I thought I might be able to use an AVAssetReader/Writer
to trim an MP4, but when I attempt to read the audio (haven't tried video yet), I get this:
AVAssetReaderOutput does not currently support compressed output
Is there any way to read an MP4 off disk via AVAssetReader
?
let asset: AVAsset = AVAsset(URL: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: filePath))
let audioTrack: AVAssetTrack = asset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)[0]
let audioTrackOutput: AVAssetReaderOutput = AVAssetReaderTrackOutput(track: audioTrack, outputSettings:
[AVFormatIDKey: NSNumber(unsignedInt: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC)])
if let reader = try? AVAssetReader(asset: asset) {
if reader.canAddOutput(audioTrackOutput) {
reader.addOutput(audioTrackOutput)
}
reader.startReading()
var done = false
while (!done) {
let sampleBuffer: CMSampleBufferRef? = audioTrackOutput.copyNextSampleBuffer()
if (sampleBuffer != nil) {
print("buffer")
//process
} else {
if (reader.status == AVAssetReaderStatus.Failed) {
print("Error: ")
print(reader.error)
} else {
done = true
}
}
}
}
AVAssetExportSession is the solution. SCAssetExportSession works even better.
