Smaller mp4 file duration time










0














I'm creating an mp4 file at 60 FPS from a measurement which gives me frames at a variable FPS. I've done this by adding the same frame until the timestamp it give's me a new frame. Even the frame count * FPS should give me a specific duration time the final file has a smaller duration time. For example from a duration time of 8 minutes the final file has only 5 minutes. I use opencv 3.4.3 with H264 codec. Why is this happens?



This is the function:



 void ExporterChannel::ProcessMFCImage(Timestamp _timestamp, const std::string& _filename, const std::string& _data)

static bool first = true;
static long long accumulated_time_error = 0;
static long long first_timestamp;

static structs::SensorNearData::MFC::CameraImage mfc_image_struct;
static pb::SensorNearData::MFC::CameraImage mfc_image_pb;

if (first)

first = false;
mfc_image_pb.ParseFromString(_data);
pb2structs::convert(mfc_image_pb, mfc_image_struct);
first_timestamp = _timestamp;
Size frameSize(mfc_image_struct.image_width, mfc_image_struct.image_height);
bool color_mode_rgb = (config_.color == "true");
if (color_mode_rgb == true)

video_file.open(_filename, CV_FOURCC('H', '2', '6', '4'), FPS, frameSize, true);

else

video_file.open(_filename, CV_FOURCC('H', '2', '6', '4'), FPS, frameSize, false);

// check if we succeeded
if (!video_file.isOpened())

ExporterException("Could not open the output video file for writen");
return;

HandleMFCImage(mfc_image_struct);

else

if ((long long)_timestamp < (first_timestamp + STEP))

accumulated_time_error += first_timestamp + STEP - (long long)_timestamp;

else

while ((long long)_timestamp >= (first_timestamp + 2 * STEP))

HandleMFCImage(mfc_image_struct);
first_timestamp += STEP;

accumulated_time_error += (long long)_timestamp - (first_timestamp + STEP);
if (accumulated_time_error >= STEP)

HandleMFCImage(mfc_image_struct);
accumulated_time_error -= STEP;


mfc_image_pb.ParseFromString(_data);
pb2structs::convert(mfc_image_pb, mfc_image_struct);
first_timestamp = (long long)_timestamp;
HandleMFCImage(mfc_image_struct);

    can you share code or pseudo code on how you detect frame drops and add duplicated frames? Probably there is a bug in it.

  • Hi Micka. I've added the code. tks. HandleMFCImage just adds the frame to the video.

  • could you change it to something like double currentFps = (currentTimestamp - firstTimestamp)/numberOfRecordedFrames; while(currentFps < FPS) addImage;? Or at least just compute the totalRecordedFPS in this way and check whether this explains the problem.
