@chapter Demuxers
|
|
@c man begin DEMUXERS
|
|
|
|
Demuxers are configured elements in FFmpeg that can read the
|
|
multimedia streams from a particular type of file.
|
|
|
|
When you configure your FFmpeg build, all the supported demuxers
|
|
are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the
|
|
configure option @code{--list-demuxers}.
|
|
|
|
You can disable all the demuxers using the configure option
|
|
@code{--disable-demuxers}, and selectively enable a single demuxer with
|
|
the option @code{--enable-demuxer=@var{DEMUXER}}, or disable it
|
|
with the option @code{--disable-demuxer=@var{DEMUXER}}.
|
|
|
|
The option @code{-formats} of the ff* tools will display the list of
|
|
enabled demuxers.
|
|
|
|
The description of some of the currently available demuxers follows.
|
|
|
|
@section applehttp
|
|
|
|
Apple HTTP Live Streaming demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer presents all AVStreams from all variant streams.
|
|
The id field is set to the bitrate variant index number. By setting
|
|
the discard flags on AVStreams (by pressing 'a' or 'v' in ffplay),
|
|
the caller can decide which variant streams to actually receive.
|
|
The total bitrate of the variant that the stream belongs to is
|
|
available in a metadata key named "variant_bitrate".
|
|
|
|
@section asf
|
|
|
|
Advanced Systems Format demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer is used to demux ASF files and MMS network streams.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -no_resync_search @var{bool}
|
|
Do not try to resynchronize by looking for a certain optional start code.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@anchor{concat}
|
|
@section concat
|
|
|
|
Virtual concatenation script demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer reads a list of files and other directives from a text file and
|
|
demuxes them one after the other, as if all their packet had been muxed
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
The timestamps in the files are adjusted so that the first file starts at 0
|
|
and each next file starts where the previous one finishes. Note that it is
|
|
done globally and may cause gaps if all streams do not have exactly the same
|
|
length.
|
|
|
|
All files must have the same streams (same codecs, same time base, etc.).
|
|
|
|
The duration of each file is used to adjust the timestamps of the next file:
|
|
if the duration is incorrect (because it was computed using the bit-rate or
|
|
because the file is truncated, for example), it can cause artifacts. The
|
|
@code{duration} directive can be used to override the duration stored in
|
|
each file.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Syntax
|
|
|
|
The script is a text file in extended-ASCII, with one directive per line.
|
|
Empty lines, leading spaces and lines starting with '#' are ignored. The
|
|
following directive is recognized:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item @code{file @var{path}}
|
|
Path to a file to read; special characters and spaces must be escaped with
|
|
backslash or single quotes.
|
|
|
|
All subsequent directives apply to that file.
|
|
|
|
@item @code{ffconcat version 1.0}
|
|
Identify the script type and version. It also sets the @option{safe} option
|
|
to 1 if it was to its default -1.
|
|
|
|
To make FFmpeg recognize the format automatically, this directive must
|
|
appears exactly as is (no extra space or byte-order-mark) on the very first
|
|
line of the script.
|
|
|
|
@item @code{duration @var{dur}}
|
|
Duration of the file. This information can be specified from the file;
|
|
specifying it here may be more efficient or help if the information from the
|
|
file is not available or accurate.
|
|
|
|
If the duration is set for all files, then it is possible to seek in the
|
|
whole concatenated video.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Options
|
|
|
|
This demuxer accepts the following option:
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item safe
|
|
If set to 1, reject unsafe file paths. A file path is considered safe if it
|
|
does not contain a protocol specification and is relative and all components
|
|
only contain characters from the portable character set (letters, digits,
|
|
period, underscore and hyphen) and have no period at the beginning of a
|
|
component.
|
|
|
|
If set to 0, any file name is accepted.
|
|
|
|
The default is -1, it is equivalent to 1 if the format was automatically
|
|
probed and 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@section flv
|
|
|
|
Adobe Flash Video Format demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer is used to demux FLV files and RTMP network streams.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item -flv_metadata @var{bool}
|
|
Allocate the streams according to the onMetaData array content.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@section libgme
|
|
|
|
The Game Music Emu library is a collection of video game music file emulators.
|
|
|
|
See @url{http://code.google.com/p/game-music-emu/} for more information.
|
|
|
|
Some files have multiple tracks. The demuxer will pick the first track by
|
|
default. The @option{track_index} option can be used to select a different
|
|
track. Track indexes start at 0. The demuxer exports the number of tracks as
|
|
@var{tracks} meta data entry.
|
|
|
|
For very large files, the @option{max_size} option may have to be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
@section libquvi
|
|
|
|
Play media from Internet services using the quvi project.
|
|
|
|
The demuxer accepts a @option{format} option to request a specific quality. It
|
|
is by default set to @var{best}.
|
|
|
|
See @url{http://quvi.sourceforge.net/} for more information.
|
|
|
|
FFmpeg needs to be built with @code{--enable-libquvi} for this demuxer to be
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
@section image2
|
|
|
|
Image file demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer reads from a list of image files specified by a pattern.
|
|
The syntax and meaning of the pattern is specified by the
|
|
option @var{pattern_type}.
|
|
|
|
The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
|
|
determine the format of the images contained in the files.
|
|
|
|
The size, the pixel format, and the format of each image must be the
|
|
same for all the files in the sequence.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer accepts the following options:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item framerate
|
|
Set the frame rate for the video stream. It defaults to 25.
|
|
@item loop
|
|
If set to 1, loop over the input. Default value is 0.
|
|
@item pattern_type
|
|
Select the pattern type used to interpret the provided filename.
|
|
|
|
@var{pattern_type} accepts one of the following values.
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item sequence
|
|
Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of files
|
|
indexed by sequential numbers.
|
|
|
|
A sequence pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", which
|
|
specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential
|
|
number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form
|
|
"%d0@var{N}d" is used, the string representing the number in each
|
|
filename is 0-padded and @var{N} is the total number of 0-padded
|
|
digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can be
|
|
specified in the pattern with the string "%%".
|
|
|
|
If the sequence pattern contains "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", the first filename of
|
|
the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number
|
|
inclusively contained between @var{start_number} and
|
|
@var{start_number}+@var{start_number_range}-1, and all the following
|
|
numbers must be sequential.
|
|
|
|
For example the pattern "img-%03d.bmp" will match a sequence of
|
|
filenames of the form @file{img-001.bmp}, @file{img-002.bmp}, ...,
|
|
@file{img-010.bmp}, etc.; the pattern "i%%m%%g-%d.jpg" will match a
|
|
sequence of filenames of the form @file{i%m%g-1.jpg},
|
|
@file{i%m%g-2.jpg}, ..., @file{i%m%g-10.jpg}, etc.
|
|
|
|
Note that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
|
|
"%0@var{N}d", for example to convert a single image file
|
|
@file{img.jpeg} you can employ the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i img.jpeg img.png
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item glob
|
|
Select a glob wildcard pattern type.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is interpreted like a @code{glob()} pattern. This is only
|
|
selectable if libavformat was compiled with globbing support.
|
|
|
|
@item glob_sequence @emph{(deprecated, will be removed)}
|
|
Select a mixed glob wildcard/sequence pattern.
|
|
|
|
If your version of libavformat was compiled with globbing support, and
|
|
the provided pattern contains at least one glob meta character among
|
|
@code{%*?[]@{@}} that is preceded by an unescaped "%", the pattern is
|
|
interpreted like a @code{glob()} pattern, otherwise it is interpreted
|
|
like a sequence pattern.
|
|
|
|
All glob special characters @code{%*?[]@{@}} must be prefixed
|
|
with "%". To escape a literal "%" you shall use "%%".
|
|
|
|
For example the pattern @code{foo-%*.jpeg} will match all the
|
|
filenames prefixed by "foo-" and terminating with ".jpeg", and
|
|
@code{foo-%?%?%?.jpeg} will match all the filenames prefixed with
|
|
"foo-", followed by a sequence of three characters, and terminating
|
|
with ".jpeg".
|
|
|
|
This pattern type is deprecated in favor of @var{glob} and
|
|
@var{sequence}.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Default value is @var{glob_sequence}.
|
|
@item pixel_format
|
|
Set the pixel format of the images to read. If not specified the pixel
|
|
format is guessed from the first image file in the sequence.
|
|
@item start_number
|
|
Set the index of the file matched by the image file pattern to start
|
|
to read from. Default value is 0.
|
|
@item start_number_range
|
|
Set the index interval range to check when looking for the first image
|
|
file in the sequence, starting from @var{start_number}. Default value
|
|
is 5.
|
|
@item ts_from_file
|
|
If set to 1, will set frame timestamp to modification time of image file. Note
|
|
that monotonity of timestamps is not provided: images go in the same order as
|
|
without this option. Default value is 0.
|
|
@item video_size
|
|
Set the video size of the images to read. If not specified the video
|
|
size is guessed from the first image file in the sequence.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Examples
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
Use @command{ffmpeg} for creating a video from the images in the file
|
|
sequence @file{img-001.jpeg}, @file{img-002.jpeg}, ..., assuming an
|
|
input frame rate of 10 frames per second:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -framerate 10 -i 'img-%03d.jpeg' out.mkv
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
As above, but start by reading from a file with index 100 in the sequence:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -framerate 10 -start_number 100 -i 'img-%03d.jpeg' out.mkv
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
Read images matching the "*.png" glob pattern , that is all the files
|
|
terminating with the ".png" suffix:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -framerate 10 -pattern_type glob -i "*.png" out.mkv
|
|
@end example
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
@section mpegts
|
|
|
|
MPEG-2 transport stream demuxer.
|
|
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item fix_teletext_pts
|
|
Overrides teletext packet PTS and DTS values with the timestamps calculated
|
|
from the PCR of the first program which the teletext stream is part of and is
|
|
not discarded. Default value is 1, set this option to 0 if you want your
|
|
teletext packet PTS and DTS values untouched.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@section rawvideo
|
|
|
|
Raw video demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer allows to read raw video data. Since there is no header
|
|
specifying the assumed video parameters, the user must specify them
|
|
in order to be able to decode the data correctly.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer accepts the following options:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
|
|
@item framerate
|
|
Set input video frame rate. Default value is 25.
|
|
|
|
@item pixel_format
|
|
Set the input video pixel format. Default value is @code{yuv420p}.
|
|
|
|
@item video_size
|
|
Set the input video size. This value must be specified explicitly.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
For example to read a rawvideo file @file{input.raw} with
|
|
@command{ffplay}, assuming a pixel format of @code{rgb24}, a video
|
|
size of @code{320x240}, and a frame rate of 10 images per second, use
|
|
the command:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffplay -f rawvideo -pixel_format rgb24 -video_size 320x240 -framerate 10 input.raw
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@section sbg
|
|
|
|
SBaGen script demuxer.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer reads the script language used by SBaGen
|
|
@url{http://uazu.net/sbagen/} to generate binaural beats sessions. A SBG
|
|
script looks like that:
|
|
@example
|
|
-SE
|
|
a: 300-2.5/3 440+4.5/0
|
|
b: 300-2.5/0 440+4.5/3
|
|
off: -
|
|
NOW == a
|
|
+0:07:00 == b
|
|
+0:14:00 == a
|
|
+0:21:00 == b
|
|
+0:30:00 off
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
A SBG script can mix absolute and relative timestamps. If the script uses
|
|
either only absolute timestamps (including the script start time) or only
|
|
relative ones, then its layout is fixed, and the conversion is
|
|
straightforward. On the other hand, if the script mixes both kind of
|
|
timestamps, then the @var{NOW} reference for relative timestamps will be
|
|
taken from the current time of day at the time the script is read, and the
|
|
script layout will be frozen according to that reference. That means that if
|
|
the script is directly played, the actual times will match the absolute
|
|
timestamps up to the sound controller's clock accuracy, but if the user
|
|
somehow pauses the playback or seeks, all times will be shifted accordingly.
|
|
|
|
@section tedcaptions
|
|
|
|
JSON captions used for @url{http://www.ted.com/, TED Talks}.
|
|
|
|
TED does not provide links to the captions, but they can be guessed from the
|
|
page. The file @file{tools/bookmarklets.html} from the FFmpeg source tree
|
|
contains a bookmarklet to expose them.
|
|
|
|
This demuxer accepts the following option:
|
|
@table @option
|
|
@item start_time
|
|
Set the start time of the TED talk, in milliseconds. The default is 15000
|
|
(15s). It is used to sync the captions with the downloadable videos, because
|
|
they include a 15s intro.
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
Example: convert the captions to a format most players understand:
|
|
@example
|
|
ffmpeg -i http://www.ted.com/talks/subtitles/id/1/lang/en talk1-en.srt
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@c man end DEMUXERS
