I have the following command:
ffmpeg -f f32le -ar 44100 -channels 2 -i input.pcm -y -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav output.wav
input.pcm
is the pcm data that comes from a 2 seconds wav file. However, when encoding with ffmpeg, I get the following log:

As you can see, the estimated duration for the input is 4 seconds, instead of 2 seconds (so obviously the output is also 4 seconds instead of 2 seconds).
I know pcm data is raw data without metadata. What additional metadata do I have have to pass ffmpeg so that it can correctly infer the duration of the file? I could use -t
, but my guess is that there is a better way to let ffmpeg know what the duration is (e.g. more metadata).
EDIT
Code that does the interleaving:
public static interleaveChannelData(channelData: string[]): Float32Array {
const nbChannels = channelData.length;
const mapChannelData = (data: string): Float32Array => {
const ab = Buffer.from(data, 'base64').buffer;
return new Float32Array(ab);
};
const channels = channelData.map(mapChannelData);
const totalChannelDataLength = channels.reduce((acc: number, data: Float32Array): number => acc + data.length, 0);
const interleavedChannelData = new Float32Array(totalChannelDataLength);
for (let i = 0; i < interleavedChannelData.length; i += 1) {
let channelNb = nbChannels;
while (i % channelNb !== 0) {
channelNb -= 1;
}
interleavedChannelData[i] = channels[channelNb - 1][Math.floor(i / nbChannels)];
}
return interleavedChannelData;
}
So your output also only contains 2 seconds worth of actual audio? – slhck – 2019-06-03T19:50:20.107
The output contains 4 seconds of audio. I expect that it contains 2 seconds of audio. – maximedupre – 2019-06-03T20:13:56.347
What was the command to generate the pcm file? – Gyan – 2019-06-04T06:18:24.483
Two PCM files were created programmatically (see
– maximedupre – 2019-06-04T12:13:24.137getChannelData()
) for the left and right channels and I interleaved them also programmatically (see edit) to create output.pcm.I meant *input.pcm – maximedupre – 2019-06-06T19:07:39.940
