Pixel-by-pixel feed to ffmpeg as valid input, how?
Posted: 2010-12-14T05:35:55-07:00
The title is confusing, but the idea is to feed the pixels one at a time to ffmpeg, so that we end up with a video that just changes colors as it iterates through the image.
Right now, it would be nice to avoid any intermediate, so I keep trying (and failing) with stream:
It returns
I've written and rewritten that line quite a few times, to the point of having invalid videos and trash files alike. Attempting to declare a format for the piped data is a last ditch effort before asking for help. What is it I'm clearly not getting about the behaviour of stream and/or ffmpeg?
Any help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.
