"Panoramic" video filter in ffmpeg?
Hi! I hope I posted this in the right section; I wasn't sure, since it's related to ffmpeg in general rather than any particular codec. I ultimately chose to post here, since I'm working with ffmpeg via the Unix command line in OS X.
Apple's QuickTime player in OS X has a setting called "panoramic mode," that lets you play 4:3 videos on a 16:9 display without them looking too strange. It achieves this by stretching the sides of the video moreso than the center. I've seen this technique in other players and even built into some televisions, but everyone seems to call it something different. Not all players support this though, so I'd like to use this technique to actually encode some of my 4:3 videos in wide screen. Does ffmpeg have any settings that will let you do this? A video filter, perhaps? Thanks so much! Last edited by Wowfunhappy; 24th February 2014 at 06:04. |

It looks like intentional barrel distortion (here's a cobbled-up test pattern viewed on QT Player)
There are a number of ways to emulate this effect - none that I could find in FFmpeg. But there's probably one out there. How about this Avisynth script How about a VirtualDub plugin Last edited by raffriff42; 18th March 2017 at 01:06. Reason: (fixed image link) |
