Error when encoding DJI phantom 4 mov files

[GammaScorpii]

I only get this error when it's from this specific camera:

Code: Select all

Encoding failed - No moov atom found. File might be corrupt!

One time I randomly got this message too when bypassing some of the resize and fps converter nodes:

Code: Select all

 Error encoding output stream 0:0. Source video size or other media properties might be incompatible with encoder.

I've tried a standard h264 encoder node as well as the custom prores_ks one I want to use:

Code: Select all

 -profile:v 0 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -qscale:v 9 -vendor ap10

Here's the mediainfo of one of the files:

I don't think its a problem with ffmpeg because I tried converting it directly (although it was with another version of ffmpeg probably) and it converted just fine. Any ideas?

Hm, it would be good to have the complete ffmpeg output. Can you please enable "log to files" in workflow properties->Special? After that, submit the job, wait for it to finish and open the directory that was there unter "log to files". Zip all files and upload them here.

Thanks,

No problem I can post something here on Monday.

Thanks!

Got the logs:

And the smallest sample clip I have (8MB) if anyone wants to test. This file and every other clip from the drone fails for me every time:

Just to update on this, I got it working by not using Custom ffmpeg node and instead used the ProRes AW/KS node. The problem with this node, though, is that I cannot get it to make a file with no audio tracks (like my source). For Proxy editing the file must have the same number of audio tracks to work. I've deselected Use audio in my A/V decoder node, Channel Mapper has the same problem where I cannot select 0 audio channels.

With the ProRes AW/KS node, if I select "Same as source" for discrete audio tracks, for some reason it creates a file with 32(!) channels.

If I bypass the A/V decoder, I get a mono audio channel, so not sure what to do?

EDIT:

Okay! Figured it out. If I uncheck "Video Codec" in my Custom ffmpeg node, and put the full ffmpeg command in the Options box e.g.

-an -c:v prores_ks -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -profile:v 0

It works as intended!

Sorry i missed that you sent log files, thats great!

from what i see in the log files you provided, the Settings used to encode are These:

Code: Select all

 -c:a libmp3lame  -b:a 128k  -profile:v 0 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -qscale:v 9 -vendor ap10 

are these the settings you did input into the custom ffmpeg node?
And regarding the prores/KS node, can you please quickly export your workflow and post it here?

cheers,

Hi emcodem, I solved it.

See my edit above.

Lots of playing around and testing revealed something about the "Video Codec" checkbox option in the Custom ffmpeg node. Using the full command without this for some reason fixed it for me.

Reading what you picked up from the log, it may just be that the codec checkbox, even for just video, might crash when you give it a file with no audio track (like from my drone)

Great stuff, congrats!
