A stream-based YUV4MPEG2 (y4m) fast encoder and decoder.
This example only decodes the y4m and re-encodes it (reconstruction).
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs';
import { decoder, encoder } from 'y4m';
createReadStream('/path/to/my/video.y4m')
.pipe(decoder())
.once('header', function (header) {
// or using pipeline, see Node.js docs for more info.
this.pipe(encoder({ header })).pipe(createWriteStream('/path/to/my/video-reconstitution.y4m'));
});
}
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';
import { encoder as y4mEncoder, Header, Ratio, Frame } from './index.js';
const encoder = y4mEncoder({
header: new Header({
width: 2,
height: 2,
frameRate: new Ratio(2, 1), // or Ratio.fromString('2:1'), 2 fps
// these are optional
aspectRatio: new Ratio(1, 1), // pixel aspect ratio, defaults to 0:0 (unknown)
interlacing: 'p', // interlacing mode, defaults to 'p' (progressive)
colourSpace: 'C444', // defaults to 'C420' (YUV 4:4:4)
}),
});
encoder.pipe(createWriteStream('/path/to/out.y4m'));
// or piping a stream
const frameData = Buffer.alloc(2 * 2 * 3, 128); // yuv444 2x2 frame data
const frame = new Frame(
frameData,
Buffer.from('Xthis-a-frame-comment A... B...', 'ascii'), // for example. Optional frame raw parameters.
);
encoder.write(frame);
encoder.end(frame);
import { createReadStream } from 'fs';
import { once } from 'events';
import { decoder as y4mDecoder } from 'y4m';
const decoder = createReadStream('/path/to/my/video.y4m').pipe(
y4mDecoder({
maxFrameSize: 1024 * 1024, // for example. It is optional and defaults to `Infinity`
}),
);
const [header] = await once(decoder, 'header');
console.log(header);
// or using async iterator
decoder.on('data', (frame) => {
// `frame` is a `Frame` object.
console.log(frame.data.length);
console.log(frame.rawParameters);
});
import { createReadStream } from 'stream';
import { decoder } from 'y4m';
createReadStream('/path/to/my/video.y4m')
.pipe(decoder());
.once('header', console.log)
.on('data', (frame) => {
// `frame` is a `Frame` object.
console.log(frame.data.length);
console.log(frame.rawParameters);
});
}
You can also use this module in browser environments or Deno using JSPM and Deno Node.js compatibility or a bundler!
For example:
// in the browser
import { Readable, Writable } from 'https://jspm.dev/readable-stream';
// or in Deno
import { Readable, Writable } from 'https://deno.land/[email protected]/node/stream.ts'
import { decoder, encoder, ... } from 'https://jspm.dev/y4m';
// ...
myReadable.pipe(decoder()).pipe(encoder()).pipe(myWritable);
