Activity Forums Compression Techniques Resolution limit?

  • Resolution limit?

    Posted by Tim Kinnel on June 4, 2012 at 10:10 pm

    I am using ffmpeg to convert video from mov to mp4 and to reduce the resolution from 640×360 to 320×180. However, the video comes out at 480×270. I am using the following command:

    ffmpeg -y -i “source.mov” -vcodec libx264 -s 320×180 -b 1000k -r 15 -vpre slow_firstpass -an “output_320x180.mp4”

    Does anyone have any hints about what might be going on? Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Tim

    Weird. You could try using libavfilter to do it: -vf scale="320:180"

    Thanks for the suggestion, which I tried. Same result.

    Hmm. Post the results you get on the command line
