FFmpeg to "szwajcarski nóż oficerski" do przetwarzania obrazu i dźwięku. Niestety ze względu na zawirowania licencyjno-patentowe wykorzystywanych kodeków długo był dostępny w #Fedora tylko z nieoficjalnych repozytoriów. To zmieniło się w lutym 2022 i Dominik Mierzejewski na #JesienLinuksowa przedstawi nam z detalami, jak do tego doszło.

In the mid 1990's I built a real-time streaming video server for a project... the answer was some rocket science C and Java. Got handed a similar problem today. HLS, RTMP, etc.. are solutions, but still rocket science. Gotta stare at it all again tomorrow. Thank $diety for FFMPEG. #ffmpeg

@farooqkz Sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with the headless code on eleuther.ai. But depending on what you want to research, you might be able to do the necessary interactions with the Xvfb #minetest using #mineysocket and/or #ffmpeg.

Decided to look into finishing Jingle calls: to handle audio I/O (along with encoding and decoding), in addition relaying #RTP and RTCP packets over an established encrypted channel. Spent the weekend and some time today poking #FFmpeg, so far managed to setup transcoding and resampling of a file into a stream with Opus over RTP (mixed with RTCP, apparently demultiplexing of those should be done manually and afterwards, which is a little awkward), which can be sent through pipes: the idea was to run capture and playback child processes (or threads) separately, communicating with them over pipes, since FFmpeg's I/O functions seem to be blocking, and rexmpp provides an asynchronous API. Now was about to try audio output (using alsa or a similar driver, via libavdevice), and thought FFmpeg supports it after trying it out with its CLI tools, but failed to do it at first, went looking into the ffplay sources, and noticed that it uses SDL, apparently for audio playback as well.

I thought FFmpeg is quite complicated (probably necessarily so, handling all sorts of things), and it seemed unfortunate that it does not appear to accept receiver's RTCP packets while producing RTP packets, but at least it seemed to handle everything (including even SRTP, for which I currently use libsrtp2). But now I am more inclined to use just something like #PortAudio to grab PCM, and then libopus to produce an #Opus stream (and the other way around on the receiver). With a custom RTP implementation, perhaps.

But having to take a break to sort out some work-related tasks now. One of them actually involves FFmpeg, too, but video streams there, and invoking the ffmpeg CLI program instead of using a library. And there are some relatively boring SQL-based reports to debug.

Who would have thought that working with video on a multi platform game would be such a pain.

Sure, we now hate #Unity anyways but I'm kinda disapointed that there are basically no supported video codecs on Linux (Yeah, I get it h265 is complicated on linux but VP9 would have been nice at least, especially nowadays with the Steamdeck)

Guess I'll do some transcoding today #ffmpeg

The #WebP buffer overflow bug that caused all the major browsers to issue patches earlier this week (e.g. #Firefox 117.0.1) also affects applications built with Electron. #1Password issued an update today for their Mac build.

The CVE affects the underlying webp library, not just web browsers, so this will be an ongoing issue.

#CVE20234863

"Who uses #libwebp?
"There are a lot of applications that use libwebp to render WebP images, I already mentioned a few of them, but some of the others that I know include: #Affinity (the design software), #Gimp, #Inkscape, #LibreOffice, #Telegram, #Thunderbird (now patched), #ffmpeg, and many, many #Android applications as well as cross-platform apps built with #Flutter."

@michal recently i used a #NVIDIA 4060Ti with #ffmpeg 6.0 to encode a #dnxhr 4k video file to #av1 codec and the speed is amazing compare to CPU i tried before. It's even quicker during my tests to encode av1 than h265.

Michal :verified: :btw:

My 4c/8t 4.6GHz i7-7700K CPU burned almost for entire day to bring you this #AV1 encoder time chart - re-encoding the same 480p 75s video in different bitrates (kbit/s) and speed settings (different encoders use different #ffmpeg parameters for some reason).

This does not show you how the image looks, just what to expect in terms of encode time. "Realtime"-ish encodes at:

- SVT preset: 6+
- AOM cpu-used: 5+
- rav1e (the "fastest av1 encoder"): never for some reason...

AV1 encoder benchmarks - spreadsheet and charts screenshot. As the "preset" changes, so do encode times, but surprisingly also higher bitrates result in higher encode times, up to 1.5x going from 100kbit/s to 500kbit/s

Double-checking still in progress. So far, fixed an issues on 13.2/aarch64, another one on 14-CURRENT/amd64 (yep, didn't upgrade my #FreeBSD test builders to 15-CURRENT yet 🙈) and yet another one on 14-CURRENT/i386.

Is someone knowledgable with #video #encoding? Whenever I convert videos with #ffmpeg I'm not sure about what the best settings for the output are.

I play with the quality settings until I find something where I don't notice a difference to the original anymore. This process is pretty subjective. I think it's weird that you can end up with a bigger size video than the source although you have a more efficient codec.

If I leave it at default settings the quality worsens significantly.

Is there a deterministic way that doesn't worsen the source quality but utilizes all the benefits a new codec (like h.265) brings?

Rewriting my Python `ffmpeg` module and packaging it up so I don't have to keep copying it to other projects. The cleanup is still ongoing, and it's back to actually outputting proper `ffmpeg` command-line options.

Ok, so #Topaz Video AI has a pretty horrible user interface, with very limited options, but you can export the actual #ffmpeg command needed to run the AI model.

- Proper mobile styles
- About, disclaimers, etc
- Many more command recipes
- Better accessibility
- "Bug fixes and performance improvements"

But, it's doing the thing!

#ffmpeg #video

Want to make some cool animated GIFs from #Shotcut, but hate its dithering?

Try instead outputting a video from Shotcut & using #FFMPEG to make the GIF.

In Shotcut:

• Reduce the resolution to a max width of 480 & half the FPS.
• Export as lossless video as input.mkv to your FFMPEG folder.

In FFMPEG, do the following:

ffmpeg -i Input.mkv -filter_complex "[0:v] split [a][b];[a] palettegen [p];[b][p] paletteuse" Output.gif

This. I work in film-making and animation and I'm always hacking away in#VSCode.
In the Adobe #AfterEffects user community a good deal of the discussion is about #JavaScript, because that's the language it uses for automation. Similarly for #Blender, a working knowledge of #python is really helpful, #DaVinciResolve uses #Lua and of course there are command line tools like #ffmpeg and #ImageMagick that means having shell scripting skills becomes a superpower.

Could someone who's good with #ffmpeg and #golang help me out with something? I have two implementations of a gif maker that downloads a video and turns it into a gif. For some reason, my go implementation, while faster, produces slow gifs whereas the python implementation makes snappier ones. As far as I can tell, I massaged ffmpeg the same way in both implementations but something went wrong it seems. Python: https://git.sr.ht/~x4d6165/video2gif Go: https://git.sr.ht/~x4d6165/gifmak3r

#ffmpeg

This is the alt text for one of my images. Not sure if/how I'm going to store these, but for now just throwing it here. The image is a screengrab from Dec 4. 2022. it's of the GIFer tool with Freddie Mercury opening the closet door. 

---

This is the prototype interface of my GIF making tool called "GIFer". It's a vertical image roughly two and a half times taller than it is wide. The background is black with light gray text and form fields. The name "GIFer" is at the top followed by the line "A tool for making gifs"

Three images are under the text. They show three different snapshots of the Queen video for The Show Must Go On. The top image shows Freddie Mercury in drag. He's wearing a ping sweater and a short cropped wig. He's about to open a tan closet door behind him. 

The next image down shows Freddie turned around facing front with the door open. Inside it are sharp, semi-abstract, stylized cartoon drawings of two dancers. 

The final image shows a transition into an image with three of the cartoon dancers. 

Below the images is a series of form controls stacked vertically. They include cropping, scaling, dithering, and start and stop times. (I don't have space to list them all)

The Start and Stop time inputs are ranger sliders. The rest of the inputs are text and number form fields with their various current settings. 

The final button on the page is "Run It"
