Hi folks,
Following on from my previous thread (here), I am hoping to re-encode 800 video clips which are 3 hours and 4 minutes combined and 11.7 GB in size from my friends camera and fit them onto 2 DVD's (no authoring or menu's required, just pure video footage).
GSpot gives the following info on the codec of the clips:
I have a .txt. file with paths to all the clips and I am using this command in ffmpeg:Code:Container DVD "VOB" format MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud } Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR Video Codec: MPEG2 FPS: 25 WxD: 720 x 576 Average birate: 8804 Audio Codec: AC3 Info: 0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz 256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
The result is 10s of errors every second (see below) and the output video freezing on the first frame and not playing any longer than 7 seconds:Code:ffmpeg -f concat -i d:\video\mylist.txt -c copy d:\video\output.mpg
I have no previous experience in video encoding and would appreciate assistance.Code:[mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] buffer underflow st=1 bufi=37828 size=66833 [mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] buffer underflow st=1 bufi=39865 size=66833 [mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] packet too large, ignoring buffer limits to mux it [mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] buffer underflow st=1 bufi=39865 size=66833 [mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] buffer underflow st=1 bufi=41902 size=66833 [mpeg @ 00000000055fe720] packet too large, ignoring buffer limits to mux it

DVD Authoring should be done in software specifically made for this purpose; ffmpeg is not.
A "DVD Video" is more than just one movie, most of all it is a logical structure. More than just a concatenated clip sequence. I would not even be certain if ffmpeg knows that all these clips should be treated as DVD Video compatible while remultiplexing.
By the way, many good DVD authoring tools prefer elementary video and audio streams. -
Try this ...
You now only copy the video stream and FFmpeg re-encodes the audio stream to its default settings. Also FFmpeg always expects -f vob with mpeg2video streams.Code:ffmpeg -f concat -i d:\video\mylist.txt -c:v copy -c:a copy -f vob d:\video\output.mpg
EDIT:
Wrong!! FFmpeg copies both audio and video with -c copy (never used it that way). Anyways -f vob should be added.
Weird that a simple copy can cause a buffer underflow error?
Concatinating vobs from a original dvd works fine. Seems the camera delivers its own mpeg2 format?Last edited by Chris K; 15th May 2014 at 13:49. Reason: typo in code c:a should be -c:a

LigH - the problem is I have 800 clips. I have tried many DVD authoring software which cannot handle all these clips. I've made a .txt file which ffmpeg can parse with paths to all the 800 clips. Taking aside the ethics of a DVD being structured, getting all these clips without major errors would be a big hurdle.
Chris - Thanks. I've tried your command, unfortunately ffmpeg throws up the same errors

You could try to add -bufsize 1835k which is the common buffer size for vobs. I did a experiment by reducing the buffer size and look what I've got...Originally Posted by rookieauthor

If you still got the error, increase (or decrease) the value somewhat. But note that I did the experiment with a regular dvd vob.Code:[vob @ 02f22d60] buffer underflow st=0 bufi=8065 size=8900 [vob @ 02f22d60] packet too large, ignoring buffer limits to mux it [vob @ 02f22d60] buffer underflow st=0 bufi=8065 size=8900 [vob @ 02f22d60] buffer underflow st=0 bufi=8312 size=8900 [vob @ 02f22d60] packet too large, ignoring buffer limits to mux it [vob @ 02f22d60] buffer underflow st=0 bufi=8312 size=8900

I don't know what you exactly want to say with this code but you should add -y to the command line to automatically overwrite old exsiting output files. Then the batch would continue. If it is something else, please give more details.Originally Posted by rookieauthor

So don't author it. Just join and encode for DVD compliant MPEG-2 video and whatever audio you're making. Take the elementary streams later and author using Muxman or something.Originally Posted by rookieauthor
Is there a max bitrate being set? I suspect the max video bitrates are too high or ffmpeg doesn't keep to what you set and they spike too high.DVD "VOB" format

It would be interesting to know the gop size of the source clips since the clips are from a camera, not a dvd. MediaInfo can show that.
Format settings, GOP : M=3, N=12
Above the gop size of a original dvd vob. I'm not sure but I thought gop size and buffer size are related in some way. -
Which application or device created these clips, you say? With such an amount of errors, I doubt they have ever been DVD Video compliant. There must be a reason why authoring tools would reject them, and even a barely DVD range checking tool like ffmpeg discovers oddities.

Analyze video (one of this you trying to concatenate) with ffprobe - i afraid that something is tricky with mpeg2 max bitrate
Code:@ffprobe -v quiet -pretty -print_format json -show_entries "format=size,bit_rate:frame=coded_picture_number,pkt_pts_time,pkt_pts,pkt_dts_time,pkt_dts,pkt_duration_time,pict_type,interlaced_frame,top_field_first,repeat_pict,width,height,sample_aspect_ratio,display_aspect_ratio,r_frame_rate,avg_frame_rate,time_base,pkt_size" -select_streams v:0 %1 > %1.json

manono - My idea was to re-encode all the clips first. Having never used ffmpeg before, looks like the command I was given in the previous thread copies the streams and no, I didn't add max bitrate, just -bufsize 1835k as Chris advised.

The clip specs look ok! For re-encoding this should already do...
Code:ffmpeg -f concat -i d:\video\mylist.txt -target pal-dvd -y d:\video\output.mpg
-
Seems like these clips are cursed
I've given the command a go Chris but again constant errors as below:

Yeah, but this is different. It says ac3 frame sync error.
To check out if it is the audio that causes the problem you could ad -an to the command line.
BTW; you need to only post a few lines of the error messages. -
Thanks for the continued support Chris. I've added the -an to command line, here is some output
The out of order errors appeared 40 times and ffmpeg stopped after the first clip.

No, -an means "no audio" and was meant for test purpose to see if the errors were only caused by the audio stream. Unfortunately it seems not. I would first try to convert one single clip to see what that does.
If that already generates errors you'll have to first find a solution for that.Code:ffmpeg -i d:\video\clip_001.mpg -target pal-dvd -y d:\video\output.mpg
FFmpeg has three different concat options. What you now use is called the concat demuxer. It also has a concat protocol (forgot about the third). The protocol is used this way...
-i concat:clip_001.mpg|clip_002.mpg|clip_003.mpg|... ... and so on.
There is no option to do this with a text file so it would be hard to try this with 800 clips. You could try it with a few. You have to give the full path.
http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-protocols.html#concat -
It seems like we're getting somewhere, the command in your last post converted the first clip without errors.
I tried this with the second clip and again no errors. Can the above command be tweaked so it gooes through each clip in the .txt file and saves them with the same name into a different folder? If so, they should be easier to concat right?Code:-i d:\video\clip_001.mpg -target pal-dvd -y d:\video\output.mpg

Yes I think it can with a dos batch file. Not from the text file but directly from the clips folder. But it's way too long ago since I created batch files.Originally Posted by rookieauthor
There are many batch file wizzards here at vhelp and I'm sure someone can post the script for you. -
I figured it out. Much of the leg work was done in the previous thread. I copied the complete text file with file paths into an excel spreadsheet. Pasted the data again in the next column. Then copied everything back into the .txt file. Used Notepad++ to do some copy/replacing with the above commands.
Almost 200 files done in the last couple of minutes. Next question, once all files are done, how do I get ffmpeg to join the lot together? -
In that "successful" script you still aren't concatenating, just "re-forming" the data to (hopefully) more strictly follow PAL DVD standards.
If the result of all this doesn't work, I would suggest you go back to my original suggestion and demux to elementary streams. Then concatenate those, then mux together.
Or, try concatenating and outputting a TS file, which by its very nature is more capable of handling timing & packet differences. Then you could re-wrap it to a standard Program Stream.

Then I would go back to your first command line...Originally Posted by rookieauthor
First adapt the list to the new folder if it doesn't use relative paths. Only thing I added is the -fflags genpts command which should rewrite the time stamps from zero on up. This because each single clip starts at zero again. This should avoid seeking problems.Code:ffmpeg -f concat -i d:\video\mylist.txt -c copy -fflags genpts d:\video\output.mpg
And then lets hope no new issues arise!
EDIT: sorry but the command should read -fflags genptsLast edited by Chris K; 16th May 2014 at 15:11.

Scott, I was going through my other thread and saw your post from this morning. I'm sorry I overlooked one of your first posts in my other thread, it wasn't intentional. Anyway I used Chris' command from earlier
I split the .txt files into 2 to fit each .mpg onto a DVD and now have 2 perfect files which are ready to burn. ffmpeg threw up more errors along the wayCode:ffmpeg -f concat -i d:\video\mylist.txt -c:v copy -c:a copy -f vob d:\video\output.mpg

I edited the post with a correction on the command. If you encounter seeking issues, consider to redo it with the command.Originally Posted by rookieauthor
EDIT:
You could try this to get rid of the errors (these still worry me) ...

A "buffer underflow" is not a big surprise here: The bitrates of all clips are scratching the DVD Video limits, and a VBV checking multiplexer does much more than just comparing the bitrate — it also tests the usage of an assumed decoder buffer, and this can certainly hit a limit at concatenation points, while there is no issue with the single clips.
I have some experience from a DVD authoring studio in the past. I have seen clips with single GOP peaks at 13 Mbps being accepted by an authoring tool, and clips with single GOP peaks below 10 Mbps being rejected.
Your consumer DVD player may or may not choke at these points, depending on the real size of its video buffer (it may be bigger for multi-format players than for legacy pure DVD players). Practice matters. -
That's indeed what worried me! Also audio sync. I don't know if the OP checked this but concatinating so many clips of only a few seconds long?Originally Posted by LigH.de

As already said: Better let a specific DVD Authoring tool do this job. But be aware that DVD Video has its limits, regarding a number of cells and chapters per titleset.
If nothing helps, then a reencode with a good MPEG2 encoder (e.g. HC) and slightly more conservative options (max. 8.5 Mbps) may be necessary.
