FinalRip

a distributed video processing tool, based on FFmpeg and VapourSynth

Architecture

We cut the original video into multiple clips, and then process each clip in parallel in queue order. After all clips are processed, we merge them into the final video.

Preparations

docker and docker-compose
Nvidia GPU / AMD GPU with ROCm support (7000 series on WSL2)
GPU container runtime (optional)
make (optional)

Quick Deployment

edit Line 19 to your LAN IP address

docker-compose -f deploy/docker-compose/lite/docker-compose.yml up -d

It will run all containers in a single host, then open http://localhost:8989 in your browser to access the dashboard, open http://localhost:8080 to access the Asynq monitor.

Start

We use this container as the base image, which contains FFmpeg, VapourSynth, PyTorch...

So in the dashboard, we can select a compatible script to process the video!

Distributed Deployment

Deploy the system in a distributed way, you can refer to the docker-compose directory for more details.

first, run docker-compose-base.yml to start the basic services, and open Consul dashboard, add a K/V pair with key finalrip.yml and value is the content of finalrip.yml -- or your own configuration file

then, run docker-compose-server.yml to start the dashboard, server, cut worker, and merge worker services

finally, run docker-compose-encode.yml to start the encode worker services, we can deploy multiple encode workers in different hosts to speed up the encoding process

Note: we suggest that deploy oss service, cut & merge worker in the same host

Configuration

Override the default configuration by setting:

Environment variables >> Config File / Remote Config File (Consul)

Special Env Variables:

FINALRIP_REMOTE_CONFIG_HOST Consul host, default is None, that means load config from local file. When set, it will load the config from the Consul K/V store. When set to EASYTIER / easytier, will try load config from FINALRIP_EASYTIER_HOST:8500 (10.126.126.251:8500 by default).
FINALRIP_REMOTE_CONFIG_KEY Consul key, default is finalrip.yml

A new script?

In vs-playground, we provide the same environment as the encode worker, so you can develop and test your script in the playground.

For Advanced User

API document: here
Build your own encode image: refer to the vs-playground, and set the Template Repo name in dashboard if you wanna select a script from the repo's templates folder.
