It's a chore to properly install ffmpeg and all the codecs, and it's also not very easy to split video files. So that's why this image was created.
**Usage**
docker run -it --rm \
-u "your-user-id" \
-v /directory-with-video:/tmp/video-in \
-v your-output-directory:/tmp/video-out \
ivandotv/ffmpeg-split-video "split" "big-video-file.avi" 4
run
command can work without mounting the output directory, in that case newly created video files will be put in the same directory as the original video file.- Default split is
2
(example uses4
). - You can also call
ffmpeg
orffprobe
directly (instead of "split") - When video file is split, it's not re-encoded.
Actual command line parameters that are going to be passed to ffmpeg
binary are:
ffmpeg -i "big-video-file" -ss (start time) -to (end time ) -acodec copy -vcodec copy "output-file-directory"
There is also a helper script (./tools/split-video) that is used as a wrapper for the split
functionality of the container.
You can put it somewhere in your $PATH
so you can call it from everywhere.
Use it like this:
split-video video_file [number_of_parts] [output_folder]
The script will launch the container, and pass all the required parameters for the split
functionality (mounting volumes, passing correct arguments etc...)
