c:a libopus -speed 4 -f webm /dev/null & \ This should speed up the overall encode process

In pass 1 specify a fast encode ( speed 4) and in pass 2, a slower encode ( speed 1).

In pass 1, specify the audio codec used in pass 2 in many cases, -an in pass 1 will not work.

In pass 1, you need to specify an output format (with -f) that matches the output format you will use in pass 2.

(This will generate a logfile that ffmpeg needs for the second pass)

In pass 1, output to a null file descriptor, not an actual file.

In pass 1 and 2, use the -pass 1 and -pass 2 options, respectively.

In order to create more efficient encodes when a particular target bitrate should be reached, you should choose the two-pass encoding.įor two-pass, you need to run ffmpeg twice as shown below The differences between the two passes are: In this mode, it will simply try to reach the specified bit rate on average, e.g. This is also sometimes called “Average Bitrate” or “Target Bitrate”. The simplest way to encode VP9 is the simple variable bitrate (VBR) mode VP9 offers by default.

Let’s say that your client delivers a video in MP4 format and you need to deliver it as a high-quality VP9 video. Once the codecs are installed you don’t need to reinstall them again Converting to VP9 This makes sure that all the codecs are installed and available for the following sections. To make sure that support for all the codecs I want FFMPEG with support for libvpx and opus (the default audio format for VP9) using the following command: brew reinstall ffmpeg -with-openh264 -with-x265 -with-tools -with-libvpx -with-opus To change it use the -r value ffmpeg -i Agent_327_Operation_Barbershop.mkv \ Values above 12 are perceived by humans as motion. ffmpeg -i Agent_327_Operation_Barbershop.mkv \įrame Rate is the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images called frames appear on a display. In FFMPEG, this one is an easy one to change use the -aspect flag and the aspect ratio than you want to use. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 16:9. The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. ffmpeg -i Agent_327_Operation_Barbershop.mkv \ With -ab we get control of the audio bit rate (expressed in bits per second). In this example, I’ve set the value to 48000. The -b:a attribute controls the audio sampling frequency.

There is an older argument -ar that will accomplish the same thing but the recommendation is to use -b:a to be consistent with the video attribute. The two attributes that we want to work with for audio are -b:a and -ab. In this example, I will only change the video bitrate to 2 megabits without changing the audio bitrate at all.

ffmpeg -i Agent_327_Operation_Barbershop.mkv -s 640x480 agent_327_480p.mp4įFMPEG allows me to change the bit rate for both audio and video separately. Note that the streams descriptions have hard returns added for readability, your result will look different. The first command gathers information about the video: ffmpeg -i tears_of_steel_1080p.movĪnd the result will be something like this. These are some of the basic commands that I use. Once it is installed you get the ffmpeg command available.

The command will install FFMPEG with the optional Open H264 support enabled. I’ve chosen to install FFMPEG via Homebrew rather than compile it directly via XCode. While there are tools like IFFMPEG they are not as comprehensive as I’d like them to be so we need to learn at least the basic of the command line. There are times when I dearly wish I had a GUI to do some of the work, particularly with feature-rich applications like FFMPEG but we don’t always have the chance or the choice. It will, supposedly, provide better compression than HEVC/H265 and not be encumbered by patents to the level of H265 and H264.įor an idea of the licensing nightmare HEVC has created see this article in The Register Once support for AV1 comes to FFMPEG I will recompile it to include AV1 support.
