Hi! I just deployed a solution to recover the abandoned calls from the queue and when no one answers the phone, however I'm not really sure how the billing works for this specific solution since I know it uses Kinesis Stream and Lambda, also I'm trying to see the phone numbers or information about the callers that abandoned the queue, but it's not showing anywhere. I used this article for reference: https://aws.amazon.com/es/blogs/contact-center/recovering-abandoned-calls-with-amazon-connect/ and I'm being billed this: AWS Step Functions USE1-StateTransition$14.44 $0 for first 4,000 state transitions4,000.000 StateTransitions$0.00 $0.000025 per state transition577,422.000 StateTransitions$14.44 Can someone help me?

hello, I've been trying to get QuickSight to parse one CSV document I have, and it's not working. It keeps telling me that the format is not supported and the file cant be parsed although it's a normal CSV file. Any suggestions regarding this?

I want to generate an output in AWS elastic transcoder 1080p 60fps encoded with h264 but it doesn't play for me because the maximum level configured is 4.1. Is there a way to generate an output to be able to play in 1080p 60fps in hls?

Hi, Our application is currently using ffmpeg to extract waveform images from audio files. We would like to migrate to AWS MediaConvert. I have searched the MediaConvert user guide and API reference, but I wasn't able to find how to extract a waveform image from an audio. Is this possible? Thanks!

I tried to convert a A220531_083012_083026.265 file to HLS (m3u8) format using AWS Elemental MediaConvert job but my input was rejected. I used one of the system templates (System-Ott_Hls_Ts_Hevc_Aac) that support HEVC. Is there a way to convert .265 files to HLS using AWS Elemental MediaConvert or any other AWS Media service?

We want to create our own codec to stream the audio files on our app(developing stage) which will support high resolution audio files , does AWS provide containers to create our own codec and stream the audio files in our own codec. For example : if we create our codec say .xyz and we want that the audio files are saved in S3 can run on this codec by media converter. can that happen ? So, in conclusion can we create a container that can run our codec for the same with the help of **creating a new transcoding preset** option available in the media convert and will AWS Media Converter, will support our codec to stream those audio files.

I launched the fully managed video on demand template from here https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/?did=sl_card&trk=sl_card. I have a bunch of questions on how to tailor this service to my use case. I will each separate questions for each. Firstly, is possible to use my own GUID as an identifier for the mediaconvert jobs and outputs. The default GUID tagged onto the videos in this workflow are independent of my application server. So it's difficult for the server to track who owns what video on the destination s3 bucket. Secondly, I would like to compress the video input for cases where the resolution is higher than 1080p. For my service i don't want to process any videos higher than 1080p. Is there a way i can achieve this without adding a lamda during the ingestion stage to compress it? I know it can by compressed on the client, i am hoping this can be achieved on this workflow, perhaps using mediaconvert? Thirdly, based on some of the materials i came across about this service, aside from the hls files mediaconvert generates, its supposed to generate an mp4 version of my video for cases where a client wants to download the full video as opposed to streaming. That is not the default behaviour, how do i achieve this? Lastly, how do i add watermarks to my videos in this workflow. Forgive me if some of these questions feel like things i could have easily researched on and gotten solutions. I did do some research, but i failed to grasp a clear understanding on anything

I have the same scenario explained in the first section of https://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/mediaconvert/latest/ug/video-padding.html( the first picture), the video track starts a bit after the audio track, and I am getting a video that is clipped to the duration of the video track. The beginning of the video where there are no frames is cut off. I tried the same transcoding by creating a job in Elastic Transcoder and i am getting the desired output. In the elastic transcoder it seems that the first frame of the video is copied at the beginning where there is only an audio track and after that the video starts. That job that i am creating in MediaConvert outputs a video and a thumbnail. When i select Pad:Black in video correction it says that there are no audio descriptions in the frame capture section in the output, and then i have to delete the output for the thumbnail so I can make a test with black frame padding. Even after that I am still getting a video with a clipped beginning. Any additional information will be much appreciated.

Hey there, that is how my MediaConvert .m3u8 file should look in the end but I'm not getting the correct settings in MediaConvert to achieve this. ``` #EXTM3U #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio_aac",NAME="eng",LANGUAGE="eng",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES,URI="{ URL HERE }" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio_aac",NAME="cze",LANGUAGE="cze",AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="{ URL HERE }" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="audio_aac",NAME="fre",LANGUAGE="fre",AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="{ URL HERE }" #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=371017,BANDWIDTH=383038,CODECS="mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="audio_aac" { URL HERE } #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=374634,BANDWIDTH=384918,CODECS="mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="audio_aac" { URL HERE } #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=372814,BANDWIDTH=383420,CODECS="mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="audio_aac" { URL HERE } ``` I would appreciate any help!

My project uses MediaConvert to transcode user-generated content to lower resolution. I run into an issue that if user uploads a single frame video, MediaConvert will return "Frame rate is set to follow, but there is no frame rate information in the input stream info." Is there a way to solve the issue?

Hey there, I'm despairing... I want to create a MediaConvert job with an HLS output group but without any video input, two audioselectors. My current manifest looks like this: ``` #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:4 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="program_audio",LANGUAGE="eng",NAME="BEsAsDes",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES,URI="indexB-Es-As-Des.m3u8" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="program_audio",LANGUAGE="eng",NAME="ADGC",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES,URI="indexA-D-G-C.m3u8" ``` It isn't working on any player I'm getting errors like manifest invalid. Any help is much appreciated!

According to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/ttml-and-webvtt-output-captions.html The captions track that you specify first in your job is signaled as the default track in the HLS manifest. We're seeing our English subtitles automatically enabled on playback. In the HLS manifest, I see `#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES...` but manually changing that to `#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="English",DEFAULT=NO...` elicits the desired playback experience with subtitles turned off by default. I'm trying to find some way to achieve this through MediaConvert, rather than at the player level or as some post-processing job that modifies the manifest. Is there such a capability?

I need to be able to make H264 proxy files that have the metadata tag and color space of 1-13-1. I can see options in MediaConvert to force the color space to 709, but the metadata tag for 1-13-1 isn't there.

Hey there, doesn't matter which settings I try, I just can't get it work. I have several MP3 audio selectors for input and trying to get them into one HLS output group as 1:1 outputs (audio-only). What I want is an audio-only stream where I can switch between the tracks/languages. I already made this running with video but it's not working if I use the same settings and just delete the "video" parts of the job. So what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using mediaconvert to embed CEA-608 captions into a .MP4 file. It mainly works - the output file contains most of the captions - but occasionally it drops a caption and doesn't embed it. Does anybody have any idea why, or how to troubleshoot this? All the captions are of under 32 character line lengths and so on. Thanks!

Hi, I am learning AWS as I go... I work for a small company that would like to sell video subscriptions. I am looking into MediaConvert, MediaPackage and MediaStore with the plan to embed the output on our website in a secure way (users unable to download). If I had to guess, I would say we have about 20 hours of videos and would stream to about 30 users a month. Am I looking in the right spot or is this overkill?

I have a requirement to play video from a position from where i left (store the position where I left) and continue to play from last position where i left. I tried multiple ways but non of them worked. Please someone guide me. I am having HLS and MPD url and using using elemental MediaPackage with CloudFront to stream the video.

Hi, we are creating HLS- and DASH-Outputs via MediaConvert (1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p). While testing our transcoded playlists on [Bitmovin's test environment](https://bitmovin.com/demos/stream-test?format=dash&manifest=https%3A%2F%2Fbitmovin-a.akamaihd.net%2Fcontent%2FMI201109210084_1%2Fmpds%2Ff08e80da-bf1d-4e3d-8899-f0f6155f6efa.mpd), we noticed that our DASH content is always loaded with the bitrate which we set as the maximum value for QVBR (Single Pass HQ, no fine tuning). In contrary our HLS content is loaded with a variable bitrate which was considered suitable by MediaConverts rate control mode QVBR (so I think). Since our encoding settings for DASH and HLS are identical, we wonder if that behaviour is "correct". If someone could take a look at this issue, it would be much appreciated.

Hello. I am using MediaConvert to create MPEGTS Streams that contain English, Arabic, and Chinese DVB Subtitles. My English and Chinese Subtitles render properly, but my Arabic only shows boxes as opposed to the actual characters I have tried sourcing from both a VTT and IMSC Subtitle, but both yield the same results. I have my "Language" on the output DVB also set for "Arabic". Lastly, I have tried multiple combinations of setting the "Font Script" and "Fallback Font" Nothing I do will render out Arabic Characters though. I am not sure what other settings I can tweak - or if this is a bug.

Hey, I've been playing around the public Video On Demand stack available at https://github.com/aws-solutions/video-on-demand-on-aws. Successfully tested a few .mp4 video files, however ran into a really strange issue for a larger .mp4 video file (14GB). The MediaConvert Job is stuck in TRANSCODING status at 90% of progress and don't fully understand why. What I noticed is that the retry count increases. I don't know how to find attached logs for the job, is it even possible to review them? Any idea or suggestion how to discover the issue?

Good day, all. I am attempting to convert a Red Hat 8.2 .iso file or VM to an AMI. I've looked around the Internet and have yet to find anything that specifically targets RHEL iso files or VMs. I would greatly appreciate a kick in the right direction. Thank you all.

Hi, we are creating HLS- and DASH-Outputs via MediaConvert. Our source assets provide multiple subtitles(captions) in the **ttml-format**. Some of these subtitles are forced subtitles and we need to flag those properly in the respective playlists created for HLS/DASH (mpd/m3u8). We set the destination type of the subtitles in the output settings to WebVTT. Given a main-**m3u8** file created by MediaConvert the following lines are refering to the added subtitles: `#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="subs_hu",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="hun",URI="hlssubtitles_hu.m3u8" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="subs_en_US",DEFAULT=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="eng",URI="hlssubtitles_en_US.m3u8" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="forced_subs_hu",DEFAULT=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="hun",URI="hlsforced_subtitles_hu.m3u8"` For each entry there is a value "FORCED=NO". How can we alter this value for forced subtitles to "FORCED=YES"? Similarly how do we set this up for DASH-Playlists? Subtitles were added in the following form: ` <AdaptationSet mimeType="text/vtt" lang="hu"> <Role schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:dash:role" value="subtitle"/> <Label>forced_subs_hu</Label> <Representation id="11" bandwidth="256"> <BaseURL>dashforced_subtitles_hu.mpd</BaseURL> </Representation> </AdaptationSet> ` According to DASH's [ISO/IEC 23009-1:2019](https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c079329_ISO_IEC_23009-1_2019(E).zip) we should be able to set the role-value to **forced-subtitles**.

In the last week of January 2022, Dropbox changed the http response headers of "Direct Links". Direct links are temporary public URLs that return a Dropbox file. When calling the link with `HTTP/1.1`, Dropbox now returns the `"Transfer-Encoding: chunked"` header and no longer returns a `"Content-Length"` header in the response. As a result, when these links are used as an HTTP-type input for a MediaConvert job, the job fails with error `3450 HTTP Server Error: You specified an HTTP URL for an input file, but the HTTP server returned an error or failed.` These links work fine when called them from a browser or Postman, so the problem seems to be in how MediaConvert handles the response. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions to work around?

Can anyone let me know where would I find Dolby Vision and HDR10+ content to transcode it through Mediaconvert.A proper file.

I have shared my mediaconvert endpoint on social media. Is the endpoint vulnerable? Can someone call it frequently, create saturation and high cost? Can I change the endpoint url?

I created a transcription JSON file (not sure what I can do with it; but I am still learning) and SRT subtitles for MP4 file in S3 bucket. Now, I obviously want to merge the two, so I can show the video with subtitles. Can I do it inside Amazon Transcribe? I know there are third-party tools to do that; but I would prefer to have a single workflow to do everything. I couldn't find anything in the docs - just a very short section on how to generate subtitles. UPDATE: I tried to create a job in AWS Elemental MediaConvert, and got the following error: Media target [1] cannot convert non-EIA-608 to EIA-608 (invalid conversion from SRT to Embedded attempted)

Hello All, I am getting up to speed with CloudFront and S3 for VOD. I have used the CloudFormation template. Uploaded an MP4, obtained the Key for the m3u8 file. I create a distribution in CF. I embed it in my webpage. For the most part, it works great. But there is a significantly long buffering event during the first few seconds. This problem does not exist when I play the video on my iOS device. And strangely, it does not happen when I play it in Akami's HLS tester on my Windows 11 PC using Chrome. The problem seems to only occur when I play it from my website, using any browser, on my Windows 11 PC. Steps I take to provoke the issue: Open an Incognito tab in Chrome / navigate to my website, my player is set to auto play so it auto plays / the video starts out a bit fuzzy, it then stops for a second / restarts with great resolution / and stays that way until the endo f the video. If I play again, no problems at all, but that is to be expected. I assume there is a local cache. Steps I have tried to fix / clues: I have tried different segment lengths via modifying the Lambda function created when the stack was formed by the template. The default was 5. At that setting, the fuzzy aspect lasted the longest but the buffer event seemed slightly shorter. At 1 and 2, the fuzzy is far shorter but the buffering event is notably longer. One thought, could this be related to the video player I am using? I wanted to use the AWS IVS but could not get it working the first go around so I tried the amazon-ivs-videojs. That worked immediately, except for the buffer issue. And as the buffer issue seems to go away when I test the distribution via the Akami HLS tester. As always, much appreciation for reading this question and any time spent pondering on it.

In AWS CloudFront, at the origin server, the content is divided into media segments which are further distributed through edge locations. But there does not seem to be any details to indicate that the privacy protections envelopes/details were also injected from the content source along with the file segments. Since the origin server adds the privacy protection envelopes to the consecutive segments, can it be inferred that the origin server also injects the privacy protection envelope along with the consecutive file segments? Thank you so much for your quick and timely response.

I have implemented [Video on Demand solutions](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/) in production for quite some time now and a number of videos running. While in the initial development we don't have a requirement for DRM, we enable the AWS Elemental MediaPackage to anticipate the future requirements for DRM. The description says ``` With this solution, you can also choose to use AWS Elemental MediaPackage for packaging content into different formats and to apply digital rights management (DRM) ``` However, there is no guidance on the DRM in the [Implementation Guide](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/). I would like to implement DRM on the existing solutions, what do I need to do next?

We noticed an issue with MediaConvert when we provide an input file that comes from Safari Media Recorder API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder). Apparently Safari records these as a "fragmented mp4" (mp4 file with multiple moov/moof/mdat markers). MediaConvert doesn't fail, but the output video it produces is very jerky/stuttery and it seems to be incorrectly interpreting the source frame rate, and duplicating frames to provide a jerky output video. If we run the problem input file through a local FFMPEG stream copy command first: ``` ffmpeg -i safari_recorded_file.mp4 -c copy stream_copy.mp4 ``` and then supply the `stream_copy.mp4` file as the input to MediaConvert, it does work as expected. However, this extra step of having to run ffmpeg on a local machine is not desirable, since we're trying to use MediaConvert for this! Has anyone run into this, or have a better workaround? Thanks.

Hi there, I am building a converting service around `MediaConvert` using `boto3` and it mostly runs as expected, returning informative error messages in cases it doesn't. So, firstly - thanks to the AWS engineering team for this piece of solid work, great job! :) The problem I face has to do with converting a set of ProRes 422 HQ files coming from the outside. No matter how I fiddle with the console settings, and I have been doing it for two days straight, the output's audio track always contains sharp waves of massive noise, hitting in even, ~1sec intervals. No converting errors occurred otherwise. *What I tried:* 1) converting files **from** other sources into ProRes 422 Proxy (my desired format) -> no problem; 2) converting the said, outside ProresHQ files **into** other formats, like `.mp4`, with different video & audio codecs, settings. etc. -> the problem remains. Natural assumption would be that the input files are just broken -- but they're not, as the originals have a regular, audible audio track upon playing. Check it out: [Input](https://app.renderro.com/shared-link/SyMF5pfF47), [Output](https://app.renderro.com/shared-link/WaBYetVRxc) [My Example Settings JSON](https://app.renderro.com/shared-link/Mpwddbt91i) As an AWS newbie I would really appreciate any hints towards possible source of the problem and provide further info if necessary. Thanks

I am running [Video on Demand on AWS solutions](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/) infrastructure (the complete one, not the Foundation one). When I tried uploading portrait video the ending result is a landscape video but with left and right black padding wrapping the original portrait video. I would like to have landscape video to be converted to landscape video and portrait to portrait when played in the device. How do I achieve that?

Hi, I am trying MediaConvert to clip videos with specific timecode ranges. However when I tried the job I must set some output settings such as bitrate mode and its quality. I just want to use the input file's codec setting as output. Is there any way I can use? Thanks

Hello, I'm having issues with a couple of videos processed with the VOD solution (https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/video-on-demand-on-aws/) of AWS using MediaConvert, there is no AUDIO for the HLS and DASH outputs but there is audio for the mp4 output. This happened in a couple of videos of several videos we converted. I try to reprocess the videos, but the result is the same, no audio. There are no erros in the output, is there a way to know what is happening? Kind Regards. Edited by: igarciaGT on Nov 17, 2021 9:02 AM Fixed URL of solution used.

Hello. I'm trying to transcode an mp4 file to .ts and I need CBR for both video and audio tracks.

I've got an html5 video player on my website in which I combine a video track with a standalone audio track. It's done on-the-fly using an m3u8 playlist. The purpose is to have one video file with voiceovers in different languages. The video is an MP4 file split into TS segments, the audio is an AAC file split into TS segments as well. Previously I had been splitting these videos using ffmpeg. A simple command, no extra settings: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -hls_list_size 0 -g 60 -hls_time 5 video.m3u8 Then I started doing the same thing in MediaConvert with seemingly the same settings and noticed a problem in the video player — the audio skips ahead like half a second at the beginning. Meaning the video starts properly but the audio is offset. Initially I didn't think it's about the video because, once again, the video and audio tracks are separate files that are combined on-the-fly. But it turned out that if I use the TS video files generated by ffmpeg, the audio and video are synced. If I replace them with the Mediaconvert segments, with everything else remaining the same, it's out of sync. I've played with nearly all MediaConvert settings to no avail. Checked the files with ffprobe, they seem to be identical. What could the reason possible be?

Hi All, Looking to see if anyone has been successful in generating a job/presets that will playback on PS4 successfully. This would be for DASH outputs. The playstation developer documentation provides very high level requirements and have been testing some of the OTT presets and not having luck. Source vido is MP4 with stereo and optionally dd51 tracks available. Thanks for any input.

Hi all, I have 3 input video file, i need to merge them together, and this is not a problem but i need to insert an audio track on whole video output after merge, is it possible with a single job? For example 4 assets: intro.mp4 content.mp4 outro.mp4 song.mp3 I need to merge intro,content, outro in one video and insert song.mp3 as soundtrack on whole video in one jobs any ideas?

Hello, we are using MediaConvert to convert videos into a streamable HLS format and it works great. Today we had a video which was rotated by 90 degrees in the conversion. Our input selector for the video has "No rotation" selected (confirmed by looking at the job) and the metadata of the video does not seem to have any rotation metadata which could indicate why it was rotated. Here is the metadata { "streams": \[ { "index": 0, "codec_name": "aac", "codec_long_name": "AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)", "profile": "LC", "codec_type": "audio", "codec_tag_string": "mp4a", "codec_tag": "0x6134706d", "sample_fmt": "fltp", "sample_rate": "44100", "channels": 1, "channel_layout": "mono", "bits_per_sample": 0, "r_frame_rate": "0/0", "avg_frame_rate": "0/0", "time_base": "1/44100", "start_pts": 0, "start_time": "0.000000", "duration_ts": 17687408, "duration": "401.075011", "bit_rate": "63153", "nb_frames": "17274", "disposition": { "default": 1, "dub": 0, "original": 0, "comment": 0, "lyrics": 0, "karaoke": 0, "forced": 0, "hearing_impaired": 0, "visual_impaired": 0, "clean_effects": 0, "attached_pic": 0, "timed_thumbnails": 0, "captions": 0, "descriptions": 0, "metadata": 0, "dependent": 0, "still_image": 0 }, "tags": { "creation_time": "2021-05-03T18:45:16.000000Z", "language": "und", "handler_name": "Core Media Audio", "vendor_id": "\[0]\[0]\[0]\[0]" } }, { "index": 1, "codec_name": "h264", "codec_long_name": "H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10", "profile": "High", "codec_type": "video", "codec_tag_string": "avc1", "codec_tag": "0x31637661", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "coded_width": 1920, "coded_height": 1080, "closed_captions": 0, "has_b_frames": 1, "sample_aspect_ratio": "1:1", "display_aspect_ratio": "16:9", "pix_fmt": "yuv420p", "level": 42, "color_range": "tv", "color_space": "bt709", "color_transfer": "bt709", "color_primaries": "bt709", "chroma_location": "left", "refs": 1, "is_avc": "true", "nal_length_size": "4", "r_frame_rate": "60000/1001", "avg_frame_rate": "14430000/240647", "time_base": "1/600", "start_pts": 0, "start_time": "0.000000", "duration_ts": 240647, "duration": "401.078333", "bit_rate": "15763017", "bits_per_raw_sample": "8", "nb_frames": "24050", "disposition": { "default": 1, "dub": 0, "original": 0, "comment": 0, "lyrics": 0, "karaoke": 0, "forced": 0, "hearing_impaired": 0, "visual_impaired": 0, "clean_effects": 0, "attached_pic": 0, "timed_thumbnails": 0, "captions": 0, "descriptions": 0, "metadata": 0, "dependent": 0, "still_image": 0 }, "tags": { "creation_time": "2021-05-03T18:45:16.000000Z", "language": "und", "handler_name": "Core Media Video", "vendor_id": "\[0]\[0]\[0]\[0]", "encoder": "H.264" } } ] } Can you think of any reason why this happened?

Hello folks This is the contionutation of the previos thread started on stackoverflow by our previous devops. Now i am working on this issue. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65288790/what-permissions-s3-needs-for-aws-mediaconverter-to-have-access-to-write-files Checked almost everything: -Bucket permissions -User permissions -Service role -ACL -App code (added BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL as were advised previously) But nothing solves this issue. Still getting the error: **Unable to write to output file \[s3://{some bucket here}/{path_to_file}]:** **Failed to write data: Access Denied**, Error code 1401. Please, help to find the root cuase an fix it. Cause we all are tired of this annoing issue. Only one thing "helps" with the issue when to change bucket principal from Cloudfront Origin Access ID to "*". After this is done we can write to the bucket but it becomes public what is not acceptable for us cause we want to have it private with ACL accesss. In ACL we have only one grantee - bucket owner (root).

Hi. I'm having an issue with MediaConvert. Running a fairly simple job on what seems like a rather unremarkable H.264 MP4 is resulting in sync issues between audio and video in the output. The sync starts out okay, but by the end of the output video it is noticeably off. Here's the MediaInfo output for the input MP4: ``` General Count : 331 Count of stream of this kind : 1 Kind of stream : General Kind of stream : General Stream identifier : 0 Count of video streams : 1 Count of audio streams : 1 Video_Format_List : AVC Video_Format_WithHint_List : AVC Codecs Video : AVC Audio_Format_List : AAC LC Audio_Format_WithHint_List : AAC LC Audio codecs : AAC LC Complete name : 59397af7-aba0-4b8f-ac14-4c351ec69688.mp4 File name extension : 59397af7-aba0-4b8f-ac14-4c351ec69688.mp4 File name : 59397af7-aba0-4b8f-ac14-4c351ec69688 File extension : mp4 Format : MPEG-4 Format : MPEG-4 Format/Extensions usually used : braw mov mp4 m4v m4a m4b m4p m4r 3ga 3gpa 3gpp 3gp 3gpp2 3g2 k3g jpm jpx mqv ismv isma ismt f4a f4b f4v Commercial name : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media Internet media type : video/mp4 Codec ID : isom Codec ID : isom (isom/iso2/avc1/mp41) Codec ID/Url : http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html CodecID_Compatible : isom/iso2/avc1/mp41 File size : 11085451 File size : 10.6 MiB File size : 11 MiB File size : 11 MiB File size : 10.6 MiB File size : 10.57 MiB Duration : 297434 Duration : 4 min 57 s Duration : 4 min 57 s 434 ms Duration : 4 min 57 s Duration : 00:04:57.434 Duration : 00:04:57:13 Duration : 00:04:57.434 (00:04:57:13) Overall bit rate mode : VBR Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 298162 Overall bit rate : 298 kb/s Frame rate : 30.000 Frame rate : 30.000 FPS Frame count : 8923 Stream size : 328932 Stream size : 321 KiB (3%) Stream size : 321 KiB Stream size : 321 KiB Stream size : 321 KiB Stream size : 321.2 KiB Stream size : 321 KiB (3%) Proportion of this stream : 0.02967 HeaderSize : 40 DataSize : 10756527 FooterSize : 328884 IsStreamable : No File last modification date : UTC 2021-04-12 10:12:36 File last modification date (local) : 2021-04-12 11:12:36 Writing application : Lavf57.83.100 Writing application : Lavf57.83.100 Video Count : 378 Count of stream of this kind : 1 Kind of stream : Video Kind of stream : Video Stream identifier : 0 StreamOrder : 0 ID : 1 ID : 1 Format : AVC Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format/Url : http://developers.videolan.org/x264.html Commercial name : AVC Format profile : High@L4 Format settings : CABAC / 4 Ref Frames Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, Reference frames : 4 Format settings, Reference frames : 4 frames Internet media type : video/H264 Codec ID : avc1 Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding Duration : 297434 Duration : 4 min 57 s Duration : 4 min 57 s 434 ms Duration : 4 min 57 s Duration : 00:04:57.434 Duration : 00:04:57:13 Duration : 00:04:57.434 (00:04:57:13) Bit rate : 167254 Bit rate : 167 kb/s Width : 1920 Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1080 Height : 1 080 pixels Stored_Height : 1088 Sampled_Width : 1920 Sampled_Height : 1080 Pixel aspect ratio : 1.000 Display aspect ratio : 1.778 Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Rotation : 0.000 Frame rate mode : CFR Frame rate mode : Constant FrameRate_Mode_Original : VFR Frame rate : 30.000 Frame rate : 30.000 FPS Frame count : 8923 Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.003 Stream size : 6218374 Stream size : 5.93 MiB (56%) Stream size : 6 MiB Stream size : 5.9 MiB Stream size : 5.93 MiB Stream size : 5.930 MiB Stream size : 5.93 MiB (56%) Proportion of this stream : 0.56095 Writing library : x264 -

Hi I want to create DASH streams using VP9. But when I used MediaConvert to transcode an input mp4 (avc codec) to output DASH (VP9 codec), I'm not able to play the stream. I've successfully created DASH streams with AVC codec before and they play fine. Is there something I need to do differently for VP9? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi team, I was wondering if there is a way to keep a black screen (lost frames) in my composition. when I create a job into MediaConvert, my video file might have a timeframe with no frames (a user turned off the camera). However, the audio kept going on. The MediaConvert output file cut the missing frames, resulting in out-of-sync audio when there is no camera. Are there any settings where I can choose to keep missing frames of an input video file? Kind regards, Pedro Elias Edited by: pedroBlinder on Mar 9, 2021 10:21 PM

Hello! I am super new to AWS and am still figuring out a lot of things about how to use it. Currently, I am trying to convert MediaLive mp4 files to mp3 using Media convert. I saw that mp3 conversion is a new AWS feature, however, I cannot figure out how to do this. So far, I have made my MediaLive outputs a video and audio only files. I am trying just to convert the audio only file to an mp3 file to later use with AWS transcribe. Should I use a File Group or Apple HLS? Thank you so much for any help, it is so so so much appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to add captions from an SRT file, to be emebedded into an MP4 (AVC). However I get the following error: Media target \[1] cannot convert non-EIA-608 to EIA-608 (invalid conversion from SRT to Embedded attempted) How do I get this to work? As far as I'm aware, H.264 should support embeded captions by embedding caption data into the Supplemental Enhancement Information of the H.264 data stream. Many Thanks, Ady

I'm attempting to submit a job to MediaConvert, but the validator seems to think both AudioTypeControl and LanguageCodeControl for the outputs needs to be an associative array Here's the specific error Found 4 errors while validating the input provided for the CreateJob operation: \\[Settings]\\[OutputGroups]\\[0]\\[Outputs]\\[0]\\[AudioDescriptions]\\[AudioTypeControl] must be an associative array.

Hello. I'm a beginner in aws services. Please, how can I delete created jobs with aws media convert using the aws console? the jobs are created in the default queue. when I select a job, the cancel button is not activated.

Hi All - New AWS user here... I followed the "Video on Demand on AWS Foundation" reference solution to transcode mp4 into HLS, DASH, and Smooth Stream output formats. I set up a Cloudfront distribution as well and configured it for Smooth Streaming as per AWS docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/on-demand-video.html), made everything public, set up CORS etc. However, I'm still not able to play my Smooth Streaming content (HLS and DASH are fine). I tested the output video with the Microsoft test server and ExoPlayer on my streaming stick. Both players try to load the content, progress bar indicates the correct duration, but no video or audio. Exoplayer log: "com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.HttpDataSource$InvalidResponseCodeException: Response code: 400" If I try to play publicly available Smooth streams like: https://test.playready.microsoft.com/smoothstreaming/SSWSS720H264/SuperSpeedway_720.ism/manifest, Exoplayer successfully plays the stream. So, I'm guessing there's something I didn't set up properly with my MediaConvert/CloudFront setup My Media Convert job: input: one mp4 (1920 x 1080, avc) -> two MS Smooth outputs (1280 x 720 and 640 x 360) avc Does anyone have pointers on how to root cause this? Thanks.

Is it possible to use MediaConvert to output only a portion of a video? If so are there any examples?

Hi there, I'm using the web xonsole to test MediaConvert before building it out with the API. At the moment the m3u8 manifest files have the following at the top: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS However i'm looking to have them marked as VOD content, so for example: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:VOD #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:4 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS I've looked through all the settings and can't see anything that would make this happen.

For MediaConvert jobs, I've noticed some of my jobs fail due to issues with the files. Seeing some videos that just have issues being processed which I get support tickets to submit examples of. However, I've seen some of these jobs run for a very long time (hours to even days) and the retry count continues going up and I've seen some exceed 50+ retries. Is there a way to set a maximum retry limit on files before it errors? I have a reserved queue and I'd rather limit the amount of time these are in the in progress state so that I can free up capacity for other jobs.

Hello! Want to store webRTC(webm) stream to S3 or KVS. Did this by uploading 1min chunk directly to S3 and merge the stream using MediaConvert. Is there any way which could do this more efficiently? Thank you.

Is it possible to specify a custom font to use for caption burn-ins? Are there any plans to add this functionality?

Hi, I have content that is 16:9 HD that I want to downconvert to 16:9 SD , but I need to preserve the DAR 16:9. What are the recommended settings for this mediaconvert? When I have tried going from 1920x1080 to 720x576 the resultant file has a DAR of 5:4 regards Steve Edited by: halesteven on Oct 5, 2020 11:46 AM

I have been following the basic tutorial for MediaConvert and after hours, STILL haven't gotten a successful submission. I can confirm I have the following settings: Created a new bucket in East Disabled the "block public access" settings (can someone verify that was correct?) Made sure that the object is public Setup an IAM role per the setup guide (including encryption/decryption inline policy) I am still getting the following error, which I see almost NO search history on except for one guy trying to write a script and encountering that error. **Could not identify region for bucket (my-bucket).s3.amazonaws.com:** **Failed to lookup region of bucket (my-bucket).s3.amazonaws.com** Any direction is appreciated, my first AWS experiment is getting really frustrating. Thanks! Edited by: Brenton07 on Sep 29, 2020 7:15 AM Edit: Applying a template and just adjusting output corrected this, even though the settings appear to match throughout. Marking ticket as solved - future users searching this issue - try to apply an output template and see if your issue clears up.

Hi everyone, I'm using Mediaconvert Job Template to create multiple outputs. HLS & DASH. Each group outputs 5 renditions of content starting from 240 up-to 1080. To preserve the aspect ratio of original content only height is provided in job template. I encountered rather strange issue. My job is failing with error code 1040 and message "Error initializing encoder for video target \[5] initialization failed: Invalid level specified for the selected resolution." Video Target \[5] is 1080 output. If I provide width, only for 1080 output, for media groups, job is processed. Adding video stream information from mediainfo.

Hi All, Can we add SCTE-35 ad markers to existing HLS encoded packages with MediaConvert? Or do we need to re-encode? Thanks. Edited by: R Green on Jul 27, 2020 2:09 PM

MediaConvert allows to generate a Poster frame by adding another output group as described in <https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/create-a-poster-frame-and-thumbnail-images-for-videos-using-aws-elemental-mediaconvert/>. I couldn't find any information about poster frame pricing. Technically it's another output, however charging the same amount as for video output sounds a bit too expensive?

Hello, I would like to validate if the meciaconvert supports audio track for Ambisonic coding. I have an MP4 input for 360 video with one audio track First Order Ambisonics (W X Y Z). But I don't see an equivalente channel coding for output audio AAC. This is the input audio track mediainfo : ``` Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC LC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity Codec ID : mp4a-40-2 Duration : 6 min 52 s Bit rate mode : Variable Bit rate : 506 kb/s Maximum bit rate : 512 kb/s Channel(s) : 4 channels / 4 channels Channel(s)_Original : 4 channels Channel layout : Ambisonics (W X Y Z) / Ambisonics (W X Y Z) ChannelLayout_Original : C L R Cs Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 46.875 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 24.9 MiB (0%) Default : Yes Alternate group : 1 ```

With mediaconvert, I ave some issue setting up a job that support an sidecar input subtitle other than SRT. When I use a subtitle TTML, I get the error : ``` Failed to initialize pipeline []. (IS) ``` So I tried to setup a job with DFXP (subset of TTML) the type DFXP is not available in the web console. The same goes for the WEBVTT. is not available. Meanwhile the caption filename validator does give the following error : ``` /inputs/0/captionSelectors/Captions Selector 1/sourceSettings/fileSourceSettings/sourceFile: Should match the pattern: /^((s3://(.*?)\.(scc|SCC|ttml|TTML|dfxp|DFXP|stl|STL|srt|SRT|xml|XML|smi|SMI))|(https?://(.*?)\.(scc|SCC|ttml|TTML|dfxp|DFXP|stl|STL|srt|SRT|xml|XML|smi|SMI)(\?([^&=]+=[^&]+&)*[^&=]+=[^&]+)?))$/ ``` It seams from the regex mediaconvert should be able to support TTML, DFXP. webVTT would be a nice addtition.

Hello, it seems that changing the language code in the output for HLS is not fully suported. my last encoding was with a french subtitle. I updated the output track Subtitle LANGUAGE to French. The Language code is updated in the outputted master m3u8 to "fra" but the description is still "English" Here the master m3u8 generated by mediaconvert (please look to the last line **#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES** ) : ``` #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=686296,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=508079,CODECS="avc1.4d401f,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=480x270,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_270p_400Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1924385,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=1368510,CODECS="avc1.4d401f,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_360p_1200Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=4746228,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=3743829,CODECS="avc1.640028,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=960x540,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_540p_3500Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=6673225,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=5293064,CODECS="avc1.640028,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=1280x720,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_720p_5000Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=8567159,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=6837152,CODECS="avc1.640028,mp4a.40.5",RESOLUTION=1280x720,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_720p_6500Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=11883660,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=8936014,CODECS="avc1.640028,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=1920x1080,FRAME-RATE=23.976,SUBTITLES="subs" 1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_1080p_8500Kbps.m3u8 #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="fra",URI="1002151_1002150_DM-10964_-OVP_VTT.m3u8" ```

Hello. I am using acceleration feature and sometimes when I use accelerated transcode for the media around 30 sec I get 1042 error code and it says 'This job doesn't require enough processing power to benefit from accelerated transcoding. Consider using accelerated transcoding for jobs that would otherwise... ' I am wonder what factor decide the power of acclerated transcoding. Is it the size of the media or duration of media...?? Is there any precise criteria of possibility of accelrated transcoding? Thanks. Edited by: Yejin on Apr 21, 2020 10:58 PM

How to crop a video for a specific time interval. Let's suppose there a 10 minute video I want to crop from 2:50 - 6:00.

Hi, I just got working an extension to my zoneminder home security system that uploads camera jpgs to S3. The extension is here: https://github.com/CampsiteHelper/ZoneMinderS3/ From what I've read, I won't be able to use mediaconvert to process the individual images into a video, because it requires video of some kind as input. Is my understanding correct? At home I use Windows Movie Maker for this. Thanks.

whats the maximum number of jobs queued allowed? for elastic trasncoder the limit is 1,000,000, whats the limit for media convert?

Hello, we were hoping to append an endcard to some of our videos. I believe this is possible via CLI & API with multiple inputs however I was curious if it was possible to add multiple inputs via the web console? Currently I can't find a way to add more than one and would be nice for some of our team members that are not savvy with the CLI. Thanks, Jason ----EDIT-----ANSWERED Re-reading the documentation I believe I found it. I was looking at the job template and not the individual job where the option to add an input becomes available.

Hi, I have a 150mb video that I want to stream in Canada/North America. I'm using MediaConvert to convert the video to HLS for streaming. I'm completely new to video and bitrate and wondering what a good recommended bitrate to process the video at would be?

Hi, I have a file with two mono channels, when transcoding I want to output a file with a mix of both channels into a single stereo pair. I've tried setting Audio Selectors, Audio Selector Groups, Remixing values both on input and output and can't seem to find the correct combination or the correct information. Any help would be appreciated.
