    Good evening. I need to find frames similar to other frames of a video in order to cut and merge and make it as seamless as possible. I have been using the following FFMpeg script but it outputs everything to the CMD window but I have been unable to redirect it to a text file. I have tried '|' pipe, 2>&1 >, -null > and I have found no method. I know this is probably easy but i need the output in a searchable text file.

    Also is there any way to prevent Everything from listing and output just the matches?

    Script:
    Code:
    ffmpeg.exe -i video.mp4 -loop 1 -i output.jpg -an -filter_complex "blend=difference:shortest=1,blackframe=99:32" -f null -
    Output:
    frame= 4384 fps=151 q=-0.0 size=N/A time=00:03:02.66 bitrate=N/A speed=6.28x
    frame= 4460 fps=151 q=-0.0 size=N/A time=00:03:05.83 bitrate=N/A speed=6.28x

  2. Just add "2> output.txt" to the end of the command.

    Code:
    ffmpeg.exe -i video.mp4 -loop 1 -i output.jpg -an -filter_complex "blend=difference:shortest=1,blackframe=99:32" -f null - 2>output.txt

    Thx... That works. I still get all the header info even specifying no header, quiet, etc. No biggy but I get all lines with only a Carriage Return (hex 0D) instead of CRLF (0D0A). The CMD command 'findstr' doesn't seem to recognize this so all lines before the actual match are considered as the same line. I just takes an extra step to convert before seeking,but again I can make it work.

    Strange the 2>&1 does not work but 2> does... hmmm'
    Thanks for the information.
