Hello mates!

Did somebody write ffmpeg/libavcodec wrapper? Is it exist?

i need to conver 16bit raw video to dnxhd or Prores frame by frame. "ffmpeg.exe" allows me to do it with command line. but i can't controll process.

did u try Handbrake?

No. But it doesn't support high-quality codecs like dnxhd or Prores. libavcodes does.

It seems that there is support for FFmpeg encoding in real-time by using pipes.

Hello AWPStar

Thank you for that hint. I'm looking for such an option since a long time. It has to be adapted to FB, but in principle it seems to work.

It looks like, and it works. But still there's some errors with buffer coming.

Code: Select all

Dim bt() As UByte

ReDim bt(320& * 240 * 4)

Dim As Long n, k

Open pipe "ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb0 -s 320x240 -r 24.000 -i - -an -f avi -vf vflip -vcodec:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v high -level:v 5.2 -q:v 0 -r 24.000 G:\ffmpeg\bin\test.avi" For Binary As #1
    
    For k = 0 To 47
        For n = 0 To 307200 - 1
            bt(n) = Int( Rnd * 256)
        Next
        
        Put #1, , bt()
    Next
    
Close #1

Sleep

Hello AWPStar,

AFAIK you have to state either "Read" or "Write" if you open a pipe as "Binary", because FB doesn't support bidirectional pipes yet.

I've tested your code, and it works fine. The buffer size error occurs when closing the pipe. It's only a disfigurement and doesn't affect the function of the program.
