I still don't understand;-( Let me add the following to my answer to your first email: FFmpeg allows you to specify an input (often a file). This input will be decoded by FFmpeg (to a raw video format in case of video), the decoded data can be fed into a filter chain, the output of the filter chain is then sent to an encoder that outputs a different format (that you cannot feed into a filter chain because it is not the required raw format) which is accepted by a muxer. FFmpeg does not allow to send your encoded data to a decoder to allow a second filter chain: You need two instances of FFmpeg to do that. (this should have been "ffmpeg" all over the paragraph) Carl Eugen _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
