Of course I use it. It doesn't always show.

@gorGaram Hi, Shutter Encoder ?

I use VideoReDo TVSuite for file types that are supported. It shows the type of frame in real time.

"We're" still looking for some enterprising coder to continue its legacy. Preferably on under fifty.

Problem with MediaInfo is that it only reads metadata. Which may or may not be correct or complete. To get an accurate gop histogram, the entire clip needs to be read. The free ffmpeg utility ffprobe can skip through a clip and output a list of picture types easily enough... Here's a Windows script that emits a picture-type list.

ffprobe -show_frames -i <CLIPNAME> | Findstr pict_type

Looks like Shutter Encoder displays the picture-type list but does not count the pictures in each group. Here's an online implementation that will list the picture-type list as well as each gop's length. But it requires uploading the clip to be analyzed:

Shutter Encoder shows the GOP.

 

ffprobe -show_frames -i <CLIPNAME> | Findstr pict_type

 

This return only "pict_type=", but nothing about number pic.
"pict_type=I
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P..."

How I can count GOP?

Shutter Encoder shows the GOP.

It takes only the first sequence, it is inaccurate.

@Howard-Vigorita What Is this count then, is it not the same count that you're ref to ?

@Gid I think it's the count of frames from one I-frame to the next or the end.

ffprobe -show_frames -i <CLIPNAME> | Findstr pict_type

This return only "pict_type=", but nothing about number pic.
"pict_type=I
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P
pict_type=P..."

How I can count GOP?

@gorGaram I think you just count picts from one pict type=I to the next. If the above was all of them, then it would be 12. The ffprobe script could be extended to do the counting. Here's a link to a Unix script that does it using grep instead of Findsdtr followed by piping the output to an awk script which does the counting:

https://gist.github.com/jeoliva/a3c4ef62b7f52926d0f339b395c0cd0c

... piping to a short C-program to process the list is another way to do it.

@Howard-Vigorita Thanks, I get a bit confused about this, at first I thought the GOP were the pictures within 1 frame, I was told no the GOP is as you say is from one I-frame to the next I-frame & is across multiple frames. But is that not still the "count the pictures in each group", it might be 30GOP but across say 10frames 🤷‍♂️🙃😂

I think its only first GOP.
He doesn't count any further.

@gorGaram Yeah maybe, I can't add to this, I too would like an app that shows all GOP across the full clip so I can learn & understand this a bit better, 'The free ffmpeg utility ffprobe' is just numbers, I'd like something that shows a bit more detail/pics, frames etc. When I last looked all apps were paid-for only..

So far, for myself, I've been able to get this.
The result of the bat file, using ffprobe. You can specify the desired time range where to analyze. For example, you can send a link to a video (for example, youtube), I will show the result.

@gorGaram If you want a 30-day trial version of Elecard StreamEye 2023, you will get the ultimate information. Great for learning. Not sure how much a permanent license is.

Are frame numbers what you want? @gorGaram

ffprobe -v error -hide_banner -of default=noprint_wrappers=0 -print_format flat -select_streams v:0 -show_entries frame=pict_type desktop/"2024-04-03 09-07-49.mp4" > desktop/"2024-04-03 09-07-49".csv 2>&1

So far, I have done so. I've had enough for now.

Your link contains a virus. You didn't ask me to give you an answer. If this is a program, show a video where it works correctly.
