[ffmpeg] No such filter: 'pad=0:0:0:0:black'

[hzh003]

Hi there. I install ffmpeg on my desktop running window vista.

I am testing the following command in cmd console.

ffmpeg.exe -i testvideo.wmv -f flv -vcodec flv -r 30 -b 512000 -s 320x240 -aspect 1.3333333333333 -vf 'pad=0:0:0:0:black' -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128000 -ar 22050 -map_meta_data 129217222130086.flv:testvideo.wmv 129217222130086.flv 2> 1292172227488f8.tmp

And here is the result I got. No such filter: 'pad=0:0:0:0:black'
Error opening filters!

I am not very famaliar with ffmpeg. Anyone care to tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot.

The following is the complete log file:

Hi
Enter the command:-

ffmpeg -filters

This will show which filters are available to you.
Make sure that pad is listed.

In my version, pad is included in the list.
Like this:-

pad Pad input image to width:height[x:y[:color]] (default x and y: 0, default color: black).

PS
With Windows the command might be:-

ffmpeg.exe -filters

[hzh003]

I did ffmpeg -filters and I think I do have pad included.

Here is what I got.

Yes, I see from your reply, pad is fitted.
Maybe someone else can help now.

[hzh003]

Thanks for your help.

ANyone else know what the problem is?

[autodidact]

What about removing the quotes around your pad=0:0:0:0:black command?

[hzh003]

Thanks, I removed the quotes around my pad=0:0:0:0:black command and here is what I got:

‘-map_meta_data outfile[,metadata]:infile[,metadata]’

Set meta data information of outfile from infile. Note that those are file indices (zero-based), not filenames. Optional metadata parameters specify, which metadata to copy - (g)lobal (i.e. metadata that applies to the whole file), per-(s)tream, per-(c)hapter or per-(p)rogram. All metadata specifiers other than global must be followed by the stream/chapter/program number. If metadata specifier is omitted, it defaults to global.
By default, global metadata is copied from the first input file to all output files, per-stream and per-chapter metadata is copied along with streams/chapters. These default mappings are disabled by creating any mapping of the relevant type. A negative file index can be used to create a dummy mapping that just disables automatic copying.
For example to copy metadata from the first stream of the input file to global metadata of the output file:

ffmpeg -i in.ogg -map_meta_data 0:0,s0 out.mp3

(From the FFmpeg docs).

Hi

It looks like autodidact cured the pad error.

Chris K has got it right about the meta-data.
(Though I'm not sure about s0)


That meta-data instruction should read like this (imho):-
-map_meta_data 0:0
It maps the metadata from the first (and only) input file (testvideo.wmv) to the first (and only) output file (129217222130086.flv).
First input is 0, second would be 1, third would be 2 etc.

So I think your command should now be like this:-

ffmpeg.exe -i testvideo.wmv -f flv -vcodec flv -r 30 -b 512000 -s 320x240 -aspect 1.3333333333333 -vf pad=0:0:0:0:black -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128000 -ar 22050 -map_meta_data 0:0 129217222130086.flv

[Chris K]

(Though I'm not sure about s0):confused:

Sometimes metadata is stored at several places, e.g. partly global and partly in the audio stream. You then can selectively copy the metadata using the "s" character (and "c" if part of chapters or "p" if part of programs).

"-map_meta_data 0:0,s1" would copy the metadata from the source stream #1 (often audio) to the global metadata of the destination.

If you don't add any mapping, FFmpeg copies all metadata to the destination. If you don't want any metadata copied you can use -map_meta_data -1,0

Got it. Thanks. Problem solved.
