[FFmpeg-user] Concatenation of two *.mp4 files --- How?

2016-05-30 Thread Virgil Stokes
I have two mp4 files (the first (testImage.mp4 with no audio) created
 from a png file with ffmpeg [vers. N-79947-gcd244fa Copyright (c) 2000-2016
 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.3.0 (GCC)]

and the second (test.mp4 width video and audio) downloaded from YouTube.

I obtained the following information on these files using
 ffprobe [vers. N-79947-gcd244fa Copyright (c) 2007-2016 the
 FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.3.0 (GCC)]:

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'testImage.mp4':

How can I concatenate these two files with ffmpeg?

Here is my corrected question:

I have a YouTube MP4 video (test.mp4):

Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'test.mp4':
  Metadata:
major_brand : mp42

I have created an image file (testImage.png) from which I would like to make a 
5 second MP4 file. Then
concatenate (prepend) this 5 second video to the test.mp4 file (as defined 
above). How can this be done in ffmpeg? Note, I am using:

ffmpeg version N-79947-gcd244fa Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 5.3.0 (GCC)

Sorry for the previous poorly formulated email :-(

Ok Moritz,
How can I add a subtitle to only the first frame?

I don't like doubting people's goals, BUT:
A single frame wouldn't be very visible, would it? Since you would need
to use some form of concatenation (that's the key word to search for),
you would need to reencode the whole video just for the sake of the one
extra frame.

Perhaps adding metadata or subtitles would be a better alternative for
you? Both can be added without reencoding the video.

Cheers,
Moritz

[FFmpeg-user] Unknown type video file

2015-10-21 Thread Virgil Stokes
How can one extract the type of video file when it has a name that gives no hint 
as to what type of video file it is (e.g. e45612mj is the name of the file)?

Note, there is no suffix (file extension).

Is there a reason why you don't use FFmpeg
to produce an mp4 output file?
There was; but, there is no more. After looking at some information posted on 
the web, I now create the MP4 directly.

Thanks for making me think about it :-)

Is it possible to use FFmpeg to create a very slow AVI (e.g. 1 frame per second)
or an MP4 file directly, that would allow the user to study the individual

if needed.

This is just a very simple example.

Note that it only partially "reconstructs". Sound isn't taken into
consideration, and you're losing all information about frame timing,
which is relevant amongst others for fps, variable frame rates, and
audio sync.

You also need to tune your video codec and its quality. And possibly
the fps...

Thanks Moritz,
I am trying to learn more about the options that might apply to my 
problem. I have looked at the "header" information in my AVIs and 
perhaps with some experimentation, I will be able to reconstruct a 
"close" AVI from the extracted frames.
