Activity Forums Compression Techniques New versions of FFMPEG and command line syntax

  • New versions of FFMPEG and command line syntax

    Posted by Stan Juznitok on August 30, 2012 at 6:44 pm

    Hello,

    Can somebody please help me with the newer versions of FFMPEG — recently I downloaded the Windows version built on 07/16/2012 from zeranoe.org. Using the new syntax form for command line I tried to compress the video with x264:

    ffmpeg.exe -i akiyo_cif.avi -r 10 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v baseline -b 50k akiyo.avi

    but I’m getting error that I really dont understand what is going on (see below). I have used before the builds dating from 2010 and I didn’t have any problems, but I don’t now how to write correct commandle line for new versions (I tried also the versions from 2012/07/08).
    Thank you!!!

    libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100

    Can you post the full output?

    It looks like most of your overflow errors are probably caused by the ridiculously low bitrate of 50k. Try 500k or 1000k….. Or it could be an issue with the source.

    Michael

    P.s. I love the wording of this error:
    “brainfart cropping not supported”
    Hahahaha
