While converting files HEVC to mp4 using python the error is comming by ffmpeg. I have used moviepy to convert video to mp4 formate.
Used moviepy Package to convert but throwing error
import os
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip
def convert_to_mp4(input_file, output_file):
try:
clip = VideoFileClip(input_file)
codec = 'libx264' # Default codec is libx264
if clip.reader.codec_name == 'hevc':
codec = 'libx265'
clip.write_videofile(output_file, codec=codec, audio_codec='aac')
return True
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error converting video: {str(e)}")
return False
def upload_and_convert(input_file_path, output_folder):
if os.path.exists(input_file_path):
# Convert to MP4
mp4_file_path = os.path.join(output_folder, 'converted2.mp4')
success = convert_to_mp4(input_file_path, mp4_file_path)
if success:
print(f"Conversion successful. MP4 saved at {mp4_file_path}")
return mp4_file_path # Return the path of the converted MP4 file
else:
print("Failed to convert the video.")
return None
else:
print("Input file not found.")
return None
input_file_path = '/Downloads/sample-hevc-file.hevc'
output_folder = '/Downloads'
download_link = upload_and_convert(input_file_path, output_folder)
if download_link:
print(f"Download the converted MP4 file here: {download_link}")
Error
rror converting video: MoviePy error: failed to read the duration of file C:/Users/kjrah/Downloads/sample-hevc-file.hevc.
