.addWidget(self.disconnectButton)
        buttonLayout.addStretch()

        layout.addWidget(rgbButtonWidget)

        widget.setLayout(layout)
        return widget

    def closeEvent(self, event):
        self.closeSignal.emit()
        event.accept()



if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    rgbCamera = RGBCameraStub()
    videoWriter = VideoWriter()
    videoWriter.start()

    main_window = MainWindow()

    # Button connections
    main_window.connectButton.clicked.connect(rgbCamera.start)
    main_window.disconnectButton.clicked.connect(rgbCamera.stop)
    # main_window.disconnectButton.clicked.connect(videoWriter.stop)

    # Display frames
    rgbCamera.newFrame.connect(main_window.vimbaImage.setImage)

    # Write frame to file
    rgbCamera.newFrame.connect(videoWriter.addFrame)

    # Close application
    main_window.closeSignal.connect(rgbCamera.stop)
    main_window.closeSignal.connect(videoWriter.stop)

    main_window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())



  


  My question(s) therefore are :

  


  

  • How can I increase the performance of the VideoWriter ? I am currently adding frame by frame as soon as the camera thread provides a new frame. Maybe this is not the best approach ?

  


  • The frame rate of the camera is not completely stable, I therefore set av_frame.pts = None but maybe this is also not the approach to take ?

  


  • With code as is, the resulting media file quickly blows up in size, is there a way of dealing with this without quality loss ?

  


  


  As a side not, I currently use the PyAV wrapper for the FFmpeg libraries, however I am open to other suggestions.
