How to achieve transcoding, such as converting H264 video streams to FLVs

[operutka]

So is there any question or your question is in the title?

[operutka]

In any case, FLV is just a container (similar to MP4), so there would be no transcoding. The FLV container would still contain h264 video stream (unless you wanted to transcode your video into h265 for example).

There are usage examples where you can see how to use this library: https://github.com/angelcam/rust-ac-ffmpeg/tree/master/ac-ffmpeg/examples

thankyou,My statements are indeed incorrect. How can I convert the Opus of the audio to Acc

[operutka]

You'll need to decode the Opus audio and encode it as AAC. Check the examples. There are sample apps for decoding and encoding. You can find inspiration there.

[operutka]

This is completely wrong:

match VideoEncoder::builder("flv") {
    Ok(video_encoder_build) => {
        match video_encoder_build
            .set_option("tune", "zerolatency")
            .set_option("preset", "ultrafast")
            .set_option("crf", "28")
            .set_option("c:a", "acc")
            .set_option("c:v","libx264")
            .set_option("f","flv")
            .height(480).width(640)
            .bit_rate(2500000)
            .pixel_format(PixelFormat::from_str("yuv420p").unwrap())
            .build()
        {
            ...
        }
    }
    ...
}

You cannot use the VideoEncoder struct the same way you're using the ffmpeg app. This crate is not the ffmpeg app and it isn't a wrapper around the app either. It is a wrapper around the FFmpeg libraries - a lower-level interface used by the ffmpeg app.

You were able to build the video encoder mostly by accident because flv also happens to be a name of a video codec (it's more or less an alias for H.263) and the options that aren't valid in this context are simply ignored. But clearly you aren't trying to transcode your video into H.263. Based on the parameters, I assume that you're trying to put an H.264 video into an FLV container.

I strongly suggest making yourself familiar with the concept of media codecs, containers and the difference between them. You should be also familiar with the FFmpeg API documentation because this crate is only a wrapper around the FFmpeg libraries. And, please, go through the code examples in this repository carefully.

Once you've done that, you'll understand that:

1. You'll need to demux your container first.
2. Then you'll need to process the selected streams in the container individually. You can either: a. copy the packets as they are into your muxer or b. transcode the packets into a different audio/video codec.
3. Finally you'll need to mux the individual streams into the output container.

After reading your answer, I noticed my mistake. I know what you mean is that FLV is not an encoding format. I need to decode and transcode the video and audio streams separately. However, how can I merge the two streams into the FLV container afterwards? Thank you for your answer
