Carl Eugen,

Confirmed. The above suggestion does fix the symptoms.

Did you base your suggestion on:

"Error while decoding stream #0:1: Invalid data found when processing input" ?

Are you saying that taking the original file size as size requirement
is the whole issue ?
If I follow the guide again and do the computation as described, the
bitrate value is just very slightly different:

>>> 690*8192./(3600+6*60+2) - 128
1298.673397274104

Assuming my mp3 audio did not have any particular problem, would there
be an actual difference in between using -b:v 1298k vs -b:v 1321894 ?

Hardware acceleration (which is typically provided by third-party

About 4.6 hours!

The software that I am using to enhance videos will output to jpeg, I'm

[FFmpeg-user] Using GPU with ffmpeg

2020-11-29 Thread madderek--- via ffmpeg-user
Hi

 

I'm using ffmpeg to combine a large number of TIFF files into a single
video.

 

The TIFFs are the result of upscaling videos.  They are large in number,
typically 2 or 3.

 

The process is slow.

 

Is there a simple way of using the GPU ram?  I have a NVIDIA 2080 TI with
11GBof RAM.

This cannot work (and this is not related to the fact that you are not
using a version of FFmpeg that we support here).

In some cases - if you are lucky - there is a crash and no output file
is written, in other cases, a "broken" output file is written, broken in
the sense that two-pass encoding did not work the way it is supposed
to (more bitrate was given to frames that do not need it).

Do not use -an on the first pass and add "-vsync cfr" to the first pass.
(Other workarounds are possible.)

For future questions: Do not cut FFmpeg's console output, only
post ffprobe output if you see an issue with it.

Not really related:
> Does it make sense to simply copy/paste the existing bit_rate to

No, to the best of my knowledge, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Very generally you either want a specific output quality, in this
case specifying a bitrate and two-pass encoding make no
sense.
Or you have a particular size requirement for the output file,
then bitrate and two-pass encoding make sense.

I may not be fully comprehending the behaviour of the software in this case, 
but if your diagram is accurate that would make sense. Certainly it would 
reflect the meaning of the terms "dry" and "wet" as they're commonly used in 
audio processing. Using those terms in another way is confusing.

I think the asubboost block diagram does now look like this (view with 
fixed width font):

The name "feedback" is misleading because this signal isn't going back.
It would make sense to rename "feedback" to "wet".
What's now "wet" could be renamed "gain", or it could be removed because 
it's unnecessary.

[FFmpeg-user] 2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass (99021)2kbits/s dup=27 drop=0 speed=4.76x

2020-11-29 Thread Mathieu Malaterre
Hi there,

I am staring at the following guide to re-encode an existing avi
(mpeg4+mp3) into MP4 (h264+aac):

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264#twopass

My video is such that:

$ ffprobe -show_streams -show_format -print_format json -i input.avi
[...]
Input #0, avi, from 'input.avi':
  Duration: 01:06:01.97, start: 0.00, bitrate: 1459 kb/s

1321 kb/s, 24.99 fps, 25 tbr, 24.99 tbn, 30k tbc
Stream #0:1: Audio: mp3 (U[0][0][0] / 0x0055), 44100 Hz, stereo,
fltp, 127 kb/s
"streams": [
{
"index": 0,
"codec_name": "mpeg4",
"bit_rate": "1321894",
...
"index": 1,
"codec_name": "mp3",
"bit_rate": "127704",
...
"format": {
"format_name": "avi",
"bit_rate": "1459407",

Does it make sense to simply copy/paste the existing bit_rate to
re-encode it ? Or did I miss something from the guide (I find it hard
to make sense of the error message given) ?

In my case, the following command:

$ ffmpeg -y -i input.avi -c:v libx264 -b:v 1321894 -pass 1 -an -f null
/dev/null && \
ffmpeg -y -i input.avi -c:v libx264 -b:v 1321894 -pass 2 -c:a aac -b:a
128k fixed.mp4

gives:

Please remove setpts and vsync from your command line, both are
meant to destroy audio sync.

You cannot get the result you want with mp4 output because FFmpeg
does not like vfr mov output (and if you remove frames, you get vfr
output).
(There is no relevant difference between mov and mp4.)

[FFmpeg-user] Issue with disposition "forced" for a subtitles stream (mov_tex) in a mp4 container

2020-11-29 Thread Andrea Giudiceandrea via ffmpeg-user

Dear all,
I'm using ffmpeg (4.3.1-2020-11-19-full_build-www.gyan.dev) on Windows 7 
to mux video, audio and subtitles streams in a mp4 container. I'd like 
to force the subtitles stream to be displayed by default, so I use the 
"-disposition:s:0 forced" option.
However ffmpeg fails to properly set the "disposition" option for the 
subtitles stream to "forced" so I need to manually enable the subtitle 
when the video is played by VLC media player 3.0.11.


The exact command is:
ffmpeg -i Video.mp4 -i Audio.mp4 -i Sub.vtt -map 0 -map 1 -map 2 
-metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn -metadata:s:s:0 language=ita -c:v copy -c:a 
copy -c:s mov_text -disposition:a:0 default -disposition:s:0 forced 
Video_Audio_Sub.mp4


The relevant part of the command output for the subtitle stream is:

    Stream #0:2(ita): Subtitle: mov_text (tx3g / 0x67337874) (forced)

While the subtitles stream is tagged as "(forced)", in the resulting 
muxed video the subtitle stream is only tagged as "default" as reported 
by ffprobe and mediainfo and is not automatically displayed in VLC:


ffprobe Video_Audio_Sub.mp4
[...]
    Stream #0:2(ita): Subtitle: mov_text (tx3g / 0x67337874), 0 kb/s 
(default)


mediainfo Video_Audio_Sub.mp4
[...]
Text
ID   : 3
Format   : Timed Text
Muxing mode  : sbtl
Codec ID : tx3g
Default  : Yes
Forced   : No

Is this a bug or did I miss something?

For comparison, using mp4box -add Video_Audio.mp4 -add 
Sub.srt:txtflags=0xC000 -new Video_Audio_Sub.mp4 the subtitles 
stream is correctly recognized as "forced" by mediainfo (and as 
"default" by ffprobe) and is automatically displayed in VLC:


mediainfo Video_Audio_Sub.mp4
Text
ID   : 3
Format   : Timed Text
Codec ID : tx3g
Forced   : Yes


Thank you in advance for the help.

Regards.
