trace-extractor 0.0.1

MPEG-4 Trace extractor for ns-3

Trace Extractor

A wrapper around ffprobe that takes MPEG-4 files and outputs video traces in a format readable by ns-3's UdpTraceClient application.

Dependencies

You need to have ffmpeg's ffprobe present in your PATH. Alternatively, you can use a custom ffprobe with the --ffprobe-path argument:

python3 -m trace_extractor --ffprobe-path /path/to/ffprobe

Installation

[WIP]

Usage

Running the command without arguments will scan the input folder in the current directory for mp4 files, process each of them and write the results in an output folder in the current directory.

python3 -m trace_extractor

Input files can also be manually specified as positional arguments, note that the input folder will be scanned regardless.

python3 -m trace_extractor file1.mp4 file2.mp4 ...

Example

An example video is present in the input folder, it is a recording of id Software's 1993 DOOM's DEMO1 demo played back on the prboom-plus source port.
