Examples

For example to compute the CRC of the input, and store it in the file 'out.crc':

ffmpeg -i INPUT -f crc out.crc

You can print the CRC to stdout with the command:

ffmpeg -i INPUT -f crc -

You can select the output format of each frame with ffmpeg by specifying the audio and video codec and format. For example to compute the CRC of the input audio converted to PCM unsigned 8-bit and the input video converted to MPEG-2 video, use the command:

ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:a pcm_u8 -c:v mpeg2video -f crc -
