FFmpeg iOS -> output file is invalid

问题

I'm using following library to convert mkv to mp4: https://github.com/SterlingOnLoop/FFmpegWrapper.

- (void)convertUsingFFmpegWrapper {
    NSString *mp4Extension = @"mp4";
    NSString *mkvExtension = @"mkv";

    NSString *videoName = @"file1";
//    NSString *videoName = @"file2";

    NSString *mkvVideoFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:videoName ofType:mkvExtension];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = paths[0];
    NSString *mp4VideoFilePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@.%@", documentsDirectory, videoName, mp4Extension];

    FFmpegWrapper *ffmpegWrapper = [[FFmpegWrapper alloc] init];
    NSDictionary *options = @{kFFmpegInputFormatKey: mkvExtension, kFFmpegOutputFormatKey: mp4Extension};
    [ffmpegWrapper convertInputPath:mkvVideoFilePath outputPath:mp4VideoFilePath options:options progressBlock:nil completionBlock:^(BOOL success, NSError *error) {
        if (success && !error) {
            // delete mp4 file
        } else if (error) {
            NSLog(@"Error during .MKV -> .MP4 conversion occured: %@", error.localizedDescription);
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Unknown error during .MKV -> .MP4 conversion occured.");
        }
    }];
}

Here are the values from LLDB about the automatically detected codec types:

(lldb) po inputStream.codecName
aac

(lldb) po outputStream.codecName
aac

I should mention here, that originally the file is generated on Linux with following codecs: vaapiencode_h264 for video and faac for sound.

The issue is that the file simply does not work. I get huge amount of logs in the console, where most important is:

[aac @ 0x7f7f65019200] Format aac detected only with low score of 1, misdetection possible!

Inside the library, the following function is used:

int streamInfoValue = avformat_find_stream_info(inputFormatContext, NULL);

And exactly this line does the whole mess with the logs. Obviously, without this line I receive an error with invalid argument.

When that line is turned on, the .mp4 file is generated. It lasts > 5 minutes, while input file is 11 seconds long. It cannot be played using VLC on my mac (seems to be broken). I get following errors (I'm pasting few of them, full track can be found here, it's too long to quote it here):

[aac @ 0x7ff07c00b000] More than one AAC RDB per ADTS frame is not implemented. Update your FFmpeg version to the newest one from Git. If the problem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented.

Any idea how to simply convert mkv to mp4? I don't have any idea why the errors occurs. I'd claim that the file is not aac, but the linux uses this encoding, so it should be valid.

回答1:

I've checked your file. The main issues I can see is that :

There is no audio bitrate (ie: 128kbps should be set)
Somehow the metadata lists the AAC version as 4 (what does that even mean??).
The codec ID should be 40 but in the MKV's metadata it's listed as A_AAC/MPEG4/LC
There is no flag for Channel Position in the bytes (ie: Front L+R)

Anyways ffmpeg (command line) converted your MKV without any errors.
Let me know if this new re-encoded MP4 version works okay on your side.

The ffmpeg settings were simply : ffmpeg -i mkv_demo.mkv -c:v copy demo_new.mp4

Unfortunately I don't code in iOS so I couldn't show you a "fixed" code. Maybe someone can help later on. Look at this other Answer for extra hints (make it work like shown command line snippet above)...
