Converting Videos Howto - FFMPEG


Check out my new Linux channel: bit.ly This video tutorial will explain how to losslessly convert any video file format, including quicktime .mov, flash .flv files, open source .ogv, .mp4, .wmv, .asf and more. I show you how to install ffmpeg, check the formats and codecs available to you, convert a file to a new format (windows media and .asf in this example) without any loss in quality during the decoding and encoding process, and create and run a script file that will enable you to run a batch conversion on any number of files at the same time. Anyone who has tried to convert multimedia files in Windows knows how challenging it can be. There are a ton of different programs out there to do it, but most of them either leave a watermark in your video, lower the resolution of your video, or both, unless you pay hundreds of dollars. ffmpeg can do this for you quickly, conveniently, and completely free - and can even be used in Windows! This video was created for Ubuntu, but will work for most Linux distributions, and the code you learn here to convert a file can be applied to the Windows version as well, though Windows' scripting language is different so you will need to adjust the batch conversion script. For more quick video tips, check out www.linuxhaxor.net, and for all these and lots more fun stuff, take a look at my site http Note: Yes, if you use a lossy codec, there will be loss in transcoding, but the difference is imperceptible with ffmpeg, unlike other programs <b>...</b>

How to install ffmpeg, ffmpeg-PHP, Mplayer, Mencoder in Windows XP, Vista.


This tutorial shows you how to install ffmpeg, ffmpeg-PHP, Mplayer, and Mencoder in Windows. These instructions can be incredibly difficult to find online, but I've assembled a tutorial and a simple download to make installing these as easy as possible. At the time of publishing this, I cannot find how to install LAME MP3 in Windows. If you're creating a video sharing website such as a youtube clone script, then you don't need the LAME encoder. That's only for music. ** UPDATE ** I've received several nasty comments on the downloads mentioned in the video ... this video is over 2 years old and I'm pretty sure they are no longer valid nor do I have them hosted anywhere anymore. Please read the comments by others on where to find them at. Thanks!

Installing ffmpeg on ubuntu from source


This is what I normally do when I install ffmpeg on ubuntu. This video does not contain information on how to install the packages needed to build ffmpeg, but those are essentially just the "build-dep" for ffmpeg, liblame0, libfaad/libfaac, etc. It all depends on what you want to use ffmpeg for. Side note: I actually used ffmpeg to make this screencast having enabled --enable-x11grab while configuring. Update (2008-04-14): I ran into some trouble compiling ffmpeg the other week, and tracked down the problem to be that some of the configure script options had changed names, such as --enable-pp is now --enable-postproc and so on. Just a few changes. Check ./configure --help to see what they are now called. Update (2008-05-10): You might be wondering how to compile ffmpeg/mencoder/mplayer on windows. If you're desperate to actually compile these programs yourself, I should refer you to google.com, because I've never tried that myself. Otherwise, there is already an MPlayer version for Windows on their home page, and you can probably find MEncoder and ffmpeg binary builds for Windows if you consult google.com and search for "ffmpeg windows binaries" or "mencoder" instead of "ffmpeg". Good luck out there, and enjoy free software! And free beer if you ever gain access to any!

ffmpeg Screencast Lag issue Fix!


ffmpeg has been good for the last year or so with screencasts until i started getting video audio out of sync issues... i've never had to change the code snippet until now but this seems to resolve the issue.... I have a split second lag still but that is due to a cheap webcam, not ffmpeg... that is normal.... the ffmpeg issue i had was a NIGHTMARE with out of sync issues.... all good now. yay. So expect more Videos to roll out now!

ffmpeg - Capture Linux Desktop for screen cast (supports jack as well)


Here's an example for all those Linux users, for your consideration on desktop video capture of your desktop using ffmpeg. This is the command I used "ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0 -s 1280x720 -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast screencast_video6.avi" the "-f alsa -i pulse" part is optional and is used for JACK sound system specific support and will allow directing sound from different sources into your video (JACK users will know what that means) but is not necessarily relevant to this test. My screen resolution is 1680x1050, you can replace that with your own specific resolution. I found that uploading 1680x1050 directly and letting Youtube do the conversion caused some blurriness, and if I pre-converted it before upload (that there the -s 1280x720 comes in) it made for better quality results. I switched between desktops showing what I consider common items shown in desktop captured screencasts: a terminal directory listing; a page of somewhat small text; and a HD video played in a browser, for overall quality comparison with the original For comparison purposes, the example HD video I played in my browser while capturing the screen.is located here www.youtube.com As always, your results may vary and you will have to adapt the command to your own configuration and requirements... good luck.

Pulseaudio stream routing with ffmpeg x11grab screen capture


This is an example of using ffmpeg x11grab to perform a screen capture along with audio on a system with Pulseaudio installed and configured properly. I show briefly how to use Pulseaudio tools to route audio. This method is useful when you are trying to grab a video online but you cannot rip it because the URL is obscured by proprietary Flash players or RTMP or other obnoxious methods that prevent you from saving the video. ffmpeg is far superior to my old favorite recordmydesktop. The CPU usage is a fraction, there's no need to mess with JACK, and the audio/video maintains sync indefinitely. In real world tests I've captured online videos up to 2 hours long with absolutely no problems.

ZodiarkDarkja's FFmpeg Tutorial


This is the FFmpeg tutorial for beginners to command-line conversion. Note: In FFmpeg the basic syntax for converting a media file is: -i [input file location] -[any command] [output file location] In FFmpeg, when specifying bitrate values, always keeo in mind that FFmpeg only accepts values in bits/sec values and not kbits/sec values...Thus, an output video specified with the "-b 1000" syntax will not cause the output file to have a bitrate of 1mbps but a very low bitrate and quality.. -More videos pertaining to FFmpeg, Yamb, mp4box and other video conversion techniques are coming in future videos by me..

Calculate Encoding Time with PHP and FFMPEG


This is a Math heavy lesson. You've been warned. We use FFMPEG first to get the duration of the video, parse it with regex, calculate seconds, then use the bitrate equation to calculate bytes. Then using our interval and ajax that repeatedly checks file size, we can pretty accurately tell our users how long a video will take to encode.
