| | | provided by the libavformat library. |
| | | .SH "FORMAT OPTIONS" |
| | | .IX Header "FORMAT OPTIONS" |
| | | The libavformat library provides some generic global options, which |
| | | can be set on all the muxers and demuxers. In addition each muxer or |
| | | demuxer may support so-called private options, which are specific for |
| | | that component. |
| | | .PP |
| | | Options may be set by specifying \-\fIoption\fR \fIvalue\fR in the |
| | | FFmpeg tools, or by setting the value explicitly in the |
| | | \&\f(CW\*(C`AVFormatContext\*(C'\fR options or using the \fIlibavutil/opt.h\fR \s-1API\s0 |
| | | for programmatic use. |
| | | .PP |

| | | This demuxer is used to demux \s-1APNG\s0 files. |
| | | All headers, but the \s-1PNG\s0 signature, up to (but not including) the first |
| | | fcTL chunk are transmitted as extradata. |

| | | .SS "concat" |
| | | .IX Subsection "concat" |
| | | Virtual concatenation script demuxer. |
| | | .PP |
| | | This demuxer reads a list of files and other directives from a text file and |
| | | demuxes them one after the other, as if all their packets had been muxed |
| | | together. |
| | | .PP |
| | | The timestamps in the files are adjusted so that the first file starts at 0 |
| | | and each next file starts where the previous one finishes. Note that it is |
| | | done globally and may cause gaps if all streams do not have exactly the same |
| | | length. |
| | | .PP |
| | | All files must have the same streams (same codecs, same time base, etc.). |
| | | .PP |
| | | The duration of each file is used to adjust the timestamps of the next file: |
| | | if the duration is incorrect (because it was computed using the bit-rate or |
| | | because the file is truncated, for example), it can cause artifacts. The |
| | | \&\f(CW\*(C`duration\*(C'\fR directive can be used to override the duration stored in |

| | | .IX Subsection "Syntax" |
| | | .PP |
| | | The script is a text file in extended-ASCII, with one directive per line. |

| | | .el .IP "\fB\f(CBfile \f(CBpath\f(CB\fB\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "file path" |
| | | Path to a file to read; special characters and spaces must be escaped with |
| | | backslash or single quotes. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | All subsequent file-related directives apply to that file. |

| | | .el .IP "\fB\f(CBffconcat version 1.0\fB\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "ffconcat version 1.0" |
| | | Identify the script type and version. It also sets the \fBsafe\fR option |
| | | to 1 if it was \-1. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | To make FFmpeg recognize the format automatically, this directive must |

| | | .el .IP "\fB\f(CBduration \f(CBdur\f(CB\fB\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "duration dur" |
| | | Duration of the file. This information can be specified from the file; |
| | | specifying it here may be more efficient or help if the information from the |
| | | file is not available or accurate. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | If the duration is set for all files, then it is possible to seek in the |
| | | whole concatenated video. |

| | | .el .IP "\fB\f(CBinpoint \f(CBtimestamp\f(CB\fB\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "inpoint timestamp" |
| | | In point of the file. When the demuxer opens the file it instantly seeks to the |
| | | specified timestamp. Seeking is done so that all streams can be presented |
| | | successfully at In point. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | This directive works best with intra frame codecs, because for non-intra frame |
| | | ones you will usually get extra packets before the actual In point and the |
| | | decoded content will most likely contain frames before In point too. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | For each file, packets before the file In point will have timestamps less than |
| | | the calculated start timestamp of the file (negative in case of the first |
| | | file), and the duration of the files (if not specified by the \f(CW\*(C`duration\*(C'\fR |
| | | directive) will be reduced based on their specified In point. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | Because of potential packets before the specified In point, packet timestamps |
| | | may overlap between two concatenated files. |

| | | .el .IP "\fB\f(CBoutpoint \f(CBtimestamp\f(CB\fB\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "outpoint timestamp" |
| | | Out point of the file. When the demuxer reaches the specified decoding |
| | | timestamp in any of the streams, it handles it as an end of file condition and |
| | | skips the current and all the remaining packets from all streams. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | Out point is exclusive, which means that the demuxer will not output packets |
| | | with a decoding timestamp greater or equal to Out point. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | This directive works best with intra frame codecs and formats where all streams |
| | | are tightly interleaved. For non-intra frame codecs you will usually get |
| | | additional packets with presentation timestamp after Out point therefore the |
| | | decoded content will most likely contain frames after Out point too. If your |
| | | streams are not tightly interleaved you may not get all the packets from all |
| | | streams before Out point and you may only will be able to decode the earliest |
| | | stream until Out point. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | The duration of the files (if not specified by the \f(CW\*(C`duration\*(C'\fR |
| | | directive) will be reduced based on their specified Out point. |

| | | .IX Item "stream" |
| | | Introduce a stream in the virtual file. |
| | | All subsequent stream-related directives apply to the last introduced |
| | | stream. |
| | | Some streams properties must be set in order to allow identifying the |
| | | matching streams in the subfiles. |
| | | If no streams are defined in the script, the streams from the first file are |

| | | .RS 4 |
| | | .IP "\fBnone\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "none" |
| | | Disable pattern matching, therefore the video will only contain the specified |

| | | .IP "\fBsequence\fR" 4 |
| | | .IX Item "sequence" |
| | | Select a sequence pattern type, used to specify a sequence of files |

| | | .Sp |
| | | A sequence pattern may contain the string \*(L"%d\*(R" or "%0\fIN\fRd\*(L", which |
| | | specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential |
| | | number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form |
| | | \&\*(R"%d0\fIN\fRd" is used, the string representing the number in each |
| | | filename is 0\-padded and \fIN\fR is the total number of 0\-padded |
| | | digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can be |
| | | specified in the pattern with the string \*(L"%%\*(R". |
| | | .Sp |
| | | If the sequence pattern contains \*(L"%d\*(R" or "%0\fIN\fRd", the first filename of |
| | | the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number |
| | | inclusively contained between \fIstart_number\fR and |
| | | \&\fIstart_number\fR+\fIstart_number_range\fR\-1, and all the following |
| | | numbers must be sequential. |

| | | \&\fIi%m%g\-2.jpg\fR, ..., \fIi%m%g\-10.jpg\fR, etc. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | Note that the pattern must not necessarily contain \*(L"%d\*(R" or |

| | | .Sp |
| | | For example the pattern \f(CW\*(C`foo\-%*.jpeg\*(C'\fR will match all the |

| | | better playback by adding \fIfaststart\fR to the \fImovflags\fR, or |
| | | using the \fBqt-faststart\fR tool). A fragmented |
| | | file consists of a number of fragments, where packets and metadata |
| | | about these packets are stored together. Writing a fragmented |
| | | file has the advantage that the file is decodable even if the |
| | | writing is interrupted (while a normal \s-1MOV/MP4\s0 is undecodable if |
| | | it is not properly finished), and it requires less memory when writing |
| | | very long files (since writing normal \s-1MOV/MP4\s0 files stores info about |

| | | .PP |
| | | It is different from specifying several outputs to the \fBffmpeg\fR |
| | | command-line tool. With the tee muxer, the audio and video data will be encoded only once. |
| | | With conventional multiple outputs, multiple encoding operations in parallel are initiated, |
| | | which can be a very expensive process. The tee muxer is not useful when using the libavformat \s-1API\s0 |
| | | directly because it is then possible to feed the same packets to several muxers directly. |
| | | .PP |
| | | Since the tee muxer does not represent any particular output format, ffmpeg cannot auto-select |
| | | output streams. So all streams intended for output must be specified using \f(CW\*(C`\-map\*(C'\fR. See |
| | | the examples below. |
| | | .PP |
| | | Some encoders may need different options depending on the output format; |

| | | .PP |
| | | The slave outputs are specified in the file name given to the muxer, |

| | | .SH "METADATA" |
| | | .IX Header "METADATA" |
| | | FFmpeg is able to dump metadata from media files into a simple UTF\-8\-encoded |
| | | INI-like text file and then load it back using the metadata muxer/demuxer. |
| | | .PP |
| | | The file format is as follows: |
| | | .IP "1." 4 |
| | | A file consists of a header and a number of metadata tags divided into sections, |
| | | each on its own line. |
| | | .IP "2." 4 |
| | | The header is a \fB;FFMETADATA\fR string, followed by a version number (now 1). |
| | | .IP "3." 4 |
| | | Metadata tags are of the form \fBkey=value\fR |
| | | .IP "4." 4 |
| | | Immediately after header follows global metadata |
| | | .IP "5." 4 |
| | | After global metadata there may be sections with per\-stream/per\-chapter |
| | | metadata. |
| | | .IP "6." 4 |
| | | A section starts with the section name in uppercase (i.e. \s-1STREAM\s0 or \s-1CHAPTER\s0) in |
| | | brackets (\fB[\fR, \fB]\fR) and ends with next section or end of file. |
| | | .IP "7." 4 |
| | | At the beginning of a chapter section there may be an optional timebase to be |
| | | used for start/end values. It must be in form |
| | | \&\fBTIMEBASE=\fR\fInum\fR\fB/\fR\fIden\fR, where \fInum\fR and \fIden\fR are |
| | | integers. If the timebase is missing then start/end times are assumed to |
| | | be in milliseconds. |
| | | .Sp |
| | | Next a chapter section must contain chapter start and end times in form |
| | | \&\fBSTART=\fR\fInum\fR, \fBEND=\fR\fInum\fR, where \fInum\fR is a positive |
| | | integer. |
| | | .IP "8." 4 |
| | | Empty lines and lines starting with \fB;\fR or \fB#\fR are ignored. |
| | | .IP "9." 4 |
| | | Metadata keys or values containing special characters (\fB=\fR, \fB;\fR, |
| | | \&\fB#\fR, \fB\e\fR and a newline) must be escaped with a backslash \fB\e\fR. |
| | | .IP "10." 4 |
| | | Note that whitespace in metadata (e.g. \fBfoo = bar\fR) is considered to be |
| | | a part of the tag (in the example above key is \fBfoo\fR , value is |
| | | \fBbar\fR). |
| | | .PP |
| | | A ffmetadata file might look like this: |
| | | .PP |
| | | .Vb 4 |
| | | \& ;FFMETADATA1 |

| | | By using the ffmetadata muxer and demuxer it is possible to extract |
| | | metadata from an input file to an ffmetadata file, and then transcode |
| | | the file into an output file with the edited ffmetadata file. |
| | | .PP |
| | | Extracting an ffmetadata file with \fIffmpeg\fR goes as follows: |
| | | .PP |
| | | .Vb 1 |
| | | \& ffmpeg \-i INPUT \-f ffmetadata FFMETADATAFILE |
| | | .Ve |
| | | .PP |
| | | Reinserting edited metadata information from the \s-1FFMETADATAFILE\s0 file can |
| | | be done as: |
| | | .PP |
| | | .Vb 1 |
| | | \& ffmpeg \-i INPUT \-i FFMETADATAFILE \-map_metadata 1 \-codec copy OUTPUT |
