yeah imgur can't handle pngs properly at all. Theyre drat near lossless on your machine but the second it touches imgur it gets converted to a jpg with quality setting of 1. A comparable .jpg will still look perfect and retain fine noise on imgur, but pngs get turned to piss

lolll the network approached us because one of our shows has taken a nose dive in quality. of course i've known this for a long time and it's because the EP works in another state and has no idea what's going on and the poor editor is the one doing all the work.

anyhow i guess there was a conference call where all the higher ups realized she has no idea what's going on and she's basically paid to do nothing. feels really good :cool:

is there a way to extract the i-frames and their timecodes from a video file, using, let's say ffmpeg. other tools are fine as long as they cost nothing.

i need it for a project

from here:
http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-163553.html

quote:

Using ffmpeg you can extract all key frames and their corresponding timecodes with the following code:
ffmpeg -vf select="eq(pict_type\,PICT_TYPE_I)" -i yourvideo.mp4 -vsync 2 -s 73x41 -f image2 thumbnails-%02d.jpeg -loglevel debug 2>&1 | grep "pict_type:I -> select:1" | cut -d " " -f 6 - > keyframe-timecodes.txt

What follows -vf in a ffmpeg command line is a Filtergraph description. The select filter selects frames to pass in output. The constant of the filter is “pict_type” and the value “PICT_TYPE_I”. In short, we are only passing key frames to the output.

-vsync 2 prevents ffmpeg to generate more than one copy for each key frame.

-f image2 writes video frames to image files. The output filenames are specified by a pattern, which can be used to produce sequentially numbered series of files. The pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0Nd".

-loglevel debug 2 > keyframe-timecodes.txt outputs:
[select @ 0000000001A88BE0] n:0 pts:0 t:0.000000 pos:1953 interlace_type:P key:0 pict_type:I -> select:1.000000
[select @ 0000000001A88BE0] n:1 pts:40000 t:0.040000 pos:4202 interlace_type:P key:0 pict_type:P -> select:0.000000

I use “>&1 | grep "pict_type:I -> select:1" | cut -d " " -f 6 -” to output something more readable:
t:0.000000
t:1.360000

Finally, I can convert “keyframe-timecodes.txt” into a chapter navigation list and use the thumbnails to navigate the video:
<a onclick="jwplayer().seek(0); return false" href="#"><img src="thumbnails-01.jpeg"></a>
<a onclick="jwplayer().seek(1.36); return false" href="#"><img src="thumbnails-02.jpg</a>

You can see the full explanation and a demo here:

i know the iframe select works, what i'm less sure about is grabbing the timecodes. i wasn't able to do it when i was trying to do the same thing, but i didnt think of spitting the debug to stdout. let me know if it works because i just ended up guessing the timecode based on the keyframe interval (which was good enough for my purposes)
