Hi!

Can someone compile a ffmpeg for AROS 64 Bit?

I could use this for my port of Dungeonkeeper/keeperfx (for the installation, that Music, Video and speech samples are automatically converted to the intended format during installation, as in the AmigaOS versions).

Thanks!

Best regards,
Steffen

May I please second this? I use ffmpeg for processing videos I've made (either through ScreenRecorder or Hollywood video output) to upload to our college systems.

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. a 64 bit ScreenRecorder would be very useful too...

For speech samples i now use mad2wav to convert them during installation of keeperfx. Music and intros still have to be converted by the user „otherwise“ though.

@MagicSN, @ntromans

I've compiled a binary for you. Please check to make sure all the features you need are working.

Many thanks! I'll give this a try when I'm back at home.

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. only spotted this a couple of days ago - many thanks for the port of Alien Breed 3D :-)

retrofaza is doing a great job; FFmpeg and all the new 64-bit games will also be available on the new AROS One 1.4 64-bit

Where do I find the sources for AROS FFMpeg ? Is it in Contrib?

I use FFMpeg for media file conversion. I also use a program the uses FFMpeg called Handbrake. I use it to convert MPEG video files.

It would be great if we could have FFMpeg 32bit and 64bit for AROS.

Just tested 64 bit ffmpeg. It gives shell output but when I try to compress a video file using the -crf option (which works on 32 bit) the program says 'Unrecognized option 'crf''.

Yes, there are two diffs for AROS in https://github.co...ibs/ffmpeg

Here's another build, with the libx264 library included. Check to see if it works the way you wanted now.

However, we have a third version MP3 encoding has been added. The archive also includes the ffplay and ffprobe tools.

I haven't used FFmpeg much myself before, so let me know how it works—is everything that was in the 32-bit version included, or is anything still missing?

This is brilliant news; FFPlay supports a huge range of video and audio formats (it even has a GUI when configured), and it’s the default player on my AfA One (OS 3.9 BB4 + AfA OS)

What’s missing on AROS 64-bit is a fix for MPlayer (some media formats cause a Guru), or rather a port of a more recent version of MPlayer that includ

AMIGASYSTEM,

Which media formats in MultiView cause a guru ? Anything in particular?

miker, sorry, I made a ty, i meant to say ‘MPlayer’, which crashes with certain media formats. Unfortunately, old age plays tricks on you like that. I’ve corrected the post!

@retrofaza

Perfect, i have tested FFPlay and all audio and video formats are supported correctly.

Compared to the Amiga version, FFPlay is more up-to-date and has many more features, but there are issues when using it as an Icon tool; there are also some oddities when using it from the Shell, and it does not allow you to run files from paths, for example:

FFPlay Test.avi -> Works
FFPlay SYS:Test.avi -> Does not work

For this very reason, you cannot use it and it does not work as a tool in DOpus4/5

The Amiga version was probably created to be used as a tool
In this video, you can see how FFPlay works via Icona on an Amiga

In addition, the Amiga version has a built-in graphical interface

OK, I'll add support for Amiga paths in FFPlay and the ability to use them together with def_icons

As for the GUI, I don't plan on doing that for now

Re. compression, that's now working producing a smaller video which plays fine. Many thanks!

Cheers,
Nigel.

@AMIGASYSTEM

I've added some Amiga-related stuff to ffplay and ffprobe. Please check if the paths and def_icons are now working as expected.

It works very well; many audio and video formats are supported, including Video CDXL. FFplayer can now be used as a tool for Wandere and as a tool for Dopus4 and Dopus5.

As for videos, I’m not sure if it’s possible to centre them and keep the window at a fixed size; if the video resolution is high, the window goes off-screen.

As for audio, the window is centred and always the same size, but a graph appears that seems to be corrupted.
If you press the ‘w’ key whilst listening to music, a black-and-white spectrum will appear (the one used by default by FFPlayer AMIGA).

I have created a comprehensive video demonstrating the above (The audio is working. I haven't recorded the audio).

Thank you for bringing the new version of this important package to AROS 64-bit

Thanks for the test.

As for audio playback, the first graph that appears isn’t broken—that’s how it’s supposed to look... “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” It works the same way on Windows and Linux. Alternatively, we could swap those graphs in AROS so that the second one—the one that currently appears when you press “w”—shows by default. What do you think?

Automatic window resizing and centering—I’ll take a look at that.
