Bug ID: 491109 Summary: Audio export consumes exorbitant times Classification: Applications Product: kdenlive Version: 22.04.3 Platform: Ubuntu OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: Video Display & Export Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org Reporter: udip...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Exporting ("Render") in “Separate file for each audio track” takes exorbitant times for each track. In my sample file here, MP4, exporting one video track and one (included) audio track, takes around 4 hours. Splitting the audio track as “Separate file for each audio track” rendering the video only takes about the same time, but the additional rendering of that single, separate audio track takes also around 2 hours. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Take a 'normal' movie, 2. Render it “Separate file for each audio track” OBSERVED RESULT Rendering of the audio-only takes around half of the time of the complete, unified, rendering process EXPECTED RESULT Rendering the audio is faster by light years ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As comparison to the two hours of rendering a single audio track (on this slow box, agreed), here is what that same box takes outside of kde: 1. Extract the same audio stream (ac3) to an ac3-file: 90 seconds 2. Importing into Audacity: 50 seconds 3. Rendering to FLAC: 140 seconds Therefore, the path over Audacity takes less than 5 minutes to obtain a similar result, while kdenlive takes around 120 minutes. This is only my suspicion: While rendering the audio-only, it still does something with the video. ffprobe says: Meetadata: major_brand : isom minor_version : 512 compatible_brands: isomiso2avc1mp41 encoder : Lavf58.76.100 Duration: 01:48:50.03, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 190 kb/s Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 19 kb/s, 50 fps, 50 tbr, 12800 tbn, 100 tbc (default) Metadata: handler_name : VideoHandler vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 160 kb/s (default) Metadata: handler_name : SoundHandler vendor_id : [0][0][0][0] Why is there a video stream? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
