FFMPEG help required #3

Closed gerb82 closed 5 years ago

gerb82 commented 5 years ago

So, as I've come to learn, the scouting videos the system works with are initially very big. 4GB big or something ridiculous like that. We can't work with that. The previous scouting system managed to compress those videos to about 0.8-1GB. This was done by lowering the fps and video resolution, through FFMPEG. Problem is: I have no clue how FFMPEG works. Which is bad. Any help finding good sources about FFMPEG or even help learning it would be GREATLY appreciated, as sadly, I don't have the time or mental fortitude to research into it on my own and learn it from the ground up until this weekend. It's also gonna be useful for a few other projects (quickly and reliably transferring camera footage from the robot to shuffleboard for example), so that could also be nice.

it seems that i now have a better understanding of ffmpeg. probably gonna use javacv's ffmpeg thingy, as it seems to be pretty reliable. now to learning yaml... ;-;
