Domanda

i am trying to convert some different video formats to flv using ffmpeg. But it seems that only some videos go through.

ffmpeg -i /var/www/tmp/91640.avi -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /var/www/videos/91640.flv

here is some debug info:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 23.98 (65535/2733) -> 23.98 (5000000/208541)
Input #0, avi, from '/var/www/tmp/91640.avi':
  Duration: 00:01:12.82, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 5022 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 1280x528 [PAR 1:1 DAR 80:33], 23.98 tbr, 23.98 tbn, 23.98 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 448 kb/s
WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not kbits/s
Output #0, flv, to '/var/www/videos/91640.flv':
    Stream #0.0: Video: flv, yuv420p, 1280x528 [PAR 1:1 DAR 80:33], q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 90k tbn, 23.98 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: adpcm_swf, 22050 Hz, 5.1, s16, 0 kb/s
Stream mapping:
  Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
  Stream #0.1 -> #0.1
Error while opening codec for output stream #0.1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

also, if i try to grab one frame ad convert it to jpeg i get an error as well

ffmpeg -i /var/www/tmp/91640.avi -an -ss 00:00:03 -t 00:00:01 -r 1 -y /var/www/videos/91640.jpg

debug info 

...
[mpeg4 @ 0x1d7d810]Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected
av_interleaved_write_frame(): I/O error occurred
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

im thinking that the image fails because the video conversion failed in the first place, not sure though

any ideas what goes wrong?

Soluzione

Bits, not kbits

From your console output:

WARNING: The bitrate parameter is set too low. It takes bits/s as argument, not kbits/s

Use 32k, not just 32.

Only stereo or mono is supported

The encoder adpcm_swf ony supports mono or stereo, so add -ac 2 as an output option. The console output would have suggested this if you were using a recent ffmpeg build.

Use -vframes 1 for single image outputs

Instead of -t 00:00:01 -r 1 use -vframes 1.

A better encoder

Instead of using the encoders flv and adpcm_swf, I recommend libx264 and libmp3lame:

ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -q:a 5 output.flv

  • -preset – Controls the encoding speed to compression ratio. Use the slowest preset you have patience for: ultrafast,superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow.

  • -crf – Constant Rate Factor. A lower value is a higher quality. Range is 0-51 for this encoder. 0 is lossless, 18 is roughly "visually lossless", 23 is default, and 51 is worst quality. Use the highest value that still gives an acceptable quality.

  • -q:a – Audio quality for libmp3lame. Range is 0-9 for this encoder. A lower value is a higher quality.
