Converting jpg's to mp4 using FFmPy


Converting jpg's to mp4 using FFmPy



I have a file full of jpg images that I would like to convert into an mp4 video. I have managed to do this on the command line using


cat path/to/pictures/%d.jpg | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -i - output.mp4



However when I try and go about doing it via FFmPy:


ff = ffmpy.FFmpeg(
inputs={'path/to/pictures/%d.jpg': None},
outputs={'output.mp4': None})

ff.cmd
ff.run()



I will run into the error:


FFRuntimeError: `ffmpeg -i path/to/pictures/1.jpg -f output.mp4` exited with status 1

STDOUT:


STDERR:



I'm really not sure what the issue is here, any change I make results in the same error. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.





What happens if you run the command from the error directly? Rather than the piping command.

If you mean run the ff.cmd output in the command line directly, it will get to /path/to/pictures/101.jpg and ask 'File '/home/matthewl/Downloads/Eyes_side_to_side/101.jpg' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N], continuously till the last jpg`

/path/to/pictures/101.jpg


'File '/home/matthewl/Downloads/Eyes_side_to_side/101.jpg' already exists. Overwrite ? [y/N]





Are you using a python for-loop? How is the %d in '/path/to/pictures/%d.jpg' getting substituted by numeric strings? (We need to prevent that from happening...)

%d


'/path/to/pictures/%d.jpg'





I'm not using any loops, literally just the code above, it's more or less a copy from the examples FFmPy give in their documentation, i thought the %d would list all my jpg files which are '1.jpg' all the way to '500.jpg'

%d





I mean if it helps get to the core of the problem, I can write the path incorrectly or just try and convert one image to an mp4 and I will still get the same error.

Since you know the ffmpeg command which works from the command line, it might be easier to simply call it using subprocess:


ffmpeg


subprocess


import subprocess

cmd = ['ffmpeg', '-i', '/path/to/pictures/%d.jpg', 'output.mp4']
retcode = subprocess.call(cmd)
if not retcode == 0:
raise ValueError('Error {} executing command: {}'.format(retcode, ' '.join(cmd)))

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
