2. H.264编码优化参数tune
--tune Tune the settings for a particular type of source
or situation
Overridden by user settings.
Multiple tunings are separated by commas.
Only one psy tuning can be used at a time.
- film (psy tuning):
--deblock -1:-1 --psy-rd :0.15
- animation (psy tuning):
--bframes {+2} --deblock 1:1
--psy-rd 0.4: --aq-strength 0.6
--ref {Double if >1 else 1}
- grain (psy tuning):
--aq-strength 0.5 --no-dct-decimate
--deadzone-inter 6 --deadzone-intra 6
--deblock -2:-2 --ipratio 1.1
--pbratio 1.1 --psy-rd :0.25
--qcomp 0.8
- stillimage (psy tuning):
--aq-strength 1.2 --deblock -3:-3
--psy-rd 2.0:0.7
- psnr (psy tuning):
--aq-mode 0 --no-psy
- ssim (psy tuning):
--aq-mode 2 --no-psy
- fastdecode:
--no-cabac --no-deblock --no-weightb
--weightp 0
- zerolatency:
--bframes 0 --force-cfr --no-mbtree
--sync-lookahead 0 --sliced-threads
--rc-lookahead 0
- film
- animation
- grain
- stillimage
- psnr
- ssim
- fastdecode
- zerolatency
如上，可使用以上几个参数进行调优编码，如使用zerolatency会提升效率，因为它降低了因编码导致的延迟。
-
3. H.264的profile(档次)与level(等级)设置
使用baseline profile编码一个H.264视频，不会包含B Slice：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v baseline -level 3.1 -s 352x288 -an -y -t 10 output_baseline.ts
使用ffprobe查看output_baseline.ts中每帧包含B帧的情况：
aiputekiMacBook-Pro:bin aipu$ ffprobe -v quiet -show_frames -select_streams v output_baseline.ts |grep "pict_type=B"|wc -l
0
使用high profile编码一个H.264视频，包含B Slice：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -profile:v high -level 3.1 -s 352x288 -an -y -t 10 output_high.ts
使用ffprobe查看output_high.ts中每帧包含B帧的情况：
aiputekiMacBook-Pro:bin aipu$ ffprobe -v quiet -show_frames -select_streams v output_high.ts |grep "pict_type=B"|wc -l
173
如上，baseline profile包含0个B帧，high profile包含173个B帧。
-
4. 控制场景切换关键帧插入参数sc_threshold
不使用ffmpeg命令控制编码时的GOP大小：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -g 50 output.mp4
如上，使用工具查看GOP间隔不是均匀的。
使用ffmpeg命令控制编码时的GOP大小：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -g 50 -sc_threshold 0 -y output.mp4
如上，使用工具查看GOP间隔是均匀的。
-
5. 设置x264内部参数x264opts
该参数可以控制帧的顺序及出现频率
设置GOP为50帧，并且不出现B帧：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -x264opts "bframes=0" -g 50 -sc_threshold 0 output.mp4
如图，使用工具查看output.mp4中并不包含B帧。
设置GOP中每2个P帧之间存放3个B帧：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -x264opts "bframes=3:b-adapt=0" -g 50 -sc_threshold 0 output.mp4
如图，使用工具查看output.mp4中每2个P帧之间存放了3个B帧。
-
6. CBR恒定码率设置参数nal-hrd
设置VBR(可变码率)、CBR(恒定码率)，控制码率的波动，以及设置buffer的大小：
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -x264opts "bframes=10:b-adapt=0" -b:v 1000k -maxrate 1000k -minrate 1000k -bufsize 50k -nal-hrd cbr -g 50 -sc_threshold 0 output.ts
以上命令的具体分析如下：
- 设置B帧的个数，并且是每2个P帧之间包含10个B帧
- 设置视频码率为1000kbit/s
- 设置最大码率为1000kbit/s
- 设置最小码率为1000kbit/s
- 设置编码的buffer大小为50KB
- 设置H.264的编码HRD信号形式为CBR
- 设置GOP为50帧
- 设置场景切换不强行插入关键帧
