ffmpeg: concat and encode with one command

I have a script that automates encode and concat a series of input video files. I'm trying to get encode and concat in a single command.

At the moment it does not work causing immense empty pauses in the final video output.

I would like to get the result with concat demux instead of concat protocol because it is much harder to automate in a script

Do you know if it is possible to archive this result with concat demux? Thanks a lot!

Massimo

ENCODE / CONCAT 1080p

for f in ./*.mp4; do echo "file '$f'" >> list.txt; done

ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -y -i list.txt -i ../logo/logo.png -c:a aac -b:a 384k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -af aresample=async=1000 -c:v libx264 -x264opts keyint=50:min-keyint=50:no-scenecut -bf 0 -r 25 -b:v 4800k -maxrate 4800k -bufsize 3000k -profile:v main -crf 22 -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:10,scale=1920:1080,setsar=1" ../buffer/1080set.mp4

It seems to add long pause at low frame-rate:

concat demxuer

The concat demuxer needs all inputs to have the same formats, number of streams, type of streams, order of streams (or use exact_stream_id), timebase, frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel layout, and it is also recommended to have the same width and height.

In your case the timebase (tbn) of the first input is different than the rest. You can pre-process this input to conform it to the others:

ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -c copy -video_track_timescale 25k 1_reset.mp4

Then run your command using the concat demuxer.

concat filter

Because you're re-encoding anyway it may be easier for you to use the concat filter. This allows you to conform each input using various filters then concate all in one command. There are several examples of such use on this site.
