FFmpeg Java
by Andrew Brampton (bramp.net) (c) 2013-2014,2016
A fluent interface to running FFmpeg from Java.
Install
Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.bramp.ffmpeg</groupId>
<artifactId>ffmpeg</artifactId>
<version>0.6.2</version>
</dependency>
Usage
Video Encoding
Code:
FFmpeg ffmpeg = new FFmpeg("/path/to/ffmpeg");
FFprobe ffprobe = new FFprobe("/path/to/ffprobe");
FFmpegBuilder builder = new FFmpegBuilder()
.setInput("input.mp4") // Filename, or a FFmpegProbeResult
.overrideOutputFiles(true) // Override the output if it exists
.addOutput("output.mp4") // Filename for the destination
.setFormat("mp4") // Format is inferred from filename, or can be set
.setTargetSize(250_000) // Aim for a 250KB file
.disableSubtitle() // No subtiles
.setAudioChannels(1) // Mono audio
.setAudioCodec("aac") // using the aac codec
.setAudioSampleRate(48_000) // at 48KHz
.setAudioBitRate(32768) // at 32 kbit/s
.setVideoCodec("libx264") // Video using x264
.setVideoFrameRate(24, 1) // at 24 frames per second
.setVideoResolution(640, 480) // at 640x480 resolution
.setStrict(FFmpegBuilder.Strict.EXPERIMENTAL) // Allow FFmpeg to use experimental specs
.done();
FFmpegExecutor executor = new FFmpegExecutor(ffmpeg, ffprobe);
// Run a one-pass encode
executor.createJob(builder).run();
// Or run a two-pass encode (which is better quality at the cost of being slower)
executor.createTwoPassJob(builder).run();
Get Media Information
Code:
FFprobe ffprobe = new FFprobe("/path/to/ffprobe");
FFmpegProbeResult probeResult = ffprobe.probe("input.mp4");
FFmpegFormat format = probeResult.getFormat();
System.out.format("%nFile: '%s' ; Format: '%s' ; Duration: %.3fs",
format.filename,
format.format_long_name,
format.duration
);
FFmpegStream stream = probeResult.getStreams().get(0);
System.out.format("%nCodec: '%s' ; Width: %dpx ; Height: %dpx",
stream.codec_long_name,
stream.width,
stream.height
);
Get progress while encoding
FFmpegExecutor executor = new FFmpegExecutor(ffmpeg, ffprobe);
FFmpegProbeResult in = ffprobe.probe("input.flv");
FFmpegBuilder builder = new FFmpegBuilder()
.setInput(in) // Or filename
.addOutput("output.mp4")
.done();
FFmpegJob job = executor.createJob(builder, new ProgressListener() {
// Using the FFmpegProbeResult determine the duration of the input
final double duration_ns = in.getFormat().duration * TimeUnit.SECONDS.toNanos(1);
@Override
public void progress(Progress progress) {
double percentage = progress.out_time_ns / duration_ns;
// Print out interesting information about the progress
System.out.println(String.format(
"[%.0f%%] status:%s frame:%d time:%s ms fps:%.0f speed:%.2fx",
percentage * 100,
progress.status,
progress.frame,
FFmpegUtils.toTimecode(progress.out_time_ns, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS),
progress.fps.doubleValue(),
progress.speed
));
}
});
job.run();
Building & Releasing
If you wish to make changes, then building and releasing is simple:
# To build
mvn
# To test
mvn test
# To release (pushing jar to maven central)
mvn release:prepare
mvn release:perform
# To publish javadoc
git checkout ffmpeg-0.x
mvn clean javadoc:aggregate scm-publish:publish-scm
Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu
We only the support the original FFmpeg, not the libav version. Before Ubuntu 12.04, and in 15.04
and later the original FFmpeg is shipped. If you have to run on a version with libav, you can install
FFmpeg from a PPA, or using the static build. More information here
