Introduction to FFmpeg

FFmpeg is a powerful multimedia framework that can decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux,

stream, filter, and play almost anything that humans and machines have created. It's widely used for

video and audio processing tasks.

Installation

Windows:

1. Download from https://ffmpeg.org

2. Extract and add bin/ folder to PATH

Linux:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg

macOS:

brew install ffmpeg

Basic Commands

- Convert Format:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.avi

- Compress Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 output.mp4

- Extract Audio:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec copy output.aac


- Cut Video (without re-encoding):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:00 -to 00:02:00 -c copy output.mp4

- Merge Videos:

Prepare list.txt with:

file 'part1.mp4'

file 'part2.mp4'

Then run:

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4

Video Processing

- Resize Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1280:720 output.mp4

- Rotate Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf transpose=1 output.mp4

- Crop Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "crop=640:480:10:10" output.mp4

Audio Processing

- Increase Volume:

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -filter:a "volume=1.5" output.mp3

- Merge Audio Tracks:


ffmpeg -i input1.mp3 -i input2.mp3 -filter_complex amerge=inputs=2 output.mp3

Subtitle Handling

- Burn Subtitles into Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf subtitles=subtitlefile.srt output.mp4

- Extract Subtitles:

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0:s:0 subs.srt

Advanced Encoding and Compression

- H.264 Encoding (good quality):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 output.mp4

- H.265 Encoding (better compression):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx265 -preset medium -crf 28 output.mp4

Filters

- Grayscale Filter:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf format=gray output.mp4

- Add Blur:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf boxblur=10:1 output.mp4

GIF Creation

- From Video:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos" output.gif

Streaming
- Stream to RTMP Server:

ffmpeg -re -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -f flv rtmp://yourserver/live/streamkey

- Create HLS (HTTP Live Streaming):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -codec: copy -start_number 0 -hls_time 10 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls index.m3u8

Batch Processing

- Convert All MP4 to AVI:

for f in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f%.mp4}.avi"; done

Troubleshooting Common Errors

- Invalid Data Found:

Usually codec mismatch. Try re-encoding explicitly.

- Codec Not Found:

Install FFmpeg with all libraries.

- Output File Already Exists:

Use -y option to overwrite automatically.

Pro Tips and Best Practices

- Use CRF for balancing size and quality (18-28 range)

- Always test short clips first before full processing

- Use -preset slow or slower for better compression efficiency

- Keep FFmpeg updated for best codec support
