NAME

FFmpeg::Command - A wrapper class for ffmpeg/avconv command line utility.

DESCRIPTION

A simple interface for using ffmpeg command line utility with fallback to use the newer avconv utility if ffmpeg is not installed.

SYNOPSIS

use FFmpeg::Command;

my $ffmpeg = FFmpeg::Command->new('/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg');

# Set timeout
$ffmpeg->timeout(300);

# ga: global  option a, gb: global  option b
# ia: infile  option a, ib: infile  option b
# oa: outfile option a, ob: outfile option b

# ffmpeg -y -ga -gb -ia -ib -i filename1 -oa -ob output_file
$ffmpeg->global_options(qw/-ga -gb/);
$ffmpeg->infile_options(qw/-ia -ib/);
$ffmpeg->outfile_options(qw/-oa -ob/);
$ffmpeg->input_file('filename1');
$ffmpeg->output_file('output_file');

my $result = $ffmpeg->exec();
croak $ffmpeg->errstr unless $result;

# ffmpeg -y -i filename1 -ga -gb -ia -ib -oa -ob output_file
$ffmpeg->options(qw/-ga -gb -ia -ib -oa -ob/);
$ffmpeg->input_file('filename1');
$ffmpeg->output_file('output_file');

$ffmpeg->exec();

# ffmpeg -y -ga -gb -ia -ib -i filename1 -ia -ib -i filename2 -oa -ob output_file
# Infile options are adopted for every input files
$ffmpeg->global_options(qw/-ga -gb/);
$ffmpeg->infile_options(qw/-ia -ib/);
$ffmpeg->outfile_options(qw/-oa -ob/);
$ffmpeg->input_file(['filename1','filename2']);
$ffmpeg->output_file('output_file');

$ffmpeg->exec()

# ffmpeg -y -ga -gb -ia1 -ib1 -i filename1 -ia2 -ib2 -i filename2 -oa -ob output_file
# Each input file has different infile options
$ffmpeg->options(qw/-ga -gb -ia1 -ib1 -i filename1 -ia2 -ib2 -i filename2 -oa -ob output_file/);

$ffmpeg->exec()

# This sample code takes a screen shot.
$ffmpeg->input_file($input_file);
$ffmpeg->output_file($output_file);

$ffmpeg->options(
    '-f'       => 'image2',
    '-pix_fmt' => 'jpg',
    '-vframes' => 1,
    '-ss'      => 30,
    '-s'       => '320x240',
    '-an',
);

$ffmpeg->exec()

# Below are old style example(may be obsoleted at future release)
$ffmpeg->input_options({
    file => $input_file,
});

# Convert a video file into iPod playable format.
$ffmpeg->output_options({
    file   => $output_file,
    device => 'ipod',
});

# This is same as above.
$ffmpeg->output_options({
    file                => $output_file,
    format              => 'mp4',
    video_codec         => 'mpeg4',
    bitrate             => 600,
    frame_size          => '320x240',
    audio_codec         => 'libaac',
    audio_sampling_rate => 48000,
    audio_bit_rate      => 64,
});

# Convert a video file into PSP playable format.
$ffmpeg->output_options({
    file  => $output_file,
    device => 'psp',
});

# This is same as above.
$ffmpeg->output_options({
    file                => $output_file,
    format              => 'psp',
    video_codec         => 'mpeg4',
    bitrate             => 600,
    frame_size          => '320x240',
    audio_codec         => 'libaac',
    audio_sampling_rate => 48000,
    audio_bit_rate      => 64,
});
