Description

There are 2 problems:
FFMPEG can't remux BIK with audio to MKV.
FFMPEG can remux BIK without audio to MKV, but produces unplayable output (FFPlay don't want to play MKV output).

Reproduced by developer: set

The Bink video and audio codecs are specific to the Bink container.

No other container supports the Bink codecs. So while you can create an MKV or AVI file containing BIKi compressed video, no other player will know how to play it back.

(Video: none (BIKi / 0x694B4942), 640x480, 1/1000): unknown codec

FFmpeg gives an error when you try to copy Bink audio into an unsuitable container. I think it should give similar error for the video.

comment:2 by Vika Apelsinova, 10 years ago

FFmpeg gives an error when you try to copy Bink audio into an unsuitable container.

Matroska can not be unsuitable container by definition.

Matroska is designed as universal multimedia container.

From Matroska description: Matroska is extensible, open source, open standard multimedia container. Matroska can support any codec that is around. That doesn't mean softwares should support all of them.

Keywords: "extensible" and "any codec".

"V_MS/VFW/FOURCC / BIKi" is right CodecID?

FFMPEG supports Bink codec and Matroska container separately, but does not support Bink codec in Matroska container.

If FFMPEG (FFPlay) will be able support Bink codec in Matroska container, other players based on FFMPEG will support (will be able to play) it too.

As explained, please forward your request to the Matroska maintainers, it is important that FFmpeg does not mux files that neither conform to any specifications nor can be played by any other software.

comment:4 by pross, 10 years ago

Just on

"V_MS/VFW/FOURCC / BIKi" is right CodecID?

BIKi is the just the tag found in the Bink container.

For Matroska to support Bink properly two things are needed:

  1. Matroska codec tags for the Bink audio and video variants.
  1. Agreement on the extradata format.

it is important that FFmpeg does not mux files that neither conform to any specifications nor can be played by any other software.

MPlayer and other players based on MPlayer like SMPlayer, UMPlayer, KMPlayer, etc. (GUI front-ends for each of the operating systems on which MPlayer runs) plays it successfully.

please forward your request to the Matroska maintainers

we don't add CodecIDs for each and every codec out there, especially
not for fringe formats like game video codecs. Simply mux in AVI/VfW
compatibility mode (CodecID V_MS/VFW/FOURCC) and put the usual
BITMAPINFOHEADER into CodecPrivate. That's the way most video codecs
including MPEG-4 part 2 or VC1 are muxed.

Unfortunately, there is no FourCC for Bink, so this will be impossible to implement if I understand mosu correctly.

Replying to Vika Apelsinova:

Unfortunately, there is no FourCC for Bink

http://fourcc.org/bink/

The first sentence of http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Bink_Video seems to imply that this cannot be correct.

comment:9 by Elon Musk, 10 years ago

Ask matroska people not us.

comment:10 by Vika Apelsinova, 10 years ago

Commit f5f6e59495a34db0f11ceb4c33b119888698562c does not solve the problem. It only adds warning and only for Matroska container.
The problem reproduces for other containers (not only for Matroska) e.g. AVI. I can remux BIK to AVI and FFMPEG don't show any warnings. MPlayer can play AVI Bink files, and FFPlay can't.
The problem is FFMPEG (FFPlay) can't decode its own output.
And I think the problem reproduces for other codecs (not only for Bink).
Why MPlayer can decode FFMPEG's output and FFMPEG can't decode its own output?

MPlayer is less strict / has a simpler method to determine codecs.

Unfortunately, there is no FourCC for Bink​

http://fourcc.org/bink/

I mean that there are officially registered FourCCs for Bink: BINK, BIKb, BIKd, BIKf, BIKg, BIKh, BIKi.


if I understand mosu correctly.

You don't need a new CodecID for that. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Use V_MS/VFW/FOURCC as the CodecID. Then create a BITMAPINFOHEADER
structure same as in an AVI file, use 'BINK' as the FourCC in it, and
put that structure into CodecPrivate.

That's all there is to it.
> Use V_MS/VFW/FOURCC as the CodecID.

< You mean as Video CodecID? BIK files can contain multiple streams
(one video stream compressed by Bink video codec and multiple audio streams
compressed by Bink audio codec). What should we use as Audio CodecID for
audio streams? Is there equivalent of the V_MS/VFW/FOURCC for audio
streams?

> No, there isn't something like that for audio. You can chose
an arbitrary CodecID (e.g. A_BINK) and define your own format for CodecPrivate.
Then put that stuff into Matroska.

Commit f5f6e59495a34db0f11ceb4c33b119888698562c does not solve the problem. It only adds warning and only for Matroska container.
The problem reproduces for other containers (not only for Matroska) e.g. AVI. I can remux BIK to AVI and FFMPEG don't show any warnings.

I mean that we need warnings for other containers (not only for Matroska).

Where are they registered?

avi is a general purpose container and in the end the user is responsible what he puts into it.

I mean that we need warnings for other containers (not only for Matroska).

I am not 100% sure this is needed but please send a patch for discussion.
