I'm unable to create single channel audio file with ffmpeg from an mp4 file, with the following python code

I need to extract the codec_name of the second video stream (artwork) of a video file.

So I do this :

I have an MXF file with 16 audio mono streams and I need to recode it in a mp4 file with 2<=n<=16 channels merging input streams, e.g. input channels 1 and 2 on output channel 1 and 9 and 10 on output channel 2. This job will be done with ffmpeg. I read the documentation and found the amerge and amix filters that would be nice, but they output one channel only. Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks, Laura

Find below the output of ffprobe on mxf file:

As part of a larger script, I need to be able to read the timecode off of a DPX file. I have ffmpeg and ffprobe, but I'm a beginner when it comes to using those programs.

For MOV files, I was able to cobble this together:

...

I'm writing a script that needs to either convert or re-container an MP4 as an MOV with timecode.

I have an MP4 generated from Adobe Premiere. If I bring that file back into Premiere, I have timecode. I can see it so I know it is there.

I can't seem to extract the timecode track from the MP4. I've looked everywhere online and found some discussions around it, but no actual success in extracting the timecode.

I've been using ffprobe to see if there's any mention of the timecode in the MP4, but having no luck. I've tried PyMediaInfo with no success.

Here's what ffprobe shows:

I am trying to compress a video with ffmpeg.

My operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

My ffmpeg version (retrieved through ffmpeg -version):

ffmpeg version 2.8.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 5.4.0 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 20160609

FYI, The information about the video can be retrieved with:

ffprobe -show_streams -i "video.mp4"

and I get:

Why do I see this error message:

[Parsed_scale_0 @ 0x559a264c28a0] Invalid size 'if(gt(iw'

[AVFilterGraph @ 0x559a268a19e0] Error initializing filter 'scale'

with args 'if(gt(iw' Error initializing complex filters.

Invalid argument

when trying to crop a video using ffmpeg and the following complex filter:

We have videos that we transcode to h.264, but COPY the original audio track (they all vary). We are now trying to prepend a 10 second disclaimer before the original video begins. Apparently the audio tracks of the two videos must be the same, so I'm trying to add a silent audio track to the generated video based on the audio track of the video it will be concatenated with.

From other questions, I've learned to add -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100, but this results in garbled audio when the concatenation occurs. So using ffprobe, I would like to get whatever audio properties are needed and use them in the prepending video.

So the question is: How can I specify the specific audio track settings I want/need when creating the 10 second video?

FFMpeg to create 10 second disclaimer

ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100 -loop 1 -i disclaimer.png -filter:v "fade=out:st=8:d=2" -c:v libx264 -t 10 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 29.97 disclaimer.mp4

FFProbe

I used a program called MetaZ on my mac to tag all my video files (m4v). I am now trying to use these m4v files in Kodi which requires .nfo files and separate picture files for movie posters, etc. I want to extract the picture that is already in the m4v file.

When I use ffprobe -show_streams, I can see that index4 is a png file (codec_name=png). How do I extract it? I believe ffmpeg can do it, but can't figure out how.

Here is the output from ffprobe:
