I'm coding an iPad app in which I need to join mp4 file with different resolution. To do so I'm using a combination of AVAssetReader to read the mp4 source files and AVAssetWriter to write those source files in a single mp4 output file.
I've tried to use AVAssetExportSession but the problem I had was there was black frames between the different joined files.
The problem I'm facing now is that everything seems OK but the completion handler of the AVAssetWriter is never called.
Here is my selector taking as input a list of mp4 file URL, a single output file URL and a completion handler.
- (void)resizeAndJoinVideosAtURLs:(NSArray *)videoURLs toOutputURL:(NSURL *)outputURL withHandler:(void(^)(NSURL *fileURL))handler
{
/*
First step: create the writer and writer input
*/
NSError *error = nil;
self.videoAssetWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:outputURL fileType:AVFileTypeMPEG4 error:&error];
NSDictionary *videoSettings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:AVVideoCodecH264, AVVideoCodecKey,[NSNumber numberWithInt:640], AVVideoWidthKey,[NSNumber numberWithInt:480], AVVideoHeightKey,nil];
AVAssetWriterInput* videoWriterInput = [AVAssetWriterInput assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo outputSettings:videoSettings];
videoWriterInput.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = NO;
if([self.videoAssetWriter canAddInput:videoWriterInput])
{
[self.videoAssetWriter addInput:videoWriterInput];
[self.videoAssetWriter startWriting];
[self.videoAssetWriter startSessionAtSourceTime:kCMTimeZero];
/*
Second step: for each video URL given create a reader and an reader input
*/
for(NSURL *videoURL in videoURLs)
{
NSLog(@"Processing file: %@",videoURL);
AVAsset *videoAsset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:videoURL options:nil];
AVAssetReader *videoAssetReader = [[AVAssetReader alloc] initWithAsset:videoAsset error:&error];
AVAssetTrack *videoAssetTrack = [videoAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo].firstObject;
NSDictionary *videoOptions = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA] forKey:(id)kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey];
AVAssetReaderTrackOutput *videoAssetTrackOutput = [[AVAssetReaderTrackOutput alloc] initWithTrack:videoAssetTrack outputSettings:videoOptions];
videoAssetTrackOutput.alwaysCopiesSampleData = NO;
if([videoAssetReader canAddOutput:videoAssetTrackOutput])
{
[videoAssetReader addOutput:videoAssetTrackOutput];
[videoAssetReader startReading];
/*
Step three: copy the buffers from the reader to the writer
*/
while ([videoAssetReader status] == AVAssetReaderStatusReading)
{
if(![videoWriterInput isReadyForMoreMediaData]) continue;
CMSampleBufferRef buffer = [videoAssetTrackOutput copyNextSampleBuffer];
if(buffer)
{
[videoWriterInput appendSampleBuffer:buffer];
CFRelease(buffer);
}
}
} else NSLog(@"ERROR: %@",error);
}
[videoWriterInput markAsFinished];
} else NSLog(@"ERROR: %@",error);
__weak ClipBuilder *weakself = self;
[self.videoAssetWriter finishWritingWithCompletionHandler:^{
handler(outputURL);
weakself.videoAssetWriter = nil;
}];
}
My output file exist and the AVAssetWriter exist since it is a property but still the completion handler is not called. What can explain this?
Thanks for your help.
What can explain that?
