@section I cannot read this file although this format seems to be supported by ffmpeg.
|
2002-11-04 18:50:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even if ffmpeg can read the file format, it may not support all its
|
|
|
|
codecs. Please consult the supported codec list in the ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
documentation.

@section How do I encode JPEGs to another format ?

2002-11-04 18:50:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 17:54:48 +00:00
|
|
|
If the JPEGs are named img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg,..., use:
|
2002-11-04 18:50:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2006-08-24 14:03:08 +00:00
|
|
|
ffmpeg -f image2 -i img%d.jpg /tmp/a.mpg
|
2002-11-04 18:50:04 +00:00
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@samp{%d} is replaced by the image number.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@file{img%03d.jpg} generates @file{img001.jpg}, @file{img002.jpg}, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The same system is used for the other image formats.

@section How do I encode movie to single pictures ?

|
|
|
|
2006-11-05 13:31:57 +00:00
|
|
|
Use:
|
2006-07-25 11:42:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2006-11-05 13:31:57 +00:00
|
|
|
ffmpeg -i movie.mpg movie%d.jpg
|
2006-07-25 11:42:13 +00:00
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
2006-11-05 13:31:57 +00:00
|
|
|
The @file{movie.mpg} used as input will be converted to
|
|
|
|
@file{movie1.jpg}, @file{movie2.jpg}, etc...
|
2006-07-25 11:42:13 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of relying on file format self-recognition, you may also use
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item -vcodec ppm
|
|
|
|
@item -vcodec png
|
|
|
|
@item -vcodec mjpeg
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
to force the encoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applying that to the previous example:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2006-11-05 13:31:57 +00:00
|
|
|
ffmpeg -i movie.mpg -f image2 -vcodec mjpeg menu%d.jpg
|
2006-07-25 11:42:13 +00:00
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beware that there is no "jpeg" codec. Use "mjpeg" instead.

@section FFmpeg does not support codec XXX. Can you include a Windows DLL loader to support it ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No. FFmpeg only supports open source codecs. Windows DLLs are not
|
|
|
|
portable, bloated and often slow.

@section I get "Unsupported codec (id=86043) for input stream #0.1". What is the problem ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the Qcelp codec, FFmpeg has no support for that codec currently. Try mencoder/mplayer it might work.

@section Why do I see a slight quality degradation with multithreaded MPEG* encoding ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For multithreaded MPEG* encoding, the encoded slices must be independent,
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
otherwise thread n would practically have to wait for n-1 to finish, so it's
|
|
|
|
quite logical that there is a small reduction of quality. This is not a bug.

@section Why does ffmpeg not decode audio in VOB files ?
|
2003-09-08 21:39:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
The audio is AC3 (a.k.a. A/52). AC3 decoding is an optional component in ffmpeg
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
as the component that handles AC3 decoding (liba52) is currently released under
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
the GPL. If you have liba52 installed on your system, enable AC3 decoding
|
2007-02-20 09:59:31 +00:00
|
|
|
with @code{./configure --enable-liba52 --enable-gpl}. Take care: by
|
2003-09-08 21:39:36 +00:00
|
|
|
enabling AC3, you automatically change the license of libavcodec from
|
|
|
|
LGPL to GPL.

Windows does not support standard formats like MPEG very well, unless you
|
2004-06-29 12:13:34 +00:00
|
|
|
install some additional codecs
|
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 19:54:58 +00:00
|
|
|
The following list of video codecs should work on most Windows systems:
|
2004-06-29 12:13:34 +00:00
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item msmpeg4v2
|
|
|
|
.avi/.asf
|
|

@item msmpeg4
|
|

.asf only
|
|

|
@item wmv1
|
|

.asf only
|
|
|
|
@item wmv2
|
|
|

.asf only
|
|
|
|
@item mpeg4
|
2005-06-09 19:54:58 +00:00
|
|
|
only if you have some MPEG-4 codec installed like ffdshow or XviD
|
2004-06-29 12:13:34 +00:00
|
|
|
@item mpeg1
|

.mpg only
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
Note, ASF files often have .wmv or .wma extensions in Windows. It should also
|
|
|
|
be mentioned that Microsoft claims a patent on the ASF format, and may sue
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
or threaten users who create ASF files with non-Microsoft software. It is
|
|
|
|
strongly advised to avoid ASF where possible.

@section Why does the chrominance data seem to be sampled at a different time from the luminance data on bt8x8 captures on Linux?

|
|
|
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
This is a well-known bug in the bt8x8 driver. For 2.4.26 there is a patch at
|
2006-02-22 10:52:00 +00:00
|
|
|
(@url{http://mplayerhq.hu/~michael/bttv-420-2.4.26.patch}). This may also
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
apply cleanly to other 2.4-series kernels.

2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|

Pass 'combfilter=1 lumafilter=1' to the bttv driver. Note though that 'combfilter=1'
|
2006-02-22 10:52:00 +00:00
|
|
|
will cause somewhat too strong filtering. A fix is to apply (@url{http://mplayerhq.hu/~michael/bttv-comb-2.4.26.patch})
|
|
|
|
or (@url{http://mplayerhq.hu/~michael/bttv-comb-2.6.6.patch})

Nowhere. Upgrade to the latest release or if there is no recent release upgrade
|
2006-06-09 09:55:04 +00:00
|
|
|
to Subversion HEAD. You could also try to report it. Maybe you will get lucky and
|
2005-06-09 17:54:48 +00:00
|
|
|
become the first person in history to get an answer different from "upgrade

2005-06-09 19:54:58 +00:00

Some codecs, like MPEG-1/2, only allow a small number of fixed framerates.
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Choose a different codec with the -vcodec command line option.

@section How do I encode XviD or DivX video with ffmpeg?
|
2004-10-16 16:47:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 17:54:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Both XviD and DivX (version 4+) are implementations of the ISO MPEG-4
|
2004-10-16 16:47:42 +00:00
|
|
|
standard (note that there are many other coding formats that use this
|
|
|
|
same standard). Thus, use '-vcodec mpeg4' to encode these formats. The
|
2005-06-09 17:55:36 +00:00
|
|
|
default fourcc stored in an MPEG-4-coded file will be 'FMP4'. If you want
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
a different fourcc, use the '-vtag' option. E.g., '-vtag xvid' will
|
|
|
|
force the fourcc 'xvid' to be stored as the video fourcc rather than the
|
2004-10-16 16:47:42 +00:00
|
|
|
default.

@section Interlaced video looks very bad when encoded with ffmpeg, whats wrong?
|
|
|
|
|

You should use '-flags +ilme+ildct' and maybe '-flags +alt' for interlaced
|
|
|
|
material, and try '-top 0/1' if the result looks really messed-up.

@section How can I read DirectShow files?

If you have built FFmpeg with @code{./configure --enable-avisynth}
|
|
|
|
(only possible on MinGW/Cygwin platforms),
|
|
|
|
then you may use any file that DirectShow can read as input.
|
|
|
|
(Be aware that this feature has been recently added,
|
|
|
|
so you will need to help yourself in case of problems.)
|
2006-09-16 12:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just create an "input.avs" text file with this single line ...
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
DirectShowSource("C:\path to your file\yourfile.asf")
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
2006-09-17 07:34:54 +00:00
|
|
|
... and then feed that text file to FFmpeg:
|
2006-09-16 12:40:18 +00:00
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
ffmpeg -i input.avs
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|

@section When will the next FFmpeg version be released? / Why are FFmpeg releases so few and far between?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like most open source projects FFmpeg suffers from a certain lack of
|
|
|
|
manpower. For this reason the developers have to prioritize the work
|
|
|
|
they do and putting out releases is not at the top of the list, fixing
|
|
|
|
bugs and reviewing patches takes precedence. Please don't complain or
|
|
|
|
request more timely and/or frequent releases unless you are willing to
|
|
|
|
help out creating them.

@section Why doesn't FFmpeg support feature [xyz]?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because no one has taken on that task yet. FFmpeg development is
|
|
|
|
driven by the tasks that are important to the individual developers.
|
|
|
|
If there is a feature that is important to you, the best way to get
|
|
|
|
it implemented is to undertake the task yourself.

Yes. Read the Developers Guide of the FFmpeg documentation. Alternatively,
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
examine the source code for one of the many open source projects that
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
already incorporate ffmpeg at (@url{projects.php}).

@section Can you support my C compiler XXX ?
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-25 17:34:08 +00:00
|
|
|
It depends. If your compiler is C99-compliant, then patches to support
|
|
|
|
it are likely to be welcome if they do not pollute the source code
|
|
|
|
with @code{#ifdef}s related to the compiler.

@section Visual C++ produces many errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visual C++ is not compliant to the C standard and does not support
|
|
|
|
the inline assembly used in FFmpeg.
|
|
|
|
If you wish - for whatever weird reason - to use Visual C++ for your
|
|
|
|
project then you can link the Visual C++ code with libav* as long as
|
|
|
|
you compile the latter with a working C compiler. For more information, see
|
|
|
|
the @emph{Visual C++ compatibility} section in the FFmpeg documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There have been efforts to make FFmpeg compatible with Visual C++ in the
|
|
|
|
past. However, they have all been rejected as too intrusive, especially
|
|
|
|
since MinGW does the job perfectly adequately. None of the core developers
|
|
|
|
work with Visual C++ and thus this item is low priority. Should you find
|
|
|
|
the silver bullet that solves this problem, feel free to shoot it at us.

|
|
|
|
2003-09-16 20:28:18 +00:00
|
|

Yes, but the MinGW tools @emph{must} be used to compile FFmpeg. You
|
|
|
|
can link the resulting DLLs with any other Windows program. Read the
|
2005-09-28 21:18:11 +00:00

No. These tools are too bloated and they complicate the build.

@section Why not rewrite ffmpeg in object-oriented C++ ?
|
2004-07-15 21:28:18 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-06-09 17:54:48 +00:00
|
|
|
ffmpeg is already organized in a highly modular manner and does not need to
|
2005-12-17 18:14:38 +00:00
|
|
|
be rewritten in a formal object language. Further, many of the developers
|
2004-10-01 02:35:21 +00:00
|
|
|
favor straight C; it works for them. For more arguments on this matter,
|

@section Why are the ffmpeg programs devoid of debugging symbols ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The build process creates ffmpeg_g, ffplay_g, etc. which contain full debug
|
|
|
|
information. Those binaries are strip'd to create ffmpeg, ffplay, etc. If
|
|
|
|
you need the debug information, used the *_g versions.

|
|

2005-09-12 15:51:29 +00:00

Yes, as long as the code is optional and can easily and cleanly be placed
|
|
|
|
under #ifdef CONFIG_GPL without breaking anything. So for example a new codec
|
|
|
|
or filter would be OK under GPL while a bugfix to LGPL code would not.

Common code is in its own files in libav* and is used by the individual
|
|
|
|
codecs. They will not work without the common parts, you have to compile
|
|
|
|
the whole libav*. If you wish, disable some parts with configure switches.
|
|
|
|
You can also try to hack it and remove more, but if you had problems fixing
|
|
|
|
the compilation failure then you are probably not qualified for this.

You have to implement a URLProtocol, see libavformat/file.c in FFmpeg
|
|
|
|
and libmpdemux/demux_lavf.c in MPlayer sources.
