Here I will describe how to encode a video that is meant to play on a Divx/Xvid compliant DVD player. The best way to encode it is using 2 pass VBR encoding, which will generate the smallest file with the highest quality possible. Also, make sure that the INPUT file is of good quality, for example a HD source will generate a much smaller and higher quality output file than a DVD source, because the amount of noise is much less.

Quick XviD Encoding Examples (For the Impatient)
In the following examples, well use mencoder with the most basic of options, allowing mencoder to decide which video and audio streams to use. Mencoders choice may not be what you want, and the audio will also be converted to a high quality VBR stereo MP3. Adjust any settings as you see fit.
Single-Pass Encoding. Fixed Quantizer Value of 4 (Good quality, decent file size)
mencoder dvd:// \
-oac mp3lame -lameopts q=0:aq=0 \
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts fixed_quant=4:autoaspect \
-o OUTPUT.avi
Fixed Quantizer Value of 2 (High quality, larger file size)
mencoder dvd:// \
-oac mp3lame -lameopts q=0:aq=0 \
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts fixed_quant=2:autoaspect \
-o OUTPUT.avi
Two Pass Encoding
Pass 1: (no need for audio or quality settings such as bitrate)
mencoder dvd:// \
-nosound -passlogfile pass1.log \
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1:turbo:autoaspect \
-o /dev/null
Pass 2 Option 1: (VBR ~ 1500 kbps)

If your video source has black borders, you can crop them out. These borders can be cropped with a video filter -vf crop=w:h:x:y where w, h, x and y are the width, height, x and y coordinates. To help determine which crop values are appropriate, first play your video with mplayer using the -vf cropdetect option, and seek through the movie to bright points of the movie where the black borders are clearly visible. Dark opening scenes may give you inaccurate edge readings.
mencoder dvd:// -vf cropdetect
Copy the values that mplayer displays in the background terminal as the example above shows and use them like the following.
mencoder dvd:// -vf crop=704:576:8:0 # (other options)
ffprobe -show_entries stream=duration Pelicula.mp4 2>/dev/null
Often, you want to just cut out a portion from a file. FFmpeg supports basic cutting with the -t and -ss options. The first one will specify the duration of the output, and the second one will specify the start point. For example, to get the first five seconds, starting from one minute and 30 seconds:
Alternative: -t SECONDS or -t hh:mm:ss.mmm

Quality comes first. What is quality, even? Generally, the more bits you can spend on a file, the better it will look or sound. This means, that for the same codec, larger file size (or larger bit rate) will equal in better quality. In most cases, that is.
Most people associate quality with bit rate. This is a relict from the good old days where everyone would encode MP3 files from their CDs. Of course, this is a relatively simple approach, and you can get a good feeling for the bit rates you might need for certain videos. If you want to set the bit rate, you can do that with the -b option, again specifying the audio or video stream (just to resolve any ambiguities). The bit rate can be specified with suffixes like K for kBit/s or M for mBit/s.
ffmpeg -i INPUT.wav \ -b:a 192K \ OUTPUT.mp3 ffmpeg -i INPUT.avi \ -c:v libx264 -b:v 500K \ -c:a copy \ OUTPUT.mp4
But often, bit rate is not enough. You only need to restrict bit rate when you have a very specific target file size to reach. In all other cases, use a better concept, called constant quality. The reason is that sometimes you dont want to spend the same amount of bits to a segment of a file. Thats when you should use variable bit rate. Actually, this concept is very well known for MP3 audio, where VBR rips are commonly found.
In video, this means setting a certain value called Constant Rate Factor. For x264 (the h.264 encoder you should use), this is very easy:
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 \
-c:v libx264 -crf 23 \
OUTPUT.mp4
The CRF can be anything within 0 and 51, with the reasonable range being 17 to 26. The lower, the better the quality, the higher the file size. The default value is 23 here. For MPEG-4 video (like XviD), a similar concept exists, called qscale.
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 \
-c:v mpeg4 -qscale:v 3 \
OUTPUT.mp4
Here, the qscale:v can range from 1 to 31. The lower, the higher the quality, with values of 3 to 5 giving a good enough result in most cases. In general, the best bet is to just try and see for yourself what looks good. Take into account the result file size you want and how much quality you can trade in for smaller file sizes. Its all up to you. As a last note, dont ever fall for the sameq option. Sameq does not mean same quality and you should never use it.
Convert an .MTS file to a .MP4 file We want to convert it to .MP4, for instance to show it on a mobile device Android, or to play it om xbmc, or to import into kdenlive.
For a whole directory, type:
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b"); for i in *.MTS; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 15M -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 192k "$i.mp4"; done
or offtopic:
find . -print0 file do echo -v "$file" done
Now, if you want to resize it for some reason (show on mobile phone):
ffmpeg -i 00031.MTS -s 480x320 -b:v 4000k 00031.MP4
Using these parameters you shrink a 25MB movie to a 6 MB movie.
Convert an .DV file to a .MP4 file
ffmpeg -i tape.dv -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 15M -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -threads 2 -ilme tape.mp4
Use this option if your input file is interlaced and you want to keep the interlaced format for minimum losses. The alternative is to deinterlace the input stream with -deinterlace, but deinterlacing introduces losses.
Convert an .MTS file to a .DV file for video editing We want to convert it to .DV, because then our video editing program (kdenlive) will process the clips much much faster!!!
ffmpeg -i 00005.MTS -f avi -b:v 16000k -ab 192k 00005.DV
ALTERNATIVE
I also found this commandline, worked very well:

Another commandline:
ffmpeg -y -i 00141.MTS -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 8000000 -ab 128000 -s 1280x720 new2.mp4 ffmpeg -y -i 00101.MTS -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 14M -acodec ac3 -ab 192k new.mp4 <-- deze gebruikt om .MTS in kdenlive te importeren
for i in *; do ffmpeg -y -i "$i" -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 14M -acodec ac3 -ab 192k "$i".mp4; done
Convert to WebM (VP8). A valid WebM file can only contain VP8 video and Vorbis audio in a .webm container.
ffmpeg -i bla.mp4 -vcodec libvpx -b:v 15M -acodec libvorbis -b:a 192k out.webm
For web page (reduced size):
ffmpeg -i 44.mp4 -s 568x320 -vcodec libvpx -b:v 300k -acodec libvorbis -b:a 64k 44.webm
Convert an .MTS file to Flash (FLV)
ffmpeg -i bla.mts -s 640x360 -ar 22050 -b:v 1M blaat.flv
of pas de bitrate aan voor hogere kwaliteit:
ffmpeg -i bla.mts -s 640x360 -ar 22050 -b:v 3M blaat.flv
Convert an old analogue letterbox recording to SD digital format The input file was
Input #0, mpeg, from '1106_20091226203000.mpg':
Duration: 04:24:55.20, start: 0.276144, bitrate: 6934 kb/s

Stream #0.1[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 384 kb/s
and the picture has big black borders on the top and bottom and looks squashed. It was supposed to be stretched to fill up the screen (Our old analogue TV did that automatically).
This must be done in 2 steps: first the cropping, then rescaling back to 16:9
The first command is
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vf crop=720:430 -vcodec mpeg2video -b:v 8M -acodec mp2 -b:a 384k 25ycrop.mpg
Note that we try to keep the audio/video exactly the same as the sourcefile. The commandline options -sameq and -vcodec copy don’t seem to work here.
Next we must scale the video back to full screen, again the same settings for vcodec and acodec:
ffmpeg -i 25ycrop.mpg -s 720x576 -aspect 16:9 -vcodec mpeg2video -b:v 8M -acodec mp2 -b:a 384k bla.mpg

ffmpeg -vcodec copy -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 -i infile.mpg outfile.mpg
ffmpeg -i inputfilename.mpg -sameq -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:03:00 outfile.mpg
ffmpeg -target dvd standard
ffmpeg -i 00090.MTS -f avi -b 6000k -ab 192k -vcodec mpeg2video 00090.mpg
Sharpening Using the -vf option.
Strong luma sharpen effect parameters
unsharp=7:7:2.5
PvdM: dit betekent [unsharp @ 0x64f7c0] effect:sharpen type:luma msize_x:7 msize_y:7 amount:2.50
Strong blur of both luma and chroma parameters
unsharp=7:7:-2:7:7:-2
Use the default values with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "unsharp" out.mp4
PvdM: dit betekent [unsharp @ 0x64f7a0] effect:sharpen type:luma msize_x:5 msize_y:5 amount:1.00 Example:
ffmpeg -i part1.dv -vf "unsharp" -target dvd test2.mpg
Timestamps To set the timestamp of the file to the videos internal creation date/time, you can use:
exiftool '-CreateDate>FileModifyDate' FILE
To force a date/time when converting:
ffmpeg -i 00041.MTS -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec copy -timestamp 2000012312:21:34 bla.mp4
Split video files
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:30 out1.mpg
So, in the above example, you’re starting 10 seconds in from the beginning of the original file and ending 30 seconds later.
If you want to create multiple parts in one pass then the following should work:
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:30 out1.mpg -ss 00:00:35 -t 00:00:30 out2.mpg
In this example, the first segment is the same as the first example, but you’re also creating a second file starting at 35 seconds in and being 30 seconds long.
Remember to use the correct encoding:
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -ss 00:00:10 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mpg
Cut an avi file from second 1 to 12.9.
mencoder -ss 00:01 -endpos 00:12.900 -ovc copy -oac copy -o out.avi in.avi
Merge video files
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.mp4 1.mp4 2.mp4
Flip video files hflip and vflip
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf hflip,vflip,format=yuv420p -codec:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -codec:a copy output.mkv
The above did not work, but this did:
ffmpeg -i VID_20130915_110755.mp4 -vf transpose=2,transpose=2 output.mp4
rotate video files 90 degrees counterclockwise
ffmpeg -i 20160416_152451.mp4 -vf transpose=2 -c:a copy output.mp4
create timelapse movie To create a timelapse movie from images in a directory, use:
mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=5 -o test.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=1000
I know, this is mencoder, but it works.
FFmpeg uses the following format:
ffmpeg -f image2 -r 10 -b:v 1M -i %03d.jpg test2.mp4
but this doesn’t work. Also it requires the imagefilenames to be of name 001.jpg - 999.jpg, which is not always the case.
Rename files sequentially
cnt=1;for i in ''ls *.jpg''; do mv ${i} ${cnt}.jpg;cnt=$((cnt+1)); done
To list available formats (supported pixel formats, video formats, and frame sizes) for a particular input device:
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -list_formats all -i /dev/video0
Alternatively you could use
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
to list available formats.
To take a picture with a webcam
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -vframes 1 test.jpeg
To record video with a webcam
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 20 -i /dev/video0 -f m4v out.m4v
-r = framerate
to stream live to youtube from IPCAM
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://192.168.1.34:554/iphone/11?username:password" -f lavfi -i anullsrc=r=16000:cl=mono -c:a aac -ar 44100 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset medium -s 1280x720 -bufsize 6000k -vb 6000k -maxrate 6000k -deinterlace -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 -r 50 -f flv -force_key_frames source -x264-params keyint=20:scenecut=0 "rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/YT_ID"
record the screen, capture the desktop
Use the x11grab device:
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+100,200 output.mp4
This will grab the image from desktop, starting with the upper-left corner at (x=100, y=200) with the width and height of 1024×768.
If you need audio too you can use ALSA (see Capture/ALSA for more info):
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+100,200 -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0 output.mkv
Or the pulse input device:
ffmpeg -video_size 1024x768 -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0+100,200 -f pulse -ac 2 -i default output.mkv
Record fullscreen TV image (ziggo stream):
ffmpeg -video_size 1600x900 -framerate 30 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast -f pulse -ac 2 -i default capture.mkv ffmpeg -video_size 1600x900 -framerate 30 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -f pulse -ac 2 -i default -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast capture.mkv
Merging video and audio, with audio re-encoding See this example, taken from this blog entry but updated for newer syntax. It should be something to the effect of:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental output.mp4
Here, we assume that the video file does not contain any audio stream yet, and that you want to have the same output format (here, MP4) as the input format.
The above command transcodes the audio, since MP4s cannot carry PCM audio streams. You can use any other desired audio codec if you want. See the AAC Encoding Guide for more info.
If your audio or video stream is longer, you can add the -shortest option so that ffmpeg will stop encoding once one file ends.
Copying the audio without re-encoding If your output container can handle (almost) any codec – like MKV – then you can simply copy both audio and video streams:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -c copy output.mkv
Replacing audio stream If your input video already contains audio, and you want to replace it, you need to tell ffmpeg which audio stream to take:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 output.mp4
The map option makes ffmpeg only use the first video stream from the first input and the first audio stream from the second input for the output file.
extract images from a video
ffmpeg -i giveafuck.mp4 image-%3d.jpeg
-r This is used to set the frame rate of video. i.e. no. of frames to be extracted into images per second. The default value is 25, using which, would have yielded a large number of images.
Output a single frame from the video into an image file:
ffmpeg -i input.flv -ss 00:00:14.435 -vframes 1 out.png
This example will seek to the position of 0h:0m:14sec:435msec and output one frame (-vframes 1) from that position into a PNG file.
Output one image every second, named out1.png, out2.png, out3.png, etc.:
ffmpeg -i input.flv -vf fps=1 out%d.png
Output one image every minute, named img001.jpg, img002.jpg, img003.jpg, etc. The %03d dictates that the ordinal number of each output image will be formatted using 3 digits:
ffmpeg -i myvideo.avi -vf fps=1/60 img%03d.jpg
Output one image every ten minutes:
ffmpeg -i test.flv -vf fps=1/600 thumb%04d.bmp
Merge pictures into an Animated GIF
convert -delay TICKSxTICKS_PER_SECOND -loop 0 out*gif OUTPUT_GIF_FILE
In the command, “-delay” is an option that controls the animation speed. This option indicates that [ticks/ticks-per-second] seconds must elapse before the display of the next frame. The “-loop 0” option indicates infinite loops of animation. If you want, you can specify “-loop N”, in which case the animation will repeat itself N times.
to create an animated GIF image with 20 frames-per-second and infinite loop
convert -delay 1x20 -loop 0 out*.gif animation.gif
The last (optional) step is to reduce the size of the created GIF file, by using ImageMagick’s GIF optimizer.
Use the following command to reduce the GIF size.
convert -layers Optimize animation.gif animation_small.gif
Rip entire DVD
cat *.VOB /data/pil.mp4
Re-encode for DVD use
mythreplex --demux --fix_sync -o /data/stream -v 224 -c 128 "/data/newfile2.mpg"
Pull Chapters from VOB You can pull chapters from VOB files using mplayer. Here’s a command line to pull chapter 3 from the DVD drive and dump it to a VOB.
mplayer dvd:// -chapter 3-3 -dumpstream -dumpfile 3.vob
Rip VOB to mpeg4 and deinterlace as well.
ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.VOB -vcodec mpeg4 -b:v 10M -acodec copy -deinterlace lan1deinterlaced.mp4
Rip VOB to DV The following command will rip a VOB file strait from an unencrypted DVD and convert it to a strait DV file.
ffmpeg -i /cdrom/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB -target dv /home/joel/Videos/game_vi.dv
Rip VOB to DVD The following command will rip a VOB file to an MPEG2 video with AC3 audio for a DVD. It also uses the ‘-sameq’ option which uses the same quality factor in the encoder as in the decoder, allowing almost lossless encoding.
ffmpeg -i myfile.vob -target dvd -sameq myfile.mpg
Rip VOB to VCD The following command will rip a VOB file to a MPEG1 video with MP1 audio.
ffmpeg -i myfile.vob -target vcd myfile.mpg
Rip VOB to Flash (FLV) The following command will rip a VOB file to 352×240 (the same size as VCD) and will save it as a flash file.
ffmpeg -i myfile.vob -s 352x240 myfile.flv
Rip VOB to FLAC audio The following command will extract an AUDIO-DVD files to flac. List the VOB files in order:
cat VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB output.flac
unfortunately, there will be no CUE file.
copy/convert from multistream sources Given the following input file:
fmpeg -i input.mkv ffmpeg version ... Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers ... Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'input.mkv': Duration: 01:39:44.02, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 5793 kb/s Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (High), yuv420p, 1920x800, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 47.95 tbc (default) Stream #0:1(ger): Audio: dts (DTS), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s16, 1536 kb/s (default) Stream #0:2(eng): Audio: dts (DTS), 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s16, 1536 kb/s Stream #0:3(ger): Subtitle: text (default)
If we want to extract only audio streams, from input file, then we can do it like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c copy output.mkv
or use the appropriate codecs

Note, the names of encoders and decoders do not always match, so there are
several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries
even though both encoding and decoding are supported. For example, the h263
decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats it is even
worse.
