Description
Customers do not have the option to disable partitioning the video. This will be a useful feature so that the customer can request processing a video in one go without any workaround.
How this might work:
1.So as of now in Transcoder API customer is unable to transcode their videos in one go.
2.The limitation in Transcoder API is it does not support random seeking in a fragmented mp4 container. Partitioning the input into segments and processing the segments separately is out of scope as of now which results in impact in production for the customer.
3. We figured out a workaround in order to provide a solid solution for this error [1], which is to repackage the video using a tool [2]. With this following tool [2] customer can use a similar command [3] in order to get through from the error [1].
[1] "Failed to generate output for elementary stream audio-96k. Media frames are missing starting at time 240s and ending at time 360s".
[2] FFMpeg
[3] ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4.
If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient:
Customer is expecting a service where it should resolve the issue in one go and also the customer is using multiple workaround tools which is making the customer feel tiresome and unhappy. The customer has lots of videos which need to be taken care of and hence needed a permanent solution regarding the same.
Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc):
I have reproduced the steps by installing [1] and using a similar command [2] in order to get through the error [3].
I have used the following documentation [4] but the only added step that I did is in this segment [5], I have installed [1] using the following command [6] after that I have uploaded a sample video that customer have provided in the bucket that I have created in my environment for testing purposes. I followed the instructions mentioned in the document [4] and for me it worked without any issues.
[1] FFMpeg
[2] ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4.
[3] "Failed to generate output for elementary stream audio-96k. Media frames are missing starting at time 240s and ending at time 360s".
[4]
[5]
[6] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Note - Customer expressed their disappointment towards the multiple workaround and hence looking for a permanent solution, hence requesting to look towards the same so that it will not impact the production environment of the customer.
