[OBSOLETE][APP] Create Launch Video's from playfield with overlay

[dewo]

thank you very much for answering me I know you do everything selflessly but there are people who want to make this a business
I have been a fan of pinball since I was a child.13 years ago, I discovered visual pinball and did not stop until I was able to do my virtual pinball
I also thought it was because my videos were F4v so I converted one to mp4 but it didn't work either
this happened when i run the cmd

run ffmpeg.txt

[dewo]

these are my videos and my tables

[dewo]

thanks for your time and a gift goes as a ringtone

launchmp3.mp3

i think you are translating english to some other language and your translator added extra spaces to the command mike asked you to run in cmd

[dewo]

sorry there I go again

Unknown encoder 'h264_nvenc'

run ffmpeg.txt

[joyrider3774]

@Mike_da_Spike 

Unknown encoder 'h264_nvenc'

not sure if that works if you don't have an nvidia cart .. do you detect video cart or is there a new option to disable nvenc ?

it's also possible ffmpeg.exe from @dewo is too old, have you tried replacing ffmpeg.exe with newer version (make backup of the one you have now)

[dewo]

i will update ffmpeg to see what happ

Thank @joyrider3774 for supporting why I was in hibernate mode , but think you should go in hybernate too .

This option was already in there. When detecting a NVDIA card , ffmpeg will use the nvenc codec (much faster). I never realized that people could/should use an old version of ffmpeg. 

I'm in progress to rewrite the tool in vb.ner i stead of vbscript (because the vbscript is shown as a virus). I will do a check if nvenc is supported 

[dewo]

update ffmpeg and this is the output

 

run ffmpeg.txt

[dewo]

Thank @joyrider3774 and @Mike_da_Spike

the filter to connect this from ffmpeg

[dewo]

11.93 hflip

Flip the input video horizontally.

For example, to horizontally flip the input video with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i in.avi -vf "hflip" out.avi

[scutters]

Still looks like the same version of ffmpeg;

ffmpeg version N-76648-g6f520ce Copyright (c) 2000-2015 the FFmpeg developersbuilt with gcc 5.2.0 (GCC)

Did you update the copy in the pinballx folder?

¿Actualizaste la copia en la carpeta pinballx?

you're right i'll change to see what happens

This version is the one in my PBXrecorder_64 with which I record all my videos from the tables

[dewo]

change the version of the ffmpeg and continue with the same result the files are recorded but without video content

run ffmpeg.txt

CreateLaunchingVideos.log

[Mike_da_Spike]

The run ffmpeg.txt has somewhere an issue, but cannot identify it. I asume it errors with the the message

Quote

Filter hflip has an unconnected output

Does it creates the mp4 file ?

The run of the program checks the return code of ffmpeg. If this is 0 the videos should be created without an issue.

Can you post one of the created MP4's, to check if it is not a codec issue ?

[joyrider3774]

@Mike_da_Spike i ran his command and i see similar error, i have not tried using the app. but from his ffmpeg.txt he is running this:

 

ffmpeg.exe -y -i "C:\PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\Xenon (Bally 1980).f4v" -r 12.8 -thread_queue_size 512 -i "C:\PinballX\Media\Overlay
\T2%03d.png" -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=1920:1080[scaled];[scaled][1:v]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)/2,fps=fps=30,vflip,hflip" -ss 00:00:00 -
t 00:00:05 -an -vcodec:a h264_nvenc -b:v 5M -f MP4"C:\PinballX\Media\Loading Videos\Xenon (Bally 1980).MP4"

the fault comes from the last line MP4"C:\PinballX\Media\Loading Videos\Xenon (Bally 1980).MP4" it needs a space between MP4 and the filename otherwise it gives that error about hflip

this the corrected command he should run

 

ffmpeg.exe -y -i "C:\PinballX\Media\Visual Pinball\Table Videos\Xenon (Bally 1980).f4v" -r 12.8 -thread_queue_size 512 -i "C:\PinballX\Media\Overlay
\T2%03d.png" -filter_complex "[0:v]scale=1920:1080[scaled];[scaled][1:v]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)/2,fps=fps=30,vflip,hflip" -ss 00:00:00 -
t 00:00:05 -an -vcodec:a h264_nvenc -b:v 5M -f MP4 "C:\PinballX\Media\Loading Videos\Xenon (Bally 1980).MP4"

 

and according to the app log the video's should have been created but maybe he is not using the derandomizer plugin to actually see the videos inside pinballx

[dewo]

the derandomizer plugin i am using it because i create some 5s mp4 videos to test if that plugin worked and it works.
I moved all those videos from the loadin videos folder so that creating launcher videos would make new videos from my F4v and overlay the pngs from the overlay folder but the result is that the videos are created but they don't have content inside

[dewo]

I suppose it must be a problem of the FFMPEG that's why it tells me in the output
  Filter hflip has an unconnected output
I will try to make some F4v and Mp4 videos of my tables with the new version of FFMPEG that I installed to see if it works

[Mike_da_Spike]

Can you post 1 of the mp4's that my program mentioned to be created successfully?

I'm really curious what it created.

 

[dewo]

these are some of the videos created by the app

[Mike_da_Spike]

Can you post 1 in a zip file?

Or send via pm ?
