如何分割视频，然后使用ffmpeg连接回原始视频

Question

I am surveying on distributed video transcoding with FFmpeg. I have found that there is a good script on https://github.com/nergdron/dve/blob/master/dve .

The script mainly uses the segment and concatenate filters of FFmpeg. I want to do a simple test first. However, I can not split the video into segments and then concatenate back to original video (with the same codec). I have tried with the following command:

a. Chunk the video

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i Test.avi -map 0 -codec copy -f segment -segment_format avi -v error chunk-%03d.seg

b. Building the chunking list:

#!/bin/bash -e
set -e
echo "ffconcat version 1.0" > concat.txt
for f in `ls chunk-*.seg | sort`; do
echo "file $f" >> concat.txt
done

c. Concatenate the chunks

ffmpeg  -y -v error -i concat.txt -f concat -map 0 -c copy -f avi output.avi

Then when I run ffprobe I get the following message which says it is a non-interleaved AVI:

I have tried a few other things without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

The segment muxer, by default, preserves input timestamps. And the way that the concat demuxer works is that it adds the relative timestamp of incoming files to the net duration processed so far. eg If first file is 10 seconds, and second file is 5 seconds but with a start time of 10 seconds. Then the first frame of the 2nd file in the output will have a timestamp of 20 seconds. This, I believe, is leading to the AVI warning.

Also keeping in mind that the segment muxer can create the concat list for you, use

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i Test.avi -map 0 -c copy -f segment -segment_format avi -segment_list Test.ffcat -reset_timestamps 1 -v error chunk-%03d.seg

and then

ffmpeg -y -v error -i Test.ffcat -map 0 -c copy output.avi
