Thanks for the advice everyone. I was wrong about the RAID speeds, it does seem like disk write is the bottleneck in this case. > Why do you need 48 bit output? You do realize that the scaler cannot > "invent" higher precision? To explain better: My goal was to create an image sequence that I can use as an input in another program. I don’t actually want a bunch of red frames, that was just an intermediate test. What I really want is movement, something like mandelbrot or another fancy filter. Now testing with null output, I get 3.6fps using mandelbrot. Is there any faster way to do something like this? Assuming I get much faster storage, I was hoping to get at least 100fps. ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i mandelbrot=s=3840x2160 -t 10 -pix_fmt rgb48le -f null - ffmpeg version N-90610-g2accdd3871 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 7.3.0 (GCC) configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-sdl2 --enable-bzlib --enable-fontconfig --enable-gnutls --enable-iconv --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopus --enable-libshine --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsoxr --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvpx --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxml2 --enable-libzimg --enable-lzma --enable-zlib --enable-gmp --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvo-amrwbenc --enable-libmysofa --enable-libspeex --enable-libxvid --enable-libaom --enable-libmfx --enable-amf --enable-ffnvcodec --enable-cuvid --enable-d3d11va --enable-nvenc --enable-nvdec --enable-dxva2 --enable-avisynth libavutil 56. 13.100 / 56. 13.100 libavcodec 58. 17.100 / 58. 17.100 libavformat 58. 10.100 / 58. 10.100 libavdevice 58. 2.100 / 58. 2.100 libavfilter 7. 14.100 / 7. 14.100 libswscale 5. 0.102 / 5. 0.102 libswresample 3. 0.101 / 3. 0.101 libpostproc 55. 0.100 / 55. 0.100 Input #0, lavfi, from 'mandelbrot=s=3840x2160': Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: rawvideo (RGB[0] / 0x424752), rgb0, 3840x2160 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (rawvideo (native) -> wrapped_avframe (native)) Press [q] to stop, [?] for help Output #0, null, to 'pipe:': Metadata: encoder : Lavf58.10.100 Stream #0:0: Video: wrapped_avframe, rgb48le, 3840x2160 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbn, 25 tbc Metadata: encoder : Lavc58.17.100 wrapped_avframe frame= 54 fps=3.5 q=-0.0 Lsize=N/A time=00:00:02.16 bitrate=N/A speed=0.14x video:28kB audio:0kB subtitle:0kB other streams:0kB global headers:0kB muxing overhead: unknown Exiting normally, received signal 2. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
