I use ffmpeg to transcode an FLV file that only has one GOP, that is, only the first frame is an I-frame. The problem is that my output file has more than one I-frame, but I need it to only have one at the beginning.

The purpose is to change the bit rate.

I use this command to convert:

ffmpeg -y -copyts -i 1.flv -acodec copy -vcodec libx264 -r 30 -b:v 500k -g 500 -keyint_min 500 1_500k.flv

FFmpeg's output:

Your output file already has only one I-frame.

You can see this in the x264 logs:

[libx264 @ 0xbffcc0] frame I:1     Avg QP:19.31  size: 14022
[libx264 @ 0xbffcc0] frame P:53    Avg QP:13.74  size:  1965
[libx264 @ 0xbffcc0] frame B:21    Avg QP:21.83  size:   551

The number next to the frame type is the count.

  • Sorry,My English is not very good,According to the flv structure,I found that the first two frmae and finally frame both are I-frames,Thank you very much!

  • The two more I-frames may be associate with the codec and the end sign, and I will try to get rid of them,thank you!
