The down side is that often flv files generated at high quality are rather large. Try experimenting with different -qmax settings such as (-qmax 6).

While FFMpeg is a powerful tool, there are still many features that don't exist (as of yet). You might want to explore cutting the Video file up into 2 or more files, applying the watermark effect then splice the video files back together again. There are some advanced options in FFMpeg for Sub-Clips which I have not worked with yet. The general idea is to Slice up the main video file, apply the Watermark (or other effects) then Splice the video back together again. Hope this helps point you in some useful direction.

I would really appreciate if you can tell what I did wrong. regards, Kevin Hi Chaz,

When I tried the following:

ffmpeg -i in.mpg -sameq -vf “movie=B240x180.png[o];[in][o]overlay=0:0[out]” out.mpg

I got the following message:

[movie @ 0xfaa720] init() expected 3 arguments:’B240x180.0.png’
Error initializing filter ‘movie’ with args ‘B240x180.0.png’
Error opening filters!

I would really appreciate if you can tell what I did wrong.

regards,

Kevin

I don't want to compile it, I just want a ready-to-use binary. Where can I find a windows build with -vf option enabled ? I don’t want to compile it, I just want a ready-to-use binary.

Even how to incorporate a video fade-in filter." Please can you update the article with such examples for completeness! I'd love to see how to watermark text onto a video. hi, great article – thanks. you write, “I have examples of how to chain a Text Draw Filter to display text along with a Watermark overlay.

The only other thing I can think about is that the "libavfilter" library is not set up to be used in the particular build. Snag up the latest version at ffmpeg.org and check the documentation out there. Luis, you might be using an older version which supports the -vhook option instead of -vf.
