I have few mp4 video files that i wants to merge them.

I am using this commands to convert .mp4 to .ts and then merge them together. referance

ffmpeg -i part1.mp4  -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts -y part1.ts # executes successfully

ffmpeg -i part2.mp4  -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts -y part2.ts # executes successfully

ffmpeg -i "concat:part1.ts|part2.ts"  -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -y full.mp4 # Error

Error:(but execution still continues) input packets too small error applying bitstream filters to an output packet for stream #0:1 past duration 0.999992 too large

it take more than hours to do merging of 2 files which it doesn't take with other video files ( i think there is problem with part2.mp4 but don't know how to solve it )

Here is video info

part1.mp4

can someone suggest me what change do i make in command to merge this videos ?

  • Please provide the full, uncut command line output from your first three commands. – slhck May 31 '17 at 12:23
  • @slhck updated details with full output – JAGGADAKU May 31 '17 at 12:34
  • You cannot join these two files without reencoding. They have different H264 profiles and different resolution. – Daniel B May 31 '17 at 12:38
  • @DanielB It's technically possible to join them but the output will not look as expected or may not play. – slhck May 31 '17 at 12:42
  • @JAGGADAKU I asked about the output of the three commands you were running, not the output of `ffmpeg -i part1.mp4`. (You need to disable `-v quiet`.) – slhck May 31 '17 at 12:43
  • @DanielB i am able to convert to .ts and then merge (both to .ts) but when i tries to convert it back to mp4 it shows many errors – JAGGADAKU May 31 '17 at 12:46

There is a problem with your input: Your input videos have different frame dimensions (720×576 vs. 640×480). In such a case you cannot just concatenate the raw bitstreams. Well, you can, but then the playback will not support switching the resolution – it will just show at the resolution of your first input video, or may crash some players.

Instead, you should probably decode the videos and bring them to a common format (frame dimensions, frame rate, color space, pixel aspect ratio, …), then re-encode them.

The above can be achieved with the concat filter, but first, you have to scale/pad either one of those inputs, e.g. by upscaling part2.mp4 to 720×576 (with padding):

ffmpeg -i part1.mp4 -i part2.mp4 -filter_complex "\
[0:v]setsar=1[0v]; \
[1:v]scale=720:576:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,setsar=1,\
     pad=720:576:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2[1v]; \
[0v][0:a][1v][1:a]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[outv][outa] \
" -map "[outv]" -map "[outa]" \
-c:v libx264 -crf 23 \
output.mp4

See this post and the FFmpeg Wiki for more info on scaling and concatenating. And read the H.264 encoding guide on how to set the quality for the output.

  • Thank you for response......but above command says `No such filter: 'force_original_aspect_ratio' Error initializing complex filters. Invalid argument` i am running windows – JAGGADAKU May 31 '17 at 14:03
  • Sorry, there was a typo, please try again. – slhck May 31 '17 at 14:18
  • `[Parsed_concat_2 @ 04930620] Input link in1:v0 parameters (size 720x576, SAR 1:1) do not match the corresponding output link in0:v0 paramet ers (720x576, SAR 128:117) [Parsed_concat_2 @ 04930620] Failed to configure output pad on Parsed_concat_2 Error configuring complex filters. Invalid argument` Now this is problem........i am sorry but i don't have any idea about how this filter complex works – JAGGADAKU May 31 '17 at 14:42
  • True, the pixel aspect ratios are different for the two files as well, so you need to change that to 1 as well. The complex filter is a little complicated to understand, yeah. Providing your input files and the requested output would (have) help(ed). – slhck May 31 '17 at 14:58
  • another question. I already have libx264 enabled on my ffmpeg then why it says that `[NULL @ 047eb220] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'libx264' libx264: Invalid argument` – JAGGADAKU May 31 '17 at 15:52
  • Then you're using a wrong command line option. If you want x264 as codec, you need `-c:v libx264`. – slhck May 31 '17 at 19:47
