Delivery to Folder: Labels for suffix and prefix swapped

Post by bephop »

Hi,

in the settings for delivery into a folder, the labels for suffix and prefix are swapped.
Normally the suffix comes after the name and the prefix is before the name.

Hi bephop and thank you for using FFAStrans and thank you for reporting this stupid mistake :oops:
It will of course be fixed in the next release.

Hi steipal,

thank you. And many thanks for programming this very cool tool! I think it's the best watchfolder tool for ffmpeg! Support for growing files and such a nice status monitor is very rare.
I recently used it for professional TV production, transcoding DNxHD to MP4 and vice versa. And the best: I used a serivce wrapper to install FFAStrans as a background service. But you can still open a second instance of FFAStrans to change the configuration. And those changes take instantly effect on the background service.
Maybe you can think about an "install as a service" button ;)
I just had to use a custom ffmpeg command because your DNxHD preset doesn't fit to our requirements.

Hi bephop,

I'm very glad you like FFAStrans and that you find new ways of utilizing the program! :-) A service-option like you suggest will probably find its way into FFAStrans within a few versions but currently it's is not my top priority.

What are the options you're missing in the DNxHD encoder?

Hi steipal,

mainly its the audio part.
Your setup generates one audio stream with e.g. 8 channels in 16bit PCM. But our video server requieres 8 audio streams with one channel in 24bit PCM. Same if you only use 4 channels. Every channel has to be a single mono stream with 24bit encoding.
If the source file has only 2 channels, the other channels should be muted. So you have to map a mute audio source to those streams.
So if i want to transcode from a MP4 file (e.g. shot with a DSLR/GoPro, o a final movie, made for online content. or maybe a youtube video) the whole ffmpeg string looks like this:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -f lavfi -i aevalsrc=0 -vcodec dnxhd -vf scale=1920:1080 -b:v 120M -pix_fmt yuv422p -r 25 -flags +ildct+ilme -top 1 -dc 10 -qmax 20 -lmin "1*QP2LAMBDA" -rc_max_vbv_use 1 -rc_min_vbv_use 1 -maxrate 120M -bufsize 8000k -map_metadata 1 -acodec pcm_s24le -ar 48000 -ac 1 -map 0:v -map 0:1 -map_channel 0.1.0:0.1 -map 0:1 -map_channel 0.1.1:0.2 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -map 1:0 -shortest -color_range 1 -color_primaries 1 -color_trc 1 -f mov output.mov

This includes color conversion, interlacing and audio mapping. The ouput file is compatible with an EVS video server.

Here is a media info of a sample video in DNxHD with 8 Channels:

In the future I will look at the option to choose between one stream mixed audio and separate mono streams on all built in broadcast encoders. Thanks for notifying :-)
