In this java application, I am trying to convert a video into small clips.
Here is the implementation class for the same
package ffmpeg.clip.process;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.LocalTime;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import ffmpeg.clip.utils.VideoConstant;
import ffmpeg.clip.utils.VideoUtils;
/*
* @author Nitishkumar Singh
* @Description: class will use ffmpeg to break an source video into clips
*/
public class VideoToClip {
/*
* Prevent from creating instance
*/
private VideoToClip() {
}
/**
* Get Video Duration is milliseconds
*
* @Exception IOException - File does not exist VideoException- Video File have data issues
*/
static LocalTime getDuration(String sourceVideoFile) throws Exception {
if (!Paths.get(sourceVideoFile).toFile().exists())
throw new Exception("File does not exist!!");
Process proc = new ProcessBuilder(VideoConstant.SHELL, VideoConstant.SHELL_COMMAND_STRING_ARGUMENT,
String.format(VideoConstant.DURATION_COMMAND, sourceVideoFile)).start();
boolean error Occurred = (new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getErrorStream())).lines()
.count() > VideoConstant.ZERO);
String durationInSeconds = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream())).lines()
.collect(Collectors.joining(System.lineSeparator()));
proc.destroy();
if (error Occurred || (durationInSeconds.length() == VideoConstant.ZERO))
throw new Exception("Video File have some issues!");
else
return VideoUtils.parseHourMinuteSecondMillisecondFormat(durationInSeconds);
}
/**
* Create Clips for Video Using Start and End Second
*
* @Exception IOException - Clip Creation Process Failed InterruptedException - Clip Creation task get's failed
*/
static String toClipProcess(String sourceVideo, String outputDirectory, LocalTime start, LocalTime end,
String fileExtension) throws IOException, InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
String clipName = String.format(VideoConstant.CLIP_FILE_NAME,
VideoUtils.getHourMinuteSecondMillisecondFormat(start),
VideoUtils.getHourMinuteSecondMillisecondFormat(end), fileExtension);
String command = String.format(VideoConstant.FFMPEG_OUTPUT_COMMAND, sourceVideo,
VideoUtils.getHourMinuteSecondMillisecondFormat(start),
VideoUtils.getHourMinuteSecondMillisecondFormat(end.minus(start.toNanoOfDay(), ChronoUnit.NANOS)),
outputDirectory, clipName);
LocalTime startTime = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println("Clip Name: " + clipName);
System.out.println("FFMPEG Process Execution Started");
CompletableFuturecompletableFuture = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> { try {
return executeProcess(command);
} catch (InterruptedException | IOException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
});
completableFuture.get();
// remove
LocalTime endTime = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println("Clip Name: " + clipName);
System.out.println("FFMPEG Process Execution Finished");
System.out.println("Duration: " + Duration.between(startTime, endTime).toMillis() / 1000);
return clipName;
}
/**
* Create and Execute Process for each command
*/
static Process executeProcess(String command) throws InterruptedException, IOException {
Process clipProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
clipProcess.waitFor();
return clipProcess;
}
}
The Entire Solution is available at Github. I am actually using CompletableFuture and running FFMPEG commands by creating Java Processes. The time it takes is too much. For a 40 minutes video, it takes more than 49 minutes, on a 64 CPU machine. I am trying to reduce the core size to 8 or something, as well improve its performance, as this kind of performance won't be acceptable for any kind of application.
22-jan-2017 update
One Update, I have changed the FFMPEG command to create clips and updated to FFMPEG 3, but there is no improvement.
ffmpeg -y -i INPUT_FILE_PATH -ss TIME_STAMP -t DURATION_TO_CLIP OUTPUT_FILE_PATH
That is a natural restriction on video encoding. On modern machines 1 minute of 720p video is encoded approximately in 1 minute.
You can save a lot of time if you do not need re-encoding (i.e. changing codec or video size) by using -codec copy ffmpeg option.
Also you said you have 64 cores, but your code uses only 1 thread for encoding. Use -threads 0 to allow ffmpeg to choose by itself.
Also, if you need to perform this in ffmpeg Java - give Jaffree a chance (I'm an author).
