FFmpeg::Command(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation FFmpeg::Command(3)

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

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

    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(

    $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.
