Below is a description of the currently available bitstream filters, with their parameters, if any. I can encode the video to vp9 into webm container with the following command which correctly produces a vp9 video with transparency: ffmpeg -c:v libvpx -i dancer1.webm -c:v libvpx-vp9 dancer_vp9.webm. So basically forcing libvpx encoders instead of ffmpeg native ones to support alpha. However if I try to use ivf container instead of webm the ...Since 2016-07-13, it's possible to encode VP9/webm videos with alpha channel ( VP9a ). You only need a copy of ffmpeg compiled after that date. By the way, all you need to write is: ffmpeg -i frames/%03d.png output.webm. FFmpeg understands png format and will set a default framerate of 25 fps and a yuva420p pixel format to the output.5. I believe I found a solution: ffmpeg -hwaccel auto -i in.mp4 -c:v h264_nvenc -preset llhq -rc constqp -qp 21 -c:a copy out.mp4. It seems that h264_nvenc uses -qp instead of -crf. This option only works while -rc is set to constqp. Share. Improve this answer. Follow. answered Jan 26, 2018 at 18:50.1. -b:v 0 is the correct way for CRF encoding in VP8. VP8, by default, implements CRF as constrained quality i.e. it encodes a frame to maintain the specified quality and then compresses it further, if required, to keep it under the specified bitrate. When no bitrate is specified, vp8 inherits ffmpeg's default bitrate of 200 kbps.3. VP9 does not have a pure raw bitstream format.

FFmpeg version 6.0, full shared library build, downloaded from official website. Operating system is Windows 10. I feed the library with a VP9 video encoded with alpha channel, pixel format is YUVA420p. It detects pixel format as YUV420p.Feb 22, 2014 · This seems to be similar to what people report about HEVC (using e.g. x265 as an encoder). single-threaded decoding speed of libvpx isn’t great. FFvp9 beats it by 25-50% on a variety of machines. FFvp9 is somewhat slower than ffvp8, and somewhat faster than ffh264 decoding speed (for files encoded to matching SSIM scores). Aug 26, 2021 · I want to use vp9 encoder to encode video with alpha channel (argb -> webm, through ffmpeg) in real time (less than 30ms/frame), but I found that even if the -deadline realtime -speed 8 parameter is added, the speed is improved Still not obvious.

(ffmpeg with libvpx-vp9 overshoots, and I typically end up with a 20% higher actual bit rate, 480k) 4K is 3840x2160, 9x the size of 1280x720, so it would seem a 3600k bit rate should produce good results. Another guide is that vp9 is reportedly about equal in quality to mp4 at ... This setup with that command encodes at ~126 fps. This compares to about 10 fps using libvpx-vp9 encoder! Using the global_quality of 70 for hardware encoding the file is about 60% bigger than an encoding using libvpx-vp9 at a crf of 32. I would say these settings give about the same quality degradation compared to the source. May 28, 2018 · 1. What the VPx codecs in ffmpeg do is use the video bitrate value as a ceiling.

When trying to stream with libvpx-vp9 via OBS, the stream is constantly cutting off and OBS is reporting the encoder to be overburdened. It essentially gives me a frame every ~20 seconds. Using the same settings in ffmpeg directly on a recording of the screen, makes the encoder run at ~2,5x speed, which makes me think that the ... May 25, 2023 · Live encoding with VP9 using FFmpeg Encoding parameters. VP9 provides a range of parameters to optimize live encoding. Some broad principles of these are discussed in Bitrate Modes. FFmpeg VP9 encoding example. The table below describes the parameters of an example ffmpeg call for VP9 encoding. AV1 is an open source & royalty-free video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a non-profit industry consortium.

I see this addressed in the ffmpeg VP9 encoding guide: . For libvpx-vp9, the traditional wisdom of speeding up the first pass by using a faster encoding speed setting does not apply; -speed values from 0 to 4 result in the same speed for the first pass and yield the exact same results in the final ...
Re-mux WebM to MP4. If you want to stream copy (re-mux) and avoid re-encoding: ffmpeg -i input.webm -c copy output.mp4. This will copy the VP9/VP8 video and Opus/Vorbis audio from WebM to MP4. This is like a "copy and paste". No re-encoding occurs, so no quality is lost and the process is very fast.. Peg 40
There’s basically two ways to measure this: same-bitrate (e.g. a 500kbps VP8 file vs. a 500kbps VP9 file, where the VP9 file likely looks much better), or same-quality (e.g. a VP8 file with SSIM=19.2 vs. a VP9 file with SSIM=19.2, where the VP9 file likely has a much lower bitrate). We did same-quality measurements, and found:1 Answer. FFmpeg tries to detect the output container format based on the output filename but since NUL is not an actual filename, the format has to be specified. You may use the null muxer. ffmpeg -y -i input.mp4 -vcodec libvpx-vp9 -crf 31 -minrate 1500k -maxrate 4350k -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -colorspace 9 -slices 4 -color_range 2 -tile-columns 2 ...Even some "lossless" variants of codecs (e.g. libvpx-vp9 -lossless) produce distorted colors due to the YUV colorspace. If non-exact colors are acceptable, then the libvpx codec can make quite a good job: ffmpeg -r 25 -i image%03d.png -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -b:v 0 output.webmSetting auto-alt-ref and lag-in-frames >= 12 -> Will turn on VP9's alt-ref frames. Speed - Useful to speed up the first pass. speed 4 - Ensures VP9 to encode really really fast, sacrificing the quality. c:a libopus -b:a 64k - Ensures ffmpeg to encode the audio in opus with a target of 64 Kilobits. speed 1 is a good speed vs. quality compromise.Mar 13, 2014 · I want to do two pass encoding using FFmpeg libraries. Sample codes provided as documentation show encoding/decoding, muxing/demuxing etc., but the encoding process is single pass. I want to do/experiment with two-pass encoding. Is there some example/sample provided elsewhere? Thanks in advance! This setup with that command encodes at ~126 fps. This compares to about 10 fps using libvpx-vp9 encoder! Using the global_quality of 70 for hardware encoding the file is about 60% bigger than an encoding using libvpx-vp9 at a crf of 32. I would say these settings give about the same quality degradation compared to the source. You should use VP9, it's slower, but the quality gain is worth it. There is not a lot of gain to tweak each options, you'll have really good results with ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 30 -b:v 0 -c:a libopus -b:a 64k -vbr on out.webm-crf is the quality level, the lower the better AV1 is an open source & royalty-free video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a non-profit industry consortium. Depending on the use case, AV1 can achieve about 30% higher compression efficiency than VP9, and about 50% higher efficiency than H.264. There are currently three AV1 encoders supported by FFmpeg: libaom ... After quite a lot of tests, I ended up with the -crf 23 setting, with which the result webm file is of very good quality, compared to the original. The exact ffmpeg commands are: First pass: ffmpeg -i Source.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -pass 1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -b:v 0 -crf 15 -threads 2 -speed 4 -tile-columns 6 -frame-parallel 1 -an -y -f webm /dev/null.Re-mux WebM to MP4. If you want to stream copy (re-mux) and avoid re-encoding: ffmpeg -i input.webm -c copy output.mp4. This will copy the VP9/VP8 video and Opus/Vorbis audio from WebM to MP4. This is like a "copy and paste". No re-encoding occurs, so no quality is lost and the process is very fast.I have a WebM file with one video stream that was encoded with VP9 (libvpx-vp9). I wrote a C++ program to extract the frames from the video stream and save them out as PNG's. This works fine except that the resulting PNG's are missing alpha. If I extract the frames from the same WebM file using FFMPEG the resulting PNG's do contain alpha..
