It can also convert between arbitrary sample -rates and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter. - -ffmpeg reads from an arbitrary number of input "files" (which can be regular -files, pipes, network streams, grabbing devices, etc.), specified by the -@code{-i} option, and writes to an arbitrary number of output "files", which are -specified by a plain output filename. Anything found on the command line which -cannot be interpreted as an option is considered to be an output filename. - -Each input or output file can in principle contain any number of streams of -different types (video/audio/subtitle/attachment/data). Allowed number and/or -types of streams can be limited by the container format. Selecting, which -streams from which inputs go into output, is done either automatically or with -the @code{-map} option (see the Stream selection chapter). - -To refer to input files in options, you must use their indices (0-based). E.g. -the first input file is @code{0}, the second is @code{1} etc. Similarly, streams -within a file are referred to by their indices. E.g. @code{2:3} refers to the -fourth stream in the third input file. See also the Stream specifiers chapter. - -As a general rule, options are applied to the next specified -file. Therefore, order is important, and you can have the same -option on the command line multiple times. Each occurrence is -then applied to the next input or output file. -Exceptions from this rule are the global options (e.g. verbosity level), -which should be specified first. - -Do not mix input and output files -- first specify all input files, then all -output files. Also do not mix options which belong to different files. All -options apply ONLY to the next input or output file and are reset between files. - -@itemize -@item -To set the video bitrate of the output file to 64kbit/s: -@example -ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:v 64k -bufsize 64k output.avi -@end example - -@item -To force the frame rate of the output file to 24 fps: -@example -ffmpeg -i input.avi -r 24 output.avi -@end example - -@item -To force the frame rate of the input file (valid for raw formats only) -to 1 fps and the frame rate of the output file to 24 fps: -@example -ffmpeg -r 1 -i input.m2v -r 24 output.avi -@end example -@end itemize - -The format option may be needed for raw input files. - -@c man end DESCRIPTION - -@chapter Detailed description -@c man begin DETAILED DESCRIPTION - -The transcoding process in @command{ffmpeg} for each output can be described by -the following diagram: - -@example - _______ ______________ _________ ______________ ________ -| | | | | | | | | | -| input | demuxer | encoded data | decoder | decoded | encoder | encoded data | muxer | output | -| file | ---------> | packets | ---------> | frames | ---------> | packets | -------> | file | -|_______| |______________| |_________| |______________| |________| - -@end example - -@command{ffmpeg} calls the libavformat library (containing demuxers) to read -input files and get packets containing encoded data from them. When there are -multiple input files, @command{ffmpeg} tries to keep them synchronized by -tracking lowest timestamp on any active input stream. - -Encoded packets are then passed to the decoder (unless streamcopy is selected -for the stream, see further for a description). The decoder produces -uncompressed frames (raw video/PCM audio/...) which can be processed further by -filtering (see next section). After filtering the frames are passed to the -encoder, which encodes them and outputs encoded packets again. Finally those are -passed to the muxer, which writes the encoded packets to the output file. - -@section Filtering -Before encoding, @command{ffmpeg} can process raw audio and video frames using -filters from the libavfilter library. Several chained filters form a filter -graph. @command{ffmpeg} distinguishes between two types of filtergraphs - -simple and complex. - -@subsection Simple filtergraphs -Simple filtergraphs are those that have exactly one input and output, both of -the same type. In the above diagram they can be represented by simply inserting -an additional step between decoding and encoding: - -@example - _________ __________ ______________ -| | | | | | -| decoded | simple filtergraph | filtered | encoder | encoded data | -| frames | -------------------> | frames | ---------> | packets | -|_________| |__________| |______________| - -@end example - -Simple filtergraphs are configured with the per-stream @option{-filter} option -(with @option{-vf} and @option{-af} aliases for video and audio respectively). -A simple filtergraph for video can look for example like this: - -@example - _______ _____________ _______ _____ ________ -| | | | | | | | | | -| input | ---> | deinterlace | ---> | scale | ---> | fps | ---> | output | -|_______| |_____________| |_______| |_____| |________| - -@end example - -Note that some filters change frame properties but not frame contents. E.g. the -@code{fps} filter in the example above changes number of frames, but does not -touch the frame contents. Another example is the @code{setpts} filter, which -only sets timestamps and otherwise passes the frames unchanged. - -@subsection Complex filtergraphs -Complex filtergraphs are those which cannot be described as simply a linear -processing chain applied to one stream. This is the case e.g. when the graph has -more than one input and/or output, or when output stream type is different from -input. They can be represented with the following diagram: - -@example - _________ -| | -| input 0 |\ __________ -|_________| \ | | - \ _________ /| output 0 | - \ | | / |__________| - _________ \| complex | / -| | | |/ -| input 1 |---->| filter |\ -|_________| | | \ __________ - /| graph | \ | | - / | | \| output 1 | - _________ / |_________| |__________| -| | / -| input 2 |/ -|_________| - -@end example - -Complex filtergraphs are configured with the @option{-filter_complex} option. -Note that this option is global, since a complex filtergraph by its nature -cannot be unambiguously associated with a single stream or file. - -The @option{-lavfi} option is equivalent to @option{-filter_complex}. - -A trivial example of a complex filtergraph is the @code{overlay} filter, which -has two video inputs and one video output, containing one video overlaid on top -of the other. Its audio counterpart is the @code{amix} filter. - -@section Stream copy -Stream copy is a mode selected by supplying the @code{copy} parameter to the -@option{-codec} option. It makes @command{ffmpeg} omit the decoding and encoding -step for the specified stream, so it does only demuxing and muxing. It is useful -for changing the container format or modifying container-level metadata. The -diagram above will in this case simplify to this: - -@example - _______ ______________ ________ -| | | | | | -| input | demuxer | encoded data | muxer | output | -| file | ---------> | packets | -------> | file | -|_______| |______________| |________| - -@end example - -Since there is no decoding or encoding, it is very fast and there is no quality -loss. However it might not work in some cases because of many factors. Applying -filters is obviously also impossible, since filters work on uncompressed data. - -@c man end DETAILED DESCRIPTION - -@chapter Stream selection -@c man begin STREAM SELECTION - -By default ffmpeg includes only one stream of each type (video, audio, subtitle) -present in the input files and adds them to each output file. It picks the -"best" of each based upon the following criteria; for video it is the stream -with the highest resolution, for audio the stream with the most channels, for -subtitle it's the first subtitle stream. In the case where several streams of -the same type rate equally, the lowest numbered stream is chosen. - -You can disable some of those defaults by using @code{-vn/-an/-sn} options. For -full manual control, use the @code{-map} option, which disables the defaults just -described. - -@c man end STREAM SELECTION - -@chapter Options -@c man begin OPTIONS - -@include avtools-common-opts.texi - -@section Main options - -@table @option - -@item -f @var{fmt} (@emph{input/output}) -Force input or output file format.

When used as an output option (before an output filename), -decodes but discards input until the timestamps reach @var{position}. This is -slower, but more accurate. - -@var{position} may be either in seconds or in @code{hh:mm:ss[.xxx]} form. - -@item -itsoffset @var{offset} (@emph{input}) -Set the input time offset in seconds. -@code{[-]hh:mm:ss[.xxx]} syntax is also supported. -The offset is added to the timestamps of the input files. -Specifying a positive offset means that the corresponding -streams are delayed by @var{offset} seconds. - -@item -timestamp @var{time} (@emph{output}) -Set the recording timestamp in the container. -The syntax for @var{time} is: -@example -now|([(YYYY-MM-DD|YYYYMMDD)[T|t| ]]((HH:MM:SS[.m...])|(HHMMSS[.m...]))[Z|z]) -@end example -If the value is "now" it takes the current time. -Time is local time unless 'Z' or 'z' is appended, in which case it is -interpreted as UTC. -If the year-month-day part is not specified it takes the current -year-month-day. - -@item -metadata[:metadata_specifier] @var{key}=@var{value} (@emph{output,per-metadata}) -Set a metadata key/value pair. - -An optional @var{metadata_specifier} may be given to set metadata -on streams or chapters.

All the format options -(bitrate, codecs, buffer sizes) are then set automatically. You can just type: - -@example -ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg -@end example - -Nevertheless you can specify additional options as long as you know -they do not conflict with the standard, as in: - -@example -ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd -bf 2 /tmp/vcd.mpg -@end example - -@item -dframes @var{number} (@emph{output}) -Set the number of data frames to record.

It is made of "@var{key}=@var{value}" lines. @var{key} -consists of only alphanumeric characters. The last key of a sequence of -progress information is always "progress". - -@item -stdin -Enable interaction on standard input. On by default unless standard input is -used as an input. To explicitly disable interaction you need to specify -@code{-nostdin}. - -Disabling interaction on standard input is useful, for example, if -ffmpeg is in the background process group. Roughly the same result can -be achieved with @code{ffmpeg ... < /dev/null} but it requires a -shell. - -@item -debug_ts (@emph{global}) -Print timestamp information. It is off by default. This option is -mostly useful for testing and debugging purposes, and the output -format may change from one version to another, so it should not be -employed by portable scripts. - -See also the option @code{-fdebug ts}. - -@item -attach @var{filename} (@emph{output}) -Add an attachment to the output file. This is supported by a few formats -like Matroska for e.g. fonts used in rendering subtitles. Attachments -are implemented as a specific type of stream, so this option will add -a new stream to the file. It is then possible to use per-stream options -on this stream in the usual way. Attachment streams created with this -option will be created after all the other streams (i.e. those created -with @code{-map} or automatic mappings). - -Note that for Matroska you also have to set the mimetype metadata tag: -@example -ffmpeg -i INPUT -attach DejaVuSans.ttf -metadata:s:2 mimetype=application/x-truetype-font out.mkv -@end example -(assuming that the attachment stream will be third in the output file). - -@item -dump_attachment[:@var{stream_specifier}] @var{filename} (@emph{input,per-stream}) -Extract the matching attachment stream into a file named @var{filename}. If -@var{filename} is empty, then the value of the @code{filename} metadata tag -will be used. - -E.g. to extract the first attachment to a file named 'out.ttf': -@example -ffmpeg -dump_attachment:t:0 out.ttf -i INPUT -@end example -To extract all attachments to files determined by the @code{filename} tag: -@example -ffmpeg -dump_attachment:t "" -i INPUT -@end example - -Technical note -- attachments are implemented as codec extradata, so this -option can actually be used to extract extradata from any stream, not just -attachments. - -@end table - -@section Video Options - -@table @option -@item -vframes @var{number} (@emph{output}) -Set the number of video frames to record.

However splitting a stereo stream into two single channel mono streams -is possible. - -If you need this feature, a possible workaround is to use the @emph{amerge} -filter.
