Title: Package my video
|
||||
Date: 2024-06-20T13:19:03-04:00
|
||||
Draft: 1

## TODO
|
||||
|
||||
* Some intro
|
||||
* Investigate key frames and seeking
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this project is to get a minimum viable product of:
|
||||
|
||||
* support H264 video and AAC audio
|
||||
* experiment with AV1 and Opus if time permits
|
||||
* produce a .mp4 file that is optimized for: raw progressive playback and segment generation
|
||||
* generate a HLS playlist on demand
|
||||
* generate the Nth segment from a HLS file on demand
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### ffmpeg
|
||||
|
||||
First I want to start with the latest available ffmpeg static build from: <https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/>
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
❯ curl -sL -O https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
|
||||
❯ sudo tar -C /opt -xvf ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
My preference is to then link my preferred build to some location (`/opt/ffmpeg-static`) that I will then add to my `PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❯ sudo ln -sf /opt/ffmpeg-7.0.1-amd64-static/ /opt/ffmpeg-static
|
||||
# then edit your shell rc or profile, reset shell
|
||||
❯ type ffmpeg
|
||||
ffmpeg is /opt/ffmpeg-static/ffmpeg
|
||||
|
||||
❯ ffmpeg -version
|
||||

And checking codec support
|
||||
```
|
||||
❯ ffmpeg -codecs 2>/dev/null | grep '\s\(aac\|h264\|av1\|opus\)'
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test video file
|
||||
|
||||
Here are a few and open test video sources:
|
||||
|
||||
* Sintel: <https://download.blender.org/durian/movies/>
|
||||
* License: [Creative Commons Attribution 3.0](https://web.archive.org/web/20240105060647/https://durian.blender.org/sharing/)
|
||||
* Big Buck Bunny: <https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/>
|
||||
* License: [Creative Commons Attribution 3.0](https://web.archive.org/web/20240521095028/https://peach.blender.org/about/)
|
||||
|
||||
I grabbed a 720p version of each
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
❯ du -h test-videos/*
|
||||
398M test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov
|
||||
650M test-videos/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deciding on eventual segment size
|
||||
|
||||
Target segment size will hold some influence over our progressive transcoding.
|
||||
|
||||
Each segment will begin with at least 1 key frame, so our progressive output key frame placement should line up with where our segments will be extracted.
|
||||
|
||||
Apple [suggests 6 second durations for each HLS segment][apple_hls_seg] for VOD playback with HLS.
|
||||
|
||||
6s would be fine to use, but it's a choice with consequences.
|
||||
|
||||
If there was a desire to use a 3s segment instead, the progressive file would need to re-transcode to insert more key frames.
|
||||
|
||||
So for flexibility's sake will choose 3s for key frames in the progressive transcode, but eventual segments will be 6s.
|
||||
|
||||
### Packaging the progressive file
|
||||
|
||||
But first, let's produce v1 of the files with the target codecs applied (H264 and AAC).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❯ ffmpeg -i ./test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov -acodec 'aac' -vcodec 'h264' ./test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
|
||||
❯ ffmpeg -i ./test-videos/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv -acodec 'aac' -vcodec 'h264' ./test-videos/sintel_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
|
||||
❯ du -h ./test-videos/*
|
||||
138M ./test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
398M ./test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov
|
||||
650M ./test-videos/Sintel.2010.720p.mkv
|
||||
201M ./test-videos/sintel_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now lets inspect the frames a bit closer with this script `dumpframes.sh`
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
|
||||
ffprobe -select_streams v -show_frames -show_entries frame=pict_type -of csv $1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This should show what [picture type][pic_types] each frame is.
|
||||
|
||||
> I‑frames are the least compressible but don't require other video frames to decode.
|
||||
|
||||
> P‑frames can use data from previous frames to decompress and are more compressible than I‑frames.
|
||||
|
||||
> B‑frames can use both previous and forward frames for data reference to get the highest amount of data compression.
|
||||
|
||||
**I** frames are also called **key frames**.
|
||||
|
||||
So given a dump of Big Buck Bunny (BBB):
|
||||
```
|
||||
./dumpframes.sh test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4 > bbb_frames.csv
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
BBB is 24fps, so every 3 seconds we want to see a key frame. Here are the frame numbers where the key frame should be.
|
||||
```
|
||||
❯ python3
|
||||
>>> fps = 24
|
||||
>>> i_frame_s = 3
|
||||
|
||||
>>> for i in range(0, 10): print(i * fps * i_frame_s + 1)
|
||||
...
|
||||
1
|
||||
73
|
||||
145
|
||||
217
|
||||
289
|
||||
361
|
||||
433
|
||||
505
|
||||
577
|
||||
649
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* First segment should contain 3s of content which will be 72 frames.
|
||||
* First frame should be a key frame.
|
||||
* Then 71 non I frames.
|
||||
* Then the next I frame (frame 73) begins the next segment.
|
||||
|
||||
But our frames are not quite right.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
❯ grep -n I ./bbb_frames.csv | head
|
||||
1:frame,I,H.26[45] User Data Unregistered SEI message
|
||||
7:frame,I
|
||||
251:frame,I
|
||||
286:frame,I
|
||||
379:frame,I
|
||||
554:frame,I
|
||||
804:frame,I
|
||||
1054:frame,I
|
||||
1146:frame,I
|
||||
1347:frame,I
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is because we didn't tell ffmpeg anything about how to encode and where to place I frames.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few options to `libx264` that help control this:
|
||||
|
||||
* `--no-scenecut`: "Disable adaptive I-frame decision"
|
||||
* `--keyint`: effectively the key frame interval. Technically it is the "Maximum GOP size"
|
||||
* `--min-keyint`: the "Minimum GOP size"
|
||||
|
||||
> A GOP is "Group of Pictures" or the distance between two key frames.
|
||||
|
||||
So lets re-encode with those options. Actually lets write a wrapper script to do this.
|
||||
|
||||
I'll choose something besides bash because there will be a bit of math involved.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
import json
|
||||
import subprocess
|
||||
import logging
|
||||
|
||||
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
|
||||
|
||||
def probe_info(infname):
|
||||
cmd = f'ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams {infname}'.split(' ')
|
||||
res = subprocess.run(cmd, check=False, capture_output=True)
|
||||
logging.info('running cmd %s', ' '.join(cmd))
|
||||
ffprobe_dict = json.loads(res.stdout)
|
||||
v_stream = None
|
||||
for stream in ffprobe_dict.get('streams'):
|
||||
if stream.get('codec_type') == 'video':
|
||||
v_stream = stream
|
||||
break
|
||||
|
||||
r_frame_rate = v_stream.get('r_frame_rate')
|
||||
num, denom = r_frame_rate.split('/')
|
||||
fps = float(num) / float(denom)
|
||||
logging.info('got fps %s', fps)
|
||||
return {
|
||||
'fps': fps,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
def run_ffmpeg_transcode(infname, outfname, probeinfo, segment_length=3):
|
||||
# must be an integer
|
||||
keyint = int(probeinfo.get('fps') * segment_length)
|
||||
cmd = [
|
||||
'ffmpeg',
|
||||
'-i',
|
||||
infname,
|
||||
'-vcodec',
|
||||
'libx264',
|
||||
'-x264opts',
|
||||
f'keyint={keyint}:min-keyint={keyint}:no-scenecut',
|
||||
'-acodec',
|
||||
'aac',
|
||||
outfname
|
||||
]
|
||||
logging.info('running cmd %s', ' '.join(cmd))
|
||||
subprocess.run(cmd, check=True)
|
||||
|
||||
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
||||
args = sys.argv
|
||||
prog = args.pop(0)
|
||||
if len(args) != 2:
|
||||
sys.exit(1)
|
||||
|
||||
infname, outfname = args
|
||||
probeinfo = probe_info(infname)
|
||||
run_ffmpeg_transcode(infname, outfname, probeinfo)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Use `ffprobe` to dump the streams as json.
|
||||
* Take first video stream.
|
||||
* Get the `r_frame_rate` which is a fraction. Eval the fraction as `fps`
|
||||
* Calculate the keyframe interval using a static 3s segment length.
|
||||
|
||||
And if we run it, lets take a look at the cmds it executes:
|
||||
```
|
||||
❯ ./progressive.py ./test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov ./test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
INFO:root:running cmd ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams ./test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov
|
||||
INFO:root:got fps 24.0
|
||||
INFO:root:running cmd ffmpeg -i ./test-videos/big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov -vcodec libx264 -x264opts keyint=72:min-keyint=72:no-scenecut -acodec aac ./test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now regenerate the frame dump and check if our I frames match the expected: 1, 73, 145, 217 ...
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
❯ ./dumpframes.sh test-videos/bbb_h264_aac.mp4 > bbb_frames.csv
|
||||
❯ grep -n I ./bbb_vimeo_frames.csv | head
|
||||
1:frame,I,H.26[45] User Data Unregistered SEI message
|
||||
73:frame,I
|
||||
145:frame,I
|
||||
217:frame,I
|
||||
286:frame,I
|
||||
289:frame,I
|
||||
361:frame,I
|
||||
379:frame,I
|
||||
433:frame,I
|
||||
505:frame,I
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Excellent!
