Description
Summary of the bug:
I'm using FFmpeg to create a web encoding client. But the problem is there's no docs about the data produced by -vstats_file option.
Example:
out= 0 st= 0 frame= 718 q= 35.0 f_size= 894 s_size= 2877kB time= 29.793 br= 171.6kbits/s avg_br= 791.1kbits/s type= B out= 0 st= 0 frame= 719 q= -1.0 f_size= 824 s_size= 2878kB time= 29.834 br= 158.2kbits/s avg_br= 790.2kbits/s type= B out= 0 st= 0 frame= 720 q= -1.0 f_size= 980 s_size= 2879kB time= 29.876 br= 188.2kbits/s avg_br= 789.4kbits/s type= B
In documentation there's no mention about which key means what. For example what does out= mean? st= ? also what are type=B/I/P ?
Please explain.
Also how am I supposed to know that the encoding process is completed?
How to reproduce:
$ ffmpeg -i input ... -vstats_file file.txt output ffmpeg version 4+ built on Debian 10
