@chapter Muxers
|
|
@c man begin MUXERS
|
|
|
|
Muxers are configured elements in FFmpeg which allow writing
|
|
multimedia streams to a particular type of file.
|
|
|
|
When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported muxers
|
|
are enabled by default. You can list all available muxers using the
|
|
configure option @code{--list-muxers}.
|
|
|
|
You can disable all the muxers with the configure option
|
|
@code{--disable-muxers} and selectively enable / disable single muxers
|
|
with the options @code{--enable-muxer=@var{MUXER}} /
|
|
@code{--disable-muxer=@var{MUXER}}.
|
|
|
|
The option @code{-formats} of the ff* tools will display the list of
|
|
enabled muxers.
|
|
|
|
A description of some of the currently available muxers follows.

@section crc
|
|
|
|
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) testing format.
|
|
|
|
This muxer computes and prints the Adler-32 CRC of all the input audio
|
|
and video frames. By default audio frames are converted to signed
|
|
16-bit raw audio and video frames to raw video before computing the
|
|
CRC.
|
|
|
|
The output of the muxer consists of a single line of the form:
|
|
CRC=0x@var{CRC}, where @var{CRC} is a hexadecimal number 0-padded to
|
|
8 digits containing the CRC for all the decoded input frames.
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{framecrc} muxer.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
For example to compute the CRC of the input, and store it in the file
|
|
@file{out.crc}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f crc out.crc
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can print the CRC to stdout with the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f crc -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can select the output format of each frame with @command{ffmpeg} by
|
|
specifying the audio and video codec and format. For example to
|
|
compute the CRC of the input audio converted to PCM unsigned 8-bit
|
|
and the input video converted to MPEG-2 video, use the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:a pcm_u8 -c:v mpeg2video -f crc -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@anchor{framecrc}
|
|
@section framecrc
|
|
|
|
Per-packet CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) testing format.
|
|
|
|
This muxer computes and prints the Adler-32 CRC for each audio
|
|
and video packet. By default audio frames are converted to signed
|
|
16-bit raw audio and video frames to raw video before computing the
|
|
CRC.
|
|
|
|
The output of the muxer consists of a line for each audio and video
|
|
packet of the form:
|
|
@example
|
|
@var{stream_index}, @var{packet_dts}, @var{packet_pts}, @var{packet_duration}, @var{packet_size}, 0x@var{CRC}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@var{CRC} is a hexadecimal number 0-padded to 8 digits containing the
|
|
CRC of the packet.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
For example to compute the CRC of the audio and video frames in
|
|
@file{INPUT}, converted to raw audio and video packets, and store it
|
|
in the file @file{out.crc}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framecrc out.crc
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To print the information to stdout, use the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framecrc -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
With @command{ffmpeg}, you can select the output format to which the
|
|
audio and video frames are encoded before computing the CRC for each
|
|
packet by specifying the audio and video codec. For example, to
|
|
compute the CRC of each decoded input audio frame converted to PCM
|
|
unsigned 8-bit and of each decoded input video frame converted to
|
|
MPEG-2 video, use the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:a pcm_u8 -c:v mpeg2video -f framecrc -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{crc} muxer.
|
|
|
|
@anchor{framehash}
|
|
@section framehash
|
|
|
|
Per-packet hash testing format.
|
|
|
|
This muxer computes and prints a cryptographic hash for each audio
|
|
and video packet. This can be used for packet-by-packet equality
|
|
checks without having to individually do a binary comparison on each.
|
|
|
|
By default audio frames are converted to signed 16-bit raw audio and
|
|
video frames to raw video before computing the hash, but the output
|
|
of explicit conversions to other codecs can also be used. It uses the
|
|
SHA-256 cryptographic hash function by default, but supports several
|
|
other algorithms.
|
|
|
|
The output of the muxer consists of a line for each audio and video
|
|
packet of the form:
|
|
@example
|
|
@var{stream_index}, @var{packet_dts}, @var{packet_pts}, @var{packet_duration}, @var{packet_size}, @var{hash}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@var{hash} is a hexadecimal number representing the computed hash
|
|
for the packet.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item hash @var{algorithm}
|
|
Use the cryptographic hash function specified by the string @var{algorithm}.
|
|
Supported values include @code{MD5}, @code{murmur3}, @code{RIPEMD128},
|
|
@code{RIPEMD160}, @code{RIPEMD256}, @code{RIPEMD320}, @code{SHA160},
|
|
@code{SHA224}, @code{SHA256} (default), @code{SHA512/224}, @code{SHA512/256},
|
|
@code{SHA384}, @code{SHA512}, @code{CRC32} and @code{adler32}.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
To compute the SHA-256 hash of the audio and video frames in @file{INPUT},
|
|
converted to raw audio and video packets, and store it in the file
|
|
@file{out.sha256}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framehash out.sha256
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To print the information to stdout, using the MD5 hash function, use
|
|
the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framehash -hash md5 -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{hash} muxer.
|
|
|
|
@anchor{framemd5}
|
|
@section framemd5
|
|
|
|
Per-packet MD5 testing format.
|
|
|
|
This is a variant of the @ref{framehash} muxer. Unlike that muxer,
|
|
it defaults to using the MD5 hash function.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
To compute the MD5 hash of the audio and video frames in @file{INPUT},
|
|
converted to raw audio and video packets, and store it in the file
|
|
@file{out.md5}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framemd5 out.md5
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To print the information to stdout, use the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f framemd5 -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{framehash} and @ref{md5} muxers.
|
|
|
|
@anchor{gif}
|
|
@section gif
|
|
|
|
Animated GIF muxer.
|
|
|
|
It accepts the following options:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item loop
|
|
Set the number of times to loop the output. Use @code{-1} for no loop, @code{0}
|
|
for looping indefinitely (default).
|
|
|
|
@item final_delay
|
|
Force the delay (expressed in centiseconds) after the last frame. Each frame
|
|
ends with a delay until the next frame. The default is @code{-1}, which is a
|
|
special value to tell the muxer to re-use the previous delay. In case of a
|
|
loop, you might want to customize this value to mark a pause for instance.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
For example, to encode a gif looping 10 times, with a 5 seconds delay between
|
|
the loops:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -loop 10 -final_delay 500 out.gif
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Note 1: if you wish to extract the frames in separate GIF files, you need to
|
|
force the @ref{image2} muxer:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:v gif -f image2 "out%d.gif"
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Note 2: the GIF format has a very small time base: the delay between two frames
|
|
can not be smaller than one centi second.
|
|
|
|
@anchor{hash}
|
|
@section hash
|
|
|
|
Hash testing format.
|
|
|
|
This muxer computes and prints a cryptographic hash of all the input
|
|
audio and video frames. This can be used for equality checks without
|
|
having to do a complete binary comparison.
|
|
|
|
By default audio frames are converted to signed 16-bit raw audio and
|
|
video frames to raw video before computing the hash, but the output
|
|
of explicit conversions to other codecs can also be used. Timestamps
|
|
are ignored. It uses the SHA-256 cryptographic hash function by default,
|
|
but supports several other algorithms.
|
|
|
|
The output of the muxer consists of a single line of the form:
|
|
@var{algo}=@var{hash}, where @var{algo} is a short string representing
|
|
the hash function used, and @var{hash} is a hexadecimal number
|
|
representing the computed hash.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item hash @var{algorithm}
|
|
Use the cryptographic hash function specified by the string @var{algorithm}.
|
|
Supported values include @code{MD5}, @code{murmur3}, @code{RIPEMD128},
|
|
@code{RIPEMD160}, @code{RIPEMD256}, @code{RIPEMD320}, @code{SHA160},
|
|
@code{SHA224}, @code{SHA256} (default), @code{SHA512/224}, @code{SHA512/256},
|
|
@code{SHA384}, @code{SHA512}, @code{CRC32} and @code{adler32}.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
To compute the SHA-256 hash of the input converted to raw audio and
|
|
video, and store it in the file @file{out.sha256}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f hash out.sha256
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To print an MD5 hash to stdout use the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f hash -hash md5 -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{framehash} muxer.
|
|
|
|
@anchor{hls}
|
|
@section hls
|
|
|
|
Apple HTTP Live Streaming muxer that segments MPEG-TS according to
|
|
the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) specification.
|
|
|
|
It creates a playlist file, and one or more segment files. The output filename
|
|
specifies the playlist filename.
|
|
|
|
By default, the muxer creates a file for each segment produced. These files
|
|
have the same name as the playlist, followed by a sequential number and a
|
|
.ts extension.
|
|
|
|
For example, to convert an input file with @command{ffmpeg}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i in.nut out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
This example will produce the playlist, @file{out.m3u8}, and segment files:
|
|
@file{out0.ts}, @file{out1.ts}, @file{out2.ts}, etc.
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{segment} muxer, which provides a more generic and
|
|
flexible implementation of a segmenter, and can be used to perform HLS
|
|
segmentation.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
This muxer supports the following options:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item hls_time @var{seconds}
|
|
Set the segment length in seconds. Default value is 2.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_list_size @var{size}
|
|
Set the maximum number of playlist entries. If set to 0 the list file
|
|
will contain all the segments. Default value is 5.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_ts_options @var{options_list}
|
|
Set output format options using a :-separated list of key=value
|
|
parameters. Values containing @code{:} special characters must be
|
|
escaped.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_wrap @var{wrap}
|
|
Set the number after which the segment filename number (the number
|
|
specified in each segment file) wraps. If set to 0 the number will be
|
|
never wrapped. Default value is 0.
|
|
|
|
This option is useful to avoid to fill the disk with many segment
|
|
files, and limits the maximum number of segment files written to disk
|
|
to @var{wrap}.
|
|
|
|
@item start_number @var{number}
|
|
Start the playlist sequence number from @var{number}. Default value is
|
|
0.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_allow_cache @var{allowcache}
|
|
Explicitly set whether the client MAY (1) or MUST NOT (0) cache media segments.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_base_url @var{baseurl}
|
|
Append @var{baseurl} to every entry in the playlist.
|
|
Useful to generate playlists with absolute paths.
|
|
|
|
Note that the playlist sequence number must be unique for each segment
|
|
and it is not to be confused with the segment filename sequence number
|
|
which can be cyclic, for example if the @option{wrap} option is
|
|
specified.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_segment_filename @var{filename}
|
|
Set the segment filename. Unless hls_flags single_file is set @var{filename}
|
|
is used as a string format with the segment number:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg in.nut -hls_segment_filename 'file%03d.ts' out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
This example will produce the playlist, @file{out.m3u8}, and segment files:
|
|
@file{file000.ts}, @file{file001.ts}, @file{file002.ts}, etc.
|
|
|
|
@item use_localtime
|
|
Use strftime on @var{filename} to expand the segment filename with localtime.
|
|
The segment number (%d) is not available in this mode.
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg in.nut -use_localtime 1 -hls_segment_filename 'file-%Y%m%d-%s.ts' out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
This example will produce the playlist, @file{out.m3u8}, and segment files:
|
|
@file{file-20160215-1455569023.ts}, @file{file-20160215-1455569024.ts}, etc.
|
|
|
|
@item use_localtime_mkdir
|
|
Used together with -use_localtime, it will create up to one subdirectory which
|
|
is expanded in @var{filename}.
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg in.nut -use_localtime 1 -use_localtime_mkdir 1 -hls_segment_filename '%Y%m%d/file-%Y%m%d-%s.ts' out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
This example will create a directory 201560215 (if it does not exist), and then
|
|
produce the playlist, @file{out.m3u8}, and segment files:
|
|
@file{201560215/file-20160215-1455569023.ts}, @file{201560215/file-20160215-1455569024.ts}, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item hls_key_info_file @var{key_info_file}
|
|
Use the information in @var{key_info_file} for segment encryption. The first
|
|
line of @var{key_info_file} specifies the key URI written to the playlist. The
|
|
key URL is used to access the encryption key during playback. The second line
|
|
specifies the path to the key file used to obtain the key during the encryption
|
|
process. The key file is read as a single packed array of 16 octets in binary
|
|
format. The optional third line specifies the initialization vector (IV) as a
|
|
hexadecimal string to be used instead of the segment sequence number (default)
|
|
for encryption. Changes to @var{key_info_file} will result in segment
|
|
encryption with the new key/IV and an entry in the playlist for the new key
|
|
URI/IV.
|
|
|
|
Key info file format:
|
|
@example
|
|
@var{key URI}
|
|
@var{key file path}
|
|
@var{IV} (optional)
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Example key URIs:
|
|
@example
|
|
http://server/file.key
|
|
/path/to/file.key
|
|
file.key
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Example key file paths:
|
|
@example
|
|
file.key
|
|
/path/to/file.key
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Example IV:
|
|
@example
|
|
0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Key info file example:
|
|
@example
|
|
http://server/file.key
|
|
/path/to/file.key
|
|
0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Example shell script:
|
|
@example
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
BASE_URL=$@{1:-'.'@}
|
|
openssl rand 16 > file.key
|
|
echo $BASE_URL/file.key > file.keyinfo
|
|
echo file.key >> file.keyinfo
|
|
echo $(openssl rand -hex 16) >> file.keyinfo
|
|
ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i testsrc -c:v h264 -hls_flags delete_segments \
|
|
-hls_key_info_file file.keyinfo out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item hls_flags single_file
|
|
If this flag is set, the muxer will store all segments in a single MPEG-TS
|
|
file, and will use byte ranges in the playlist. HLS playlists generated with
|
|
this way will have the version number 4.
|
|
For example:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i in.nut -hls_flags single_file out.m3u8
|
|
@end example
|
|
Will produce the playlist, @file{out.m3u8}, and a single segment file,
|
|
@file{out.ts}.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_flags delete_segments
|
|
Segment files removed from the playlist are deleted after a period of time
|
|
equal to the duration of the segment plus the duration of the playlist.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_playlist_type event
|
|
Emit @code{#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT} in the m3u8 header. Forces
|
|
@option{hls_list_size} to 0; the playlist can only be appended to.
|
|
|
|
@item hls_playlist_type vod
|
|
Emit @code{#EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD} in the m3u8 header. Forces

|
|
Image file muxer.
|
|
|
|
The image file muxer writes video frames to image files.
|
|
|
|
The output filenames are specified by a pattern, which can be used to
|
|
produce sequentially numbered series of files.
|
|
The pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", this string
|
|
specifies the position of the characters representing a numbering in
|
|
the filenames. If the form "%0@var{N}d" is used, the string
|
|
representing the number in each filename is 0-padded to @var{N}
|
|
digits. The literal character '%' can be specified in the pattern with
|
|
the string "%%".
|
|
|
|
If the pattern contains "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", the first filename of
|
|
the file list specified will contain the number 1, all the following
|
|
numbers will be sequential.
|
|
|
|
The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
|
|
determine the format of the image files to write.
|
|
|
|
For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will specify a sequence of
|
|
filenames of the form @file{img-001.bmp}, @file{img-002.bmp}, ...,
|
|
@file{img-010.bmp}, etc.
|
|
The pattern "img%%-%d.jpg" will specify a sequence of filenames of the
|
|
form @file{img%-1.jpg}, @file{img%-2.jpg}, ..., @file{img%-10.jpg},
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to use @command{ffmpeg} for creating a
|
|
sequence of files @file{img-001.jpeg}, @file{img-002.jpeg}, ...,
|
|
taking one image every second from the input video:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vsync 1 -r 1 -f image2 'img-%03d.jpeg'
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Note that with @command{ffmpeg}, if the format is not specified with the
|
|
@code{-f} option and the output filename specifies an image file
|
|
format, the image2 muxer is automatically selected, so the previous
|
|
command can be written as:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vsync 1 -r 1 'img-%03d.jpeg'
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Note also that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
|
|
"%0@var{N}d", for example to create a single image file
|
|
@file{img.jpeg} from the input video you can employ the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i in.avi -f image2 -frames:v 1 img.jpeg
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
The @option{strftime} option allows you to expand the filename with
|
|
date and time information. Check the documentation of
|
|
the @code{strftime()} function for the syntax.
|
|
|
|
For example to generate image files from the @code{strftime()}
|
|
"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" pattern, the following @command{ffmpeg} command
|
|
can be used:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -r 1 -i /dev/video0 -f image2 -strftime 1 "%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.jpg"
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item start_number
|
|
Start the sequence from the specified number. Default value is 0.
|
|
|
|
@item update
|
|
If set to 1, the filename will always be interpreted as just a
|
|
filename, not a pattern, and the corresponding file will be continuously
|
|
overwritten with new images. Default value is 0.
|
|
|
|
@item strftime
|
|
If set to 1, expand the filename with date and time information from
|
|
@code{strftime()}. Default value is 0.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
The image muxer supports the .Y.U.V image file format. This format is
|
|
special in that that each image frame consists of three files, for
|
|
each of the YUV420P components. To read or write this image file format,
|
|
specify the name of the '.Y' file. The muxer will automatically open the
|
|
'.U' and '.V' files as required.

@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
This muxer supports the following options:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item reserve_index_space
|
|
By default, this muxer writes the index for seeking (called cues in Matroska
|
|
terms) at the end of the file, because it cannot know in advance how much space
|
|
to leave for the index at the beginning of the file. However for some use cases
|
|
-- e.g. streaming where seeking is possible but slow -- it is useful to put the
|
|
index at the beginning of the file.
|
|
|
|
If this option is set to a non-zero value, the muxer will reserve a given amount
|
|
of space in the file header and then try to write the cues there when the muxing
|
|
finishes. If the available space does not suffice, muxing will fail. A safe size
|
|
for most use cases should be about 50kB per hour of video.
|
|
|
|
Note that cues are only written if the output is seekable and this option will
|
|
have no effect if it is not.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@anchor{md5}
|
|
@section md5
|
|
|
|
MD5 testing format.
|
|
|
|
This is a variant of the @ref{hash} muxer. Unlike that muxer, it
|
|
defaults to using the MD5 hash function.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
To compute the MD5 hash of the input converted to raw
|
|
audio and video, and store it in the file @file{out.md5}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f md5 out.md5
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
You can print the MD5 to stdout with the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f md5 -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{hash} and @ref{framemd5} muxers.
|
|
|
|
@section mov, mp4, ismv
|
|
|
|
MOV/MP4/ISMV (Smooth Streaming) muxer.
|
|
|
|
The mov/mp4/ismv muxer supports fragmentation. Normally, a MOV/MP4
|
|
file has all the metadata about all packets stored in one location
|
|
(written at the end of the file, it can be moved to the start for
|
|
better playback by adding @var{faststart} to the @var{movflags}, or
|
|
using the @command{qt-faststart} tool). A fragmented
|
|
file consists of a number of fragments, where packets and metadata
|
|
about these packets are stored together. Writing a fragmented
|
|
file has the advantage that the file is decodable even if the
|
|
writing is interrupted (while a normal MOV/MP4 is undecodable if
|
|
it is not properly finished), and it requires less memory when writing
|
|
very long files (since writing normal MOV/MP4 files stores info about
|
|
every single packet in memory until the file is closed). The downside
|
|
is that it is less compatible with other applications.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
Fragmentation is enabled by setting one of the AVOptions that define
|
|
how to cut the file into fragments:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -moov_size @var{bytes}
|
|
Reserves space for the moov atom at the beginning of the file instead of placing the
|
|
moov atom at the end. If the space reserved is insufficient, muxing will fail.
|
|
@item -movflags frag_keyframe
|
|
Start a new fragment at each video keyframe.
|
|
@item -frag_duration @var{duration}
|
|
Create fragments that are @var{duration} microseconds long.
|
|
@item -frag_size @var{size}
|
|
Create fragments that contain up to @var{size} bytes of payload data.
|
|
@item -movflags frag_custom
|
|
Allow the caller to manually choose when to cut fragments, by
|
|
calling @code{av_write_frame(ctx, NULL)} to write a fragment with
|
|
the packets written so far. (This is only useful with other
|
|
applications integrating libavformat, not from @command{ffmpeg}.)
|
|
@item -min_frag_duration @var{duration}
|
|
Don't create fragments that are shorter than @var{duration} microseconds long.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
If more than one condition is specified, fragments are cut when
|
|
one of the specified conditions is fulfilled. The exception to this is
|
|
@code{-min_frag_duration}, which has to be fulfilled for any of the other
|
|
conditions to apply.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the way the output file is written can be adjusted
|
|
through a few other options:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -movflags empty_moov
|
|
Write an initial moov atom directly at the start of the file, without
|
|
describing any samples in it. Generally, an mdat/moov pair is written
|
|
at the start of the file, as a normal MOV/MP4 file, containing only
|
|
a short portion of the file. With this option set, there is no initial
|
|
mdat atom, and the moov atom only describes the tracks but has
|
|
a zero duration.
|
|
|
|
This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.
|
|
@item -movflags separate_moof
|
|
Write a separate moof (movie fragment) atom for each track. Normally,
|
|
packets for all tracks are written in a moof atom (which is slightly
|
|
more efficient), but with this option set, the muxer writes one moof/mdat
|
|
pair for each track, making it easier to separate tracks.
|
|
|
|
This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.
|
|
@item -movflags faststart
|
|
Run a second pass moving the index (moov atom) to the beginning of the file.
|
|
This operation can take a while, and will not work in various situations such
|
|
as fragmented output, thus it is not enabled by default.
|
|
@item -movflags rtphint
|
|
Add RTP hinting tracks to the output file.
|
|
@item -movflags disable_chpl
|
|
Disable Nero chapter markers (chpl atom). Normally, both Nero chapters
|
|
and a QuickTime chapter track are written to the file. With this option
|
|
set, only the QuickTime chapter track will be written. Nero chapters can
|
|
cause failures when the file is reprocessed with certain tagging programs, like
|
|
mp3Tag 2.61a and iTunes 11.3, most likely other versions are affected as well.
|
|
@item -movflags omit_tfhd_offset
|
|
Do not write any absolute base_data_offset in tfhd atoms. This avoids
|
|
tying fragments to absolute byte positions in the file/streams.
|
|
@item -movflags default_base_moof
|
|
Similarly to the omit_tfhd_offset, this flag avoids writing the
|
|
absolute base_data_offset field in tfhd atoms, but does so by using
|
|
the new default-base-is-moof flag instead. This flag is new from
|
|
14496-12:2012. This may make the fragments easier to parse in certain
|
|
circumstances (avoiding basing track fragment location calculations
|
|
on the implicit end of the previous track fragment).
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Example
|
|
|
|
Smooth Streaming content can be pushed in real time to a publishing
|
|
point on IIS with this muxer. Example:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -re @var{<normal input/transcoding options>} -movflags isml+frag_keyframe -f ismv http://server/publishingpoint.isml/Streams(Encoder1)
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@subsection Audible AAX
|
|
|
|
Audible AAX files are encrypted M4B files, and they can be decrypted by specifying a 4 byte activation secret.
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -activation_bytes 1CEB00DA -i test.aax -vn -c:a copy output.mp4
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@section mp3
|
|
|
|
The MP3 muxer writes a raw MP3 stream with the following optional features:
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
An ID3v2 metadata header at the beginning (enabled by default). Versions 2.3 and
|
|
2.4 are supported, the @code{id3v2_version} private option controls which one is
|
|
used (3 or 4). Setting @code{id3v2_version} to 0 disables the ID3v2 header
|
|
completely.
|
|
|
|
The muxer supports writing attached pictures (APIC frames) to the ID3v2 header.
|
|
The pictures are supplied to the muxer in form of a video stream with a single
|
|
packet. There can be any number of those streams, each will correspond to a
|
|
single APIC frame. The stream metadata tags @var{title} and @var{comment} map
|
|
to APIC @var{description} and @var{picture type} respectively. See
|
|
@url{http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames} for allowed picture types.
|
|
|
|
Note that the APIC frames must be written at the beginning, so the muxer will
|
|
buffer the audio frames until it gets all the pictures. It is therefore advised
|
|
to provide the pictures as soon as possible to avoid excessive buffering.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
A Xing/LAME frame right after the ID3v2 header (if present). It is enabled by
|
|
default, but will be written only if the output is seekable. The
|
|
@code{write_xing} private option can be used to disable it. The frame contains
|
|
various information that may be useful to the decoder, like the audio duration
|
|
or encoder delay.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
A legacy ID3v1 tag at the end of the file (disabled by default). It may be
|
|
enabled with the @code{write_id3v1} private option, but as its capabilities are
|
|
very limited, its usage is not recommended.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
Write an mp3 with an ID3v2.3 header and an ID3v1 footer:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 out.mp3
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
To attach a picture to an mp3 file select both the audio and the picture stream
|
|
with @code{map}:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -i cover.png -c copy -map 0 -map 1
|
|
-metadata:s:v title="Album cover" -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" out.mp3
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Write a "clean" MP3 without any extra features:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i input.wav -write_xing 0 -id3v2_version 0 out.mp3
|
|
@end example

@section mxf, mxf_d10
|
|
|
|
MXF muxer.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
The muxer options are:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item store_user_comments @var{bool}
|
|
Set if user comments should be stored if available or never.
|
|
IRT D-10 does not allow user comments. The default is thus to write them for
|
|
mxf but not for mxf_d10
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@section null
|
|
|
|
Null muxer.
|
|
|
|
This muxer does not generate any output file, it is mainly useful for
|
|
testing or benchmarking purposes.
|
|
|
|
For example to benchmark decoding with @command{ffmpeg} you can use the
|
|
command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -benchmark -i INPUT -f null out.null
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Note that the above command does not read or write the @file{out.null}
|
|
file, but specifying the output file is required by the @command{ffmpeg}
|
|
syntax.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can write the command as:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -benchmark -i INPUT -f null -
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@section nut
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -syncpoints @var{flags}
|
|
Change the syncpoint usage in nut:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item @var{default} use the normal low-overhead seeking aids.
|
|
@item @var{none} do not use the syncpoints at all, reducing the overhead but making the stream non-seekable;
|
|
Use of this option is not recommended, as the resulting files are very damage
|
|
sensitive and seeking is not possible. Also in general the overhead from
|
|
syncpoints is negligible. Note, -@code{write_index} 0 can be used to disable
|
|
all growing data tables, allowing to mux endless streams with limited memory
|
|
and without these disadvantages.
|
|
@item @var{timestamped} extend the syncpoint with a wallclock field.
|
|
@end table
|
|
The @var{none} and @var{timestamped} flags are experimental.
|
|
@item -write_index @var{bool}
|
|
Write index at the end, the default is to write an index.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i INPUT -f_strict experimental -syncpoints none - | processor
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@section ogg
|
|
|
|
Ogg container muxer.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -page_duration @var{duration}
|
|
Preferred page duration, in microseconds. The muxer will attempt to create
|
|
pages that are approximately @var{duration} microseconds long. This allows the
|
|
user to compromise between seek granularity and container overhead. The default
|
|
is 1 second. A value of 0 will fill all segments, making pages as large as
|
|
possible. A value of 1 will effectively use 1 packet-per-page in most
|
|
situations, giving a small seek granularity at the cost of additional container
|
|
overhead.
|
|
@item -serial_offset @var{value}
|
|
Serial value from which to set the streams serial number.
|
|
Setting it to different and sufficiently large values ensures that the produced
|
|
ogg files can be safely chained.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@anchor{segment}
|
|
@section segment, stream_segment, ssegment
|
|
|
|
Basic stream segmenter.
|
|
|
|
This muxer outputs streams to a number of separate files of nearly
|
|
fixed duration. Output filename pattern can be set in a fashion
|
|
similar to @ref{image2}, or by using a @code{strftime} template if
|
|
the @option{strftime} option is enabled.
|
|
|
|
@code{stream_segment} is a variant of the muxer used to write to
|
|
streaming output formats, i.e. which do not require global headers,
|
|
and is recommended for outputting e.g. to MPEG transport stream segments.
|
|
@code{ssegment} is a shorter alias for @code{stream_segment}.
|
|
|
|
Every segment starts with a keyframe of the selected reference stream,
|
|
which is set through the @option{reference_stream} option.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you want accurate splitting for a video file, you need to
|
|
make the input key frames correspond to the exact splitting times
|
|
expected by the segmenter, or the segment muxer will start the new
|
|
segment with the key frame found next after the specified start
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
The segment muxer works best with a single constant frame rate video.
|
|
|
|
Optionally it can generate a list of the created segments, by setting
|
|
the option @var{segment_list}. The list type is specified by the
|
|
@var{segment_list_type} option. The entry filenames in the segment
|
|
list are set by default to the basename of the corresponding segment
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
See also the @ref{hls} muxer, which provides a more specific
|
|
implementation for HLS segmentation.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
The segment muxer supports the following options:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item increment_tc @var{1|0}
|
|
if set to @code{1}, increment timecode between each segment
|
|
If this is selected, the input need to have
|
|
a timecode in the first video stream. Default value is
|
|
@code{0}.
|
|
|
|
@item reference_stream @var{specifier}
|
|
Set the reference stream, as specified by the string @var{specifier}.
|
|
If @var{specifier} is set to @code{auto}, the reference is chosen
|
|
automatically. Otherwise it must be a stream specifier (see the ``Stream
|
|
specifiers'' chapter in the ffmpeg manual) which specifies the
|
|
reference stream. The default value is @code{auto}.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_format @var{format}
|
|
Override the inner container format, by default it is guessed by the filename
|
|
extension.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_format_options @var{options_list}
|
|
Set output format options using a :-separated list of key=value
|
|
parameters. Values containing the @code{:} special character must be
|
|
escaped.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_list @var{name}
|
|
Generate also a listfile named @var{name}. If not specified no
|
|
listfile is generated.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_list_flags @var{flags}
|
|
Set flags affecting the segment list generation.
|
|
|
|
It currently supports the following flags:
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item cache
|
|
Allow caching (only affects M3U8 list files).
|
|
|
|
@item live
|
|
Allow live-friendly file generation.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@item segment_list_size @var{size}
|
|
Update the list file so that it contains at most @var{size}
|
|
segments. If 0 the list file will contain all the segments. Default
|
|
value is 0.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_list_entry_prefix @var{prefix}
|
|
Prepend @var{prefix} to each entry. Useful to generate absolute paths.
|
|
By default no prefix is applied.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_list_type @var{type}
|
|
Select the listing format.
|
|
|
|
The following values are recognized:
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item flat
|
|
Generate a flat list for the created segments, one segment per line.
|
|
|
|
@item csv, ext
|
|
Generate a list for the created segments, one segment per line,
|
|
each line matching the format (comma-separated values):
|
|
@example
|
|
@var{segment_filename},@var{segment_start_time},@var{segment_end_time}
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@var{segment_filename} is the name of the output file generated by the
|
|
muxer according to the provided pattern. CSV escaping (according to
|
|
RFC4180) is applied if required.
|
|
|
|
@var{segment_start_time} and @var{segment_end_time} specify
|
|
the segment start and end time expressed in seconds.
|
|
|
|
A list file with the suffix @code{".csv"} or @code{".ext"} will
|
|
auto-select this format.
|
|
|
|
@samp{ext} is deprecated in favor or @samp{csv}.
|
|
|
|
@item ffconcat
|
|
Generate an ffconcat file for the created segments. The resulting file
|
|
can be read using the FFmpeg @ref{concat} demuxer.
|
|
|
|
A list file with the suffix @code{".ffcat"} or @code{".ffconcat"} will
|
|
auto-select this format.
|
|
|
|
@item m3u8
|
|
Generate an extended M3U8 file, version 3, compliant with
|
|
@url{http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming}.
|
|
|
|
A list file with the suffix @code{".m3u8"} will auto-select this format.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
If not specified the type is guessed from the list file name suffix.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_time @var{time}
|
|
Set segment duration to @var{time}, the value must be a duration
|
|
specification. Default value is "2". See also the
|
|
@option{segment_times} option.
|
|
|
|
Note that splitting may not be accurate, unless you force the
|
|
reference stream key-frames at the given time. See the introductory
|
|
notice and the examples below.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_atclocktime @var{1|0}
|
|
If set to "1" split at regular clock time intervals starting from 00:00
|
|
o'clock. The @var{time} value specified in @option{segment_time} is
|
|
used for setting the length of the splitting interval.
|
|
|
|
For example with @option{segment_time} set to "900" this makes it possible
|
|
to create files at 12:00 o'clock, 12:15, 12:30, etc.
|
|
|
|
Default value is "0".
|
|
|
|
@item segment_clocktime_offset @var{duration}
|
|
Delay the segment splitting times with the specified duration when using
|
|
@option{segment_atclocktime}.
|
|
|
|
For example with @option{segment_time} set to "900" and
|
|
@option{segment_clocktime_offset} set to "300" this makes it possible to
|
|
create files at 12:05, 12:20, 12:35, etc.
|
|
|
|
Default value is "0".
|
|
|
|
@item segment_clocktime_wrap_duration @var{duration}
|
|
Force the segmenter to only start a new segment if a packet reaches the muxer
|
|
within the specified duration after the segmenting clock time. This way you
|
|
can make the segmenter more resilient to backward local time jumps, such as
|
|
leap seconds or transition to standard time from daylight savings time.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that the delay between the packets of your source is less than 0.5
|
|
second you can detect a leap second by specifying 0.5 as the duration.
|
|
|
|
Default is the maximum possible duration which means starting a new segment
|
|
regardless of the elapsed time since the last clock time.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_time_delta @var{delta}
|
|
Specify the accuracy time when selecting the start time for a
|
|
segment, expressed as a duration specification. Default value is "0".
|
|
|
|
When delta is specified a key-frame will start a new segment if its
|
|
PTS satisfies the relation:
|
|
@example
|
|
PTS >= start_time - time_delta
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
This option is useful when splitting video content, which is always
|
|
split at GOP boundaries, in case a key frame is found just before the
|
|
specified split time.
|
|
|
|
In particular may be used in combination with the @file{ffmpeg} option
|
|
@var{force_key_frames}. The key frame times specified by
|
|
@var{force_key_frames} may not be set accurately because of rounding
|
|
issues, with the consequence that a key frame time may result set just
|
|
before the specified time. For constant frame rate videos a value of
|
|
1/(2*@var{frame_rate}) should address the worst case mismatch between
|
|
the specified time and the time set by @var{force_key_frames}.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_times @var{times}
|
|
Specify a list of split points. @var{times} contains a list of comma
|
|
separated duration specifications, in increasing order. See also
|
|
the @option{segment_time} option.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_frames @var{frames}
|
|
Specify a list of split video frame numbers. @var{frames} contains a
|
|
list of comma separated integer numbers, in increasing order.
|
|
|
|
This option specifies to start a new segment whenever a reference
|
|
stream key frame is found and the sequential number (starting from 0)
|
|
of the frame is greater or equal to the next value in the list.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_wrap @var{limit}
|
|
Wrap around segment index once it reaches @var{limit}.
|
|
|
|
@item segment_start_number @var{number}
|
|
Set the sequence number of the first segment. Defaults to @code{0}.
|
|
|
|
@item strftime @var{1|0}
|
|
Use the @code{strftime} function to define the name of the new
|
|
segments to write. If this is selected, the output segment name must
|
|
contain a @code{strftime} function template. Default value is
|
|
@code{0}.
|
|
|
|
@item break_non_keyframes @var{1|0}
|
|
If enabled, allow segments to start on frames other than keyframes. This
|
|
improves behavior on some players when the time between keyframes is
|
|
inconsistent, but may make things worse on others, and can cause some oddities
|
|
during seeking. Defaults to @code{0}.
|
|
|
|
@item reset_timestamps @var{1|0}
|
|
Reset timestamps at the begin of each segment, so that each segment
|
|
will start with near-zero timestamps. It is meant to ease the playback
|
|
of the generated segments. May not work with some combinations of
|
|
muxers/codecs. It is set to @code{0} by default.
|
|
|
|
@item initial_offset @var{offset}
|
|
Specify timestamp offset to apply to the output packet timestamps. The
|
|
argument must be a time duration specification, and defaults to 0.
|
|
|
|
@item write_empty_segments @var{1|0}
|
|
If enabled, write an empty segment if there are no packets during the period a
|
|
segment would usually span. Otherwise, the segment will be filled with the next
|
|
packet written. Defaults to @code{0}.

Smooth Streaming muxer generates a set of files (Manifest, chunks) suitable for serving with conventional web server.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item window_size
|
|
Specify the number of fragments kept in the manifest. Default 0 (keep all).

@item lookahead_count
|
|
Specify the number of lookahead fragments. Default 2.
|

@item min_frag_duration
|
|
Specify the minimum fragment duration (in microseconds). Default 5000000.
|
|
|

Specify whether to remove all fragments when finished. Default 0 (do not remove).
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@section tee
|
|
|
|
The tee muxer can be used to write the same data to several files or any
|
|
other kind of muxer. It can be used, for example, to both stream a video to
|
|
the network and save it to disk at the same time.
|
|
|
|
It is different from specifying several outputs to the @command{ffmpeg}
|
|
command-line tool because the audio and video data will be encoded only once
|
|
with the tee muxer; encoding can be a very expensive process. It is not
|
|
useful when using the libavformat API directly because it is then possible
|
|
to feed the same packets to several muxers directly.
|
|
|
|
The slave outputs are specified in the file name given to the muxer,
|
|
separated by '|'. If any of the slave name contains the '|' separator,
|
|
leading or trailing spaces or any special character, it must be
|
|
escaped (see @ref{quoting_and_escaping,,the "Quoting and escaping"
|
|
section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}).
|
|
|
|
Muxer options can be specified for each slave by prepending them as a list of
|
|
@var{key}=@var{value} pairs separated by ':', between square brackets. If
|
|
the options values contain a special character or the ':' separator, they
|
|
must be escaped; note that this is a second level escaping.
|
|
|
|
The following special options are also recognized:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item f
|
|
Specify the format name. Useful if it cannot be guessed from the
|
|
output name suffix.
|
|
|
|
@item bsfs[/@var{spec}]
|
|
Specify a list of bitstream filters to apply to the specified
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to specify to which streams a given bitstream filter
|
|
applies, by appending a stream specifier to the option separated by
|
|
@code{/}. @var{spec} must be a stream specifier (see @ref{Format
|
|
stream specifiers}). If the stream specifier is not specified, the
|
|
bitstream filters will be applied to all streams in the output.
|
|
|
|
Several bitstream filters can be specified, separated by ",".
|
|
|
|
@item select
|
|
Select the streams that should be mapped to the slave output,
|
|
specified by a stream specifier. If not specified, this defaults to
|
|
all the input streams. You may use multiple stream specifiers
|
|
separated by commas (@code{,}) e.g.: @code{a:0,v}

|
Use @command{ffmpeg} to encode the input, and send the output
|
|
to three different destinations. The @code{dump_extra} bitstream
|
|
filter is used to add extradata information to all the output video
|
|
keyframes packets, as requested by the MPEG-TS format. The select
|
|
option is applied to @file{out.aac} in order to make it contain only
|
|
audio packets.
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i ... -map 0 -flags +global_header -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental
|
|
-f tee "[bsfs/v=dump_extra]out.ts|[movflags=+faststart]out.mp4|[select=a]out.aac"
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
As below, but select only stream @code{a:1} for the audio output. Note
|
|
that a second level escaping must be performed, as ":" is a special
|
|
character used to separate options.
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i ... -map 0 -flags +global_header -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental
|
|
-f tee "[bsfs/v=dump_extra]out.ts|[movflags=+faststart]out.mp4|[select=\'a:1\']out.aac"

Note: some codecs may need different options depending on the output format;
|
|
the auto-detection of this can not work with the tee muxer. The main example
|
|
is the @option{global_header} flag.
