TUTORIAL 6 – VIDEO CODING WITH FFMPEG

Objectives:

1. To consolidate your video coding and compression knowledge and practice skill;
2. To learn how to encode video with the well-known open-source tool FFMPEG;
3. To assess video quality

Preparation:

At home you are asked to:

1. Download a raw yuv video from https://hlevkin.com/hlevkin/14testvideos.htm


2. Install FFMPEG and codecs:

$sudo apt update


$sudo apt install ffmpeg libx264-dev libx265-dev

I. Encoding video

Issue the following command to encode the raw video into H264:

$ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s 352x288 -r 30 -i foreman.yuv -c:v libx264 -crf 28 -preset
slow output_avc.mp4

For H265:

II. Assessing video quality


The quality can be measured by estimating PSNR and SSIM. For the former, issue the command:

$ ffmpeg -video_size 352x288 -i foreman.yuv -i foreman.mp4 -lavfi psnr=stats_file=psnr_logfile.txt -f


null -

Similarly, to measure SSIM, type:


$ ffmpeg -video_size 352x288 -i foreman.yuv -i foreman.mp4 -lavfi ssim=stats_file=ssim_logfile.txt -f
null -

The text files respectively hold measurement statistics.
