<h1>FFmpegSource2 Documentation</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Opens files using ffmpeg and nothing else. May be frame accurate on good days. The source is MIT licensed and can be obtained from "http://svn.aegisub.net/trunk/aegisub/FFmpegSource2/". The precompiled binary is GPL licensed. If you are religious you may consider this the second coming.

<h2>Known issues</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Requires <a href='http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/'>Haali's Media Splitter</a> if ogm or mpeg ps/ts is to be opened.</li>
|
|
<li>Avi files with NVOPs (sometimes occurs in xvid and such) will desync when these frames are encountered. Remux to mkv/mp4 before opening to solve it for now.</li>
|
|
<li>The audio sources still aren't sample accurate and sometimes exhibit many interesting issues. This is however more likely to be an issues when not using a 32bit windows compile. Dumping the audio during indexing is the only workaround.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Compatibility - Video</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>AVI, MKV, MP4, FLV: Frame accurate</li>
|
|
<li>WMV: Frame accurate(?) but avformat seems to pick keyframes relatively far away</li>
|
|
<li>OGM: Frame accurate(?)</li>
|
|
<li>VOB: No rff flags applied</li>
|
|
<li>MPG: Seeking seems to be off by one or two frames now and then</li>
|
|
<li>M2TS, TS: Seeking seems to be off a few frames here and there</li>
|
|
<li>Image files: Most formats can be opened if seekmode=-1 is set, no animation support</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Compatibility - Audio</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>All formats are written to separate wave64 files</li>
|
|
<li>No wave64 reader is provided</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Usage</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>FFIndex(string source, string cachefile = source + ".ffindex", int indexmask = 0, int dumpmask = 0, string audiofile = source, bool overwrite = false)</b><br />
|
|
Used to invoke indexing separately and to write audio tracks to disk as wave64 files
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>FFVideoSource(string source, int track, bool cache = true, string cachefile = source + ".ffindex", int fpsnum = -1, int fpsden = 1, string pp, int threads = -1, string timecodes, int seekmode = 1)</b><br />
|
|
Opens video, will invoke indexing with the defaults if no preexisting index is found
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>FFAudioSource(string source, int track, bool cache = true, string cachefile = source + ".ffindex")</b><br />
|
|
Opens audio, <b>if an index already exists it needs to contain a suitable audio index or empty audio will be returned</b>, will invoke indexing with the defaults if no preexisting index is found
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>FFPP(clip, string pp)</b><br />
|
|
Separate postprocessing which also seems to include a few simple deinterlacers
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>SWScale(clip, width = -1, height = -1, resizer = "BICUBIC", colorspace = "")</b><br />
|
|
Separate postprocessing which also seems to include a few simple deinterlacers
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>FFSetLogLevel(int Level)</b><br />
|
|
Sets the log FFmpeg logging level, defaults to quiet (-8) and the FFmpeg default is 16, all different values can be found in avutil/log.h
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>FFGetLogLevel()</b><br />
|
|
Returns the current level of logging as an int
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>source:</b>
|
|
Source file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>indexmask & dumpmask:</b>
|
|
Which audio tracks to index/write to disk. Dumping a track also implies indexing since the same work has to be done anyway. It is a binary mask meaning that 7 corresponds to writing tracks 1-3. Non-audio tracks are ignored. -1 writes all tracks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>audiofile:</b>
|
|
The base name to use for the decoded audio. Track number and delay is appended.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>overwrite:</b>
|
|
Forces reindexing even if a valid index already exists. May be useful for trackmask changes or testing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>track:</b>
|
|
Track number as seen by the relevant demuxer, starts from 0, -1 means it will pick the first suitable track.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>fpsnum & fpsden:</b>
|
|
For VFR -> CFR conversion. Setting fpsnum <= 0 means a 1:1 relation with the encoded frames.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>timecodes:</b>
|
|
File to output timecodes to, if the file exists it will be overwritten.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>cache:</b>
|
|
Write indexing information to a file for later use. This setting does not control if the video index is loaded which it always is if it exists.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>cachefile</b>
|
|
Where to write the cache information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>pp:</b>
|
|
See the table below for a full description, an empty string means no processing. It is recommended to avoid the autoq option since it's currently unknown what effect it will have on the processing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>threads:</b>
|
|
Sets the number of decoder threads used. Defaults to the number of cpus reported by windows. Ignored by lavc if the used decoder doesn't implement it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>seekmode:</b>
|
|
Force how seeking is handled, has no effect on matroska files which always use the equivalent of seekmode=1<br />
|
|
<b>-1:</b> linear access without rewind, will throw an error if each successive requested frame number isn't bigger than the last one, only intended for opening images but might work on well with some obscure video format<br />
|
|
<b>0:</b> linear access, the definition of slow but should make some formats "usable"<br />
|
|
<b>1:</b> safe normal, bases seeking decisions on the reported keyframe positions<br />
|
|
<b>2:</b> unsafe normal, same as 1 but no error will be thrown if the exact destination has to be guessed<br />
|
|
<b>3:</b> aggressive, seek in the forward direction even if no closer keyframe is known to exist, only useful for testing and containers where avformat doesn't report keyframes properly
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>width & height:</b>
|
|
Width and height to resize to. Value below or equal to 0 is the same as specifying the input dimensions.
|
|
</p>

|
<p>
|
|
<b>resizer:</b>
|
|
Selects the resizer used for resampling the chroma planes and normal resizing. The available methods are: FAST_BILINEAR, BILINEAR, BICUBIC, X, POINT, AREA, BICUBLIN, GAUSS, SINC, LANCZOS and SPLINE.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>colorspace:</b>
|
|
The colorspace to convert to. The names are YV12, YUY2, RGB24, RGB32 and the empty string for same as input.

<h2>Changes</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>2.00 beta 9<ul>
|
|
<li>Now has stricter index checking to detect when different FFmpeg versions were used to create an inded of the same version</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed an access violation occurring when unindexed or empty audio tracks in matroska files were opened</li>
|
|
<li>Less type conversion/signedness warnings</li>
|
|
<li>When audio track dumping is performed a custom callback can now be supplied to name the tracks</li>
|
|
<li>The audio track delay is now exposed in the API in the same way as video tracks</li>
|
|
<li>A big type and argument name cleanup in the API, many things have been renamed to be clearer and it should be completely C friendly now</li>
|
|
<li>Removed FFNoLog and replaced it with FFSetLogLevel and FFGetLogLevel, the default logging is now also set to quiet, the magical numbers to supply it can be found in avutil/log.h</li>
|
|
<li>Updated FFmpeg to rev X (now with pthreads and faad2 again by popular demand, updated to GCC 4.4.0 for compiling all libraries)</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>2.00 beta 8<ul>
|
|
<li>Improved the audio decoding quality a lot by adding a simple cache, no more seeking is done when playing a file linearly and pops and other artifacts should be much more uncommon</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed a bug that would most of the time drop frame 0 and sometimes frame 1</li>
|
|
<li>Updated Haali's matroska parser code to the latest version</li>
|
|
<li>Updated FFmpeg to rev 18774</li>

|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>2.00 beta 7<ul>
|
|
<li>Using ffms2 as a library no longer requires an installed pixfmt.h from libavutil, it is however still required to compile ffms2 and the avisynth plugin part</li>
|
|
<li>Fix a crash bug at the end of files with b-frames in beta 6 caused by uninitialized null packets</li>
|
|
<li>Includes TheFluff's wrapper function for 1.21 style syntax</li>

|
<li>2.00 beta 6<ul>
|
|
<li>Haali's splitters have been improved for video and now have audio dumping during indexing implemented</li>
|
|
<li>SeekMode=1 has improved logic which will make it go back and decode more frames if necessary to figure out where it is, in theory SeekMode=0 should now be mostly obsolete</li>
|
|
<li>Haali's splitters are now used to open mpeg ps and ogm in addition to mpeg ts, only ogm is frame accurate at this time</li>
|
|
<li>Negative timecodes and other bugs caused by an integer overflow fixed</li>
|
|
<li>Updated FFmpeg to rev 18442 (once again compilation fixes for the changes)</li>
