Hey all, New to the list and trying to get my head around ffmpeg a bit still. So I am using ffmpeg to create slideshows out of individual images, with an audio backing track (usually mp3), and then encoding as MP4 (video is h264 and audio is acc), but for some reason the process is taking up to 1.4Gb of memory which is blowing me away. Now I am using a complex filter to achieve this, with multiple inputs, and example of my command is below:
ffmpeg \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf8912937006552540487.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf5351513282402727883.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf9204204500598689609.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf1241593939921003895.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf6231405065182432206.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf4783563520441940155.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf823726872837129805.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf4148893068919936811.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf6815991692415841819.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf553287365250808111.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf6763129487770212040.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf4160943340255327277.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf8834606975865492644.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf9160476045329137307.tmp \ -loop 1 -t 4 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf8917976550433767102.tmp \ -stream_loop -1 -t 60 -i test/ed141148-9b79-494b-a26d-f5c84535eeaf6379741644027890621.tmp \ -filter_complex \ "[0:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v0];\ [1:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v1];\ [2:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v2];\ [3:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v3];\ [4:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v4];\ [5:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v5];\ [6:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v6];\ [7:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v7];\ [8:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v8];\ [9:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v9];\ [10:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v10];\ [11:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v11];\ [12:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v12];\ [13:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v13];\ [14:v]scale=1080:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1080:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2,setsar=1[v14];\ [v0][v1][v2][v3][v4][v5][v6][v7][v8][v9][v10][v11][v12][v13][v14]concat=n=15:v=1:a=0,format=yuv420p[v]" -map "[v]" -map 15:a test/fcd2b1a9-f3c8-4cdc-8355-51c08b088ee3.mp4 Each loop is on a 4Mb Jpeg, and the stream_loop was the only way I could figure out to get the audio track to loop in the background, which is about 4Mb as well. I'm kinda stumped as to why this would be with my limited understanding of ffmpeg, I have some theories surrounding the -loop filling memory with copies of the img in a lossless format but any help would be most welcome. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
