Description

Summary of the bug:Trying to analyze the AVC_codec_not_recognized_right_video_sample.m2ts. ffmpeg does not recognize the AVC codec in the m2ts file.

Was using the command
$ ffmpeg -probesize 10240 -analyzeduration 1000 -i AVC_codec_not_recognized_right_video_sample.m2ts
ffmpeg -probesize 10240 -analyzeduration 1000 -i right_video_sample.m2ts

Component: FFmpegavcodec
Keywords: h264 mvc mpegts added; AVC m2ts removed
Priority: normalwish
Reproduced by developer: set
Status: newopen
Summary: AVC codec in m2ts file not recognized by ffmpegSupport mvc
Type: defectenhancement
Version: 2.0.1git-master

Please explain how the samples were created (did you use software to separate the two streams or do you have a device that produces two separate streams) and please provide both samples.

Replying to cehoyos:

Please explain how the samples were created (did you use software to separate the two streams or do you have a device that produces two separate streams) and please provide both samples.

I obtained the samples through a passthrough bluray rip using DVDFab from a 3D bluray. These streams have not been altered from the bluray in any way. I provided both samples, as stated in the bug report, under incoming/AVC_codec_in_m2ts_not_recognized/. Inside there are three files:

AVC_codec_not_recognized_README.txt
AVC_codec_not_recognized_right_video_sample.m2ts
AVC_codec_recognized_left_video_sample.m2ts

As stated before, AVC_codec_recognized_left_video_sample.m2ts's codec is recognized with ffmpeg and playable with mplayer, while AVC_codec_not_recognized_right_video_sample.m2ts 's (same AVC) codec

is not recognized by ffmpeg. mediainfo is able to recognize the codec in both files.

Please let me know if I can provide any more information. I greatly appreciate all of your assistance and help in this matter.

comment:3 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 10 years ago

(Sorry that I missed the uploaded files)

Am I correct that the original files on the Bluray are named 00001.MTS, 00002.MTS, ... and that they contain two video streams (the "left" and the "right" one) in one file and that DVDFab created the files you uploaded by separating the video streams? Or do I misunderstand? (Sorry, I don't have a bluray player.)

Or do I misunderstand? (Sorry, I don't have a bluray player.)

The (full, not sample) files are named 0014.m2ts (left I believe) and 0015.m2ts (right I believe). Each contains one video stream, the left containing sound and subtitle, the right containing neither. I'm not certain how the files are exactly contained on the disk, if separation was involved or not when they were created. From my past experience in passthrough with the software though, it would seem the files are exact duplicates of the contents on the disk. (There isn't a way I know of to check this for certain, since the disc needs to be decrypted to be viewed and DVDFab will not let me look at exactly which m2ts file(s) represent each stream.) You understand correctly, from what I can gather. (I don't have a bluray "player" in the sense either, just a bluray sata drive.) Thanks again for all of your work, I greatly appreciate your and all of the developers' help. ffmpeg has, and always will be, my one stop software for encoding.

My JVC Everio GS-TD1 camcorder produces these files as well. If I'm not mistaken, there are actually two different formats that get called MVC. One, called "MP4/MVC" on the camera, produces a normal video stream and a data stream that contains delta information. The other format, called "AVCHD 3D" on the camera, contains two video streams, and should be easier to support. The sample on this thread seems to be from the dual-video-stream "AVCHD 3D" version.

Here's the result of ffprobe:

The size of the two video streams are about equal, again suggesting that it is an independent video stream, and not some kind of delta. Programs like MediaInfo correctly read format information (such as resolution) for both streams, so perhaps ffmpeg is just having trouble with that aspect, rather than anything codec related? (Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong.)

I would be glad to help in any way I can, including samples straight off the JVC 3D camcorder :)

Hello, I'm curious if there's been any progress on adding support for this?

I noticed that the LAVFilters project seems to add support for PCs https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters

And applications like Stereoscopic Player appear to be able to decode the additional view and render it as a SBS view in real time (perhap with some buffering?) without needing to fully re-encode the file.

I'd love to see if we could get support added to FFMPEG and, beyond that, VLC for Mac / Linux (for x86, x64 and ARM64 ideally)

Is anyone aware of any progress being made on this front?

I'll be diving into the Jochen Britz repo in the meantime: https://github.com/Britz/FFmpeg (Thanks to Håkon Struijk Holmen for posting that)

I guess, that when one has an output device (like a 3D capable projector, a 3D TV screen or glasses/VR-headsets like the "Bigscreen Beyond" or the "XREAL AR glasses") and if that does support MVC itself, then ffmpeg wouldn't need to do much except for passing the stream on as is (and the only thing that would be required was some Linux driver, for the said device.

But it seems that quite some devices do not support MVC directly, but require e.g. SBS (side by side) input.
Right now, many people seem to use BD3D2MK3D, but its not open.

So would be nice if any ffmpeg MVC support could be used together with its stereo3d filter to generate e.g. SBS output.

"3D is dead" - so is it even worth it?
Well, there are still many movies released as 3D movies, not only in the cinema but also on home media (i.e. BluRays).
And while 3D TV screens are probably indeed rather dead, there seem to be still quite many 3D projectors and glasses/VR set being released and in development.
Also there are 3D camcorders which seem to produce the format.

I have found h264-tools which seems to be able to decode MVC and create SBS versions of it. Britz/FFmpeg was already mentioned above.

For the records:
Looks, as if 3D profiles have also been specified for HEVC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding#Version_3_and_higher_profiles), though I guess it's not really used yet (at least not by UHD BluRays)

Not fully ontopic, but I think this belongs here.

There's new app for the Quest headset, 4XVR. It claims support for both AVC MVC and MV-HEVC. I don't have Quest, but I've checked the apk contents and found that it uses ffmpeg (v4.4.3 LGPL2.1+) but to my knowledge nowhere in the app or on the website FFmpeg's license is mentioned and source code isn't available.

Furthermore, the prefix used for compilation --prefix=/ffmpeg_443v_mvc/ and few symbols inside libavcodec binary such as Missing reference picture, mvc_ref_pic_ptr default, h->mvc_ref_pic_ptr = NULL make me think that the developer added support for the MVC decoding to the FFmpeg (I've checked both current and v4.4.3 ffmpeg's source code and haven't found similar lines). Although I'm not entirely sure.

Shouldn't the developer upload modified source code of FFmpeg as the LGPL license requires?
