Description (last modified by )
Summary of the bug:
The loudnorm audio filter is slow.
On my M2 Max MacBook Pro running FFmpeg 7.1, it typically reaches 25-35x speed with true-peak detection enabled.
Some other ITU1770 implementations manage better throughput. I’m currently aware of the following implementations:
- ffmpeg's own ebur128 filter: 200x (w/ peak=true), 900x (w/ peak=sample), 1000x (w/ peak=none)
- libebur128 (C library): similar to FFmpeg's loudnorm
- ebur128 (Rust port of libebur128): reportedly only moderately faster than libebur128 according to authors
- bs1770gain: ≈100x faster than realtime
- Adobe Audition: takes the crown, at ≈275x faster than realtime
How to reproduce:
% ffmpeg -i sometestaudiofile -vn -af loudnorm -f null /dev/null
Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this bug tracker.
