Create BIF file using a ts file on Mac
Hi,
I am trying to create bif file for the vod content. I have ts file and I am using command
biftool_mac/biftool video.ts
I am using Mac OS Catalina. This is creating three files.
Finding candidate frames in 1 files Processing: video.ts Detected stream PTS offset of 416ms stream progress: #frames=3454 PTS=57567ms Captured 6346 candidate frames in 19s Selected 12 BIFs Success: ./video-fhd.bif (size=0.220MiB, numImages=12, avgSize=18.731KiB) Success: ./video-hd.bif (size=0.110MiB, numImages=12, avgSize=9.368KiB) Success: ./video-sd.bif (size=0.057MiB, numImages=12, avgSize=4.834KiB)
Do I have to run any other command after this or I can use these files directly into my content to show thumbnails for trick play.
Please help me. I am using these files on my content but thumbnails are not showing on REW/FF on the player.

Re: Create BIF file using a ts file on Mac
I'm not familiar with the Mac biftool, but just going by the text output it looks like it's producing what you need. Your problem may lie elsewhere.
