Hi! I have a slightly weird code I have to work on and I am hoping someone can give me a hand with this. It is ok if your suggestion is in pseudo code or something other than PHP as long as I get to...

I won't be selling it or anything that complex but I will provide a small tool to a group of people who need it to do those things. I can have them install a support system,, like avidemux,, but I'd...

The idea was to use ffmpeg. Not to stray into other tools like avidemux or to use multiple tools to accomplish the merge and image overlays.

It turned out that ffmpeg is much harder to get to...

ALL is ok. I had a short-path issue. Figured it out,, it is working great. Thank you!

@jcis

Perfect! Works a charm! Thanks!

The problem is not, again, in executing the batch files. The point is that there's no output result. That's what the confusion was about. I figured it out tough, so no worries.

Thanks for...

I don't have a problem executing a batch file. The problem is that the batch file is not finding the comandline app

I am asking because I am getting this:


I just freshly installed avidemux

when I reference the avidemux2_cli.exe location there is no issue reported but there is no output file either.

My...

what avidemux file are you passing the command line to?

Yes. We collectively found it not helpful in the other thread that was mixed with this one. What ever is written there does not work when applied.

I created 3 short video files. They can be downloaded here http://goo.gl/DVIbZ

The archive contains 3 MP4 files as I usually create MP4s and three AVI files as an alternative way in which I CAN...

Yes, no problem! I'll create 3 short videos suitable for testing and have them available for download. Just need to get to my machine :)

I wasn't aware of that one. It looks intriguing. I'll try it and see if I can shell that. Thanks for the tip! Cross fingers!

Yes. It's tough. I'll ask there. In getting some results and I think I'm going to need to play with codecs. Either way, I foresee more days of searching.

oh,, I used this for batch:



c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\vid\1.avi -sameq C:\vid\1.mpg
c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\vid\2.avi -sameq C:\vid\2.mpg
c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\vid\3.avi -sameq ...

Huh! The conversion issue was due to mpeg not being able to work with 15 frames. I recreated avi-s at 30 frame rate and now they convert to mpg fine...

The merge however does a weird thing. Files...

I am staring at 3 avi-s and 3 mp4-s (created / encoded with camtasia 11 seconds, 4 seconds, 12 seconds). All conversions to mpg fail in some way (so far), like the ones I described before. I'm sure...

Issues with converting mp4 or avi I to mpg that needs to be merged. I tried similar variations of your code. Even created new wmv files. They either grt merged without video (only audio) or only play...

Nope... a variety of issues..

Yes actually,, I do know c,, except it has been a long time since I used it and I can't devote time in near future...



Definitely! I am looking at a combined file that only plays the first clip...

Let me try that,, I 'll get back to you on this,,, it may be a way to overcome this problem

I did, I tried that and numerous others,,, no luck in getting the damn things to merge,,

For example I tried the concat


ffmpeg.exe -i concat:C:\vid\1.avi|C:\vid\2.avi|C:\vid\3.avi -vcodec...

I even tried with mp4box just to get something to first MERGE the damn things and then I'd work on the rest of the problems...

@jcis

Oh,, I agree with you on usability 100%... My problem is that so far I did not find a single working solution for merging at all. I'd prefer using the wrapper but I am not familiar with how...

This is a static build for windows 64 bit
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win64/static/ffmpeg-20120503-git-c1fe2db-win64-static.7z

This one is for 32bit...

That line opens a blank cmd window. It is ok though, I used a pause line in the batch file to stop the ffmpeg prompt from closing.

@jmsrickland

the "that file" was ffmpeg.exe.. if you downloaded the same library I did, then it is in the bin directory

So it looks like this is going somewhere. Thank you!

this line in batch file creates an empty video container out of 3 videos.

c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i C:\vid\1.avi -i C:\vid\2.avi -i...

is this line for batch file ok?


ffmpeg.exe -i C:\vid\1.avi -i C:\vid\2.avi -i C:\vid\3.avi C:\vid\video_combined.avi

I added your code and adjusted everything I need:



Private Declare...

Where do I put ffmpeg.exe file.. In the project or bat file directory?

Yes. :)

Sample codes I have don't work,,, :(

I need to find a way to merge avi or mp4 files and I really just need something simple like shell execute (I will play with ffmpeg arguments).. so...

I did. It's not a simple shell execute example. Its a wrapper and doesn't merge files..

So you don't have a shell execute example of implementing this into VB6...


ffmpeg -i test.mp3 -i test_video.mpg video_combined.mpg

Ok. Thanks.

I read that FAQ about 64 times and came here to ask how to pass that to ffmpeg through VB6 :)

I mostly do mp4, but even if I can do avi that would be ok. As I said, I only need two things......

I presume no file merging / joining is possible with it though? I started working on this solely for that purpose.. no luck so far...

Yes! That was it. I don't even know why I downloaded the one from rapidshare,, I had the latest ffmpeg downloaded already.. It works definitely and it seems smooth.

Thank you so much!

One...

Then again,, the original project and form I got from you also do not produce the end result file even though all processes seem to go ok (no errors).

EDIT: I am thinking if it works for you, it...

How long should the conversion take? (Big machine here... lots of RAM and fast CPU)

I downloaded the file.

This is the exact code in my form:




Option Explicit

Can you attach a working version of what I uploaded. If that doesn't working on my machine then it is not the code..

that's the interesting part I just discovered,, there are no proccesses named "avformat.dll" initiated to begin with..
