Cover image: datamosh effect applied to Drake’s “Hotline Bling.” Datamoshing. First off, what is it? Perhaps you’ve seen it in glitchy videos by mistake, or perhaps you’ve seen it used for a stylized purpose in videos by ASAP Mob and ASAP Rocky.

About ffmpegX:
ffmpegX is a Mac OS X graphic user interface designed to easily operate more than 20 powerful Unix open-source video and audio processing tools includingffmpeg the 'hyper fast video and audio encoder' (http://ffmpeg.sf.net/), mpeg2enc the open-source mpeg-2 encoder and multiplexer (http://mjpeg.sf.net/MacOS/)and mencoder the mpeg-4 encoder with subtitles support(http://sf.net/projects/mplayerosx).
Please note: the ffmpegX project is not associated with the ffmpeg project, and support emails about ffmpegX should not be sent to the ffmpeg project !
- As simple as 1.2.3 : Drop a file, choose a destination format, and click 'Encode'.
- Reads the following input formats: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DIVX, XviD, non-encrypted VOB and VIDEO_TS, Quicktime .MOV, .DV, .WAV, Real Audio, Real Video, H.263, MP4 H.264, PGM, YUV, PPM, AC3, PCM8/16 bits, mulaw/Alaw, WMA-1/2, SUN AU format, MP2, MP3, AAC, 3GP, FPS1, ALAC, and even more formats
- Converts the above formats to DivX, AVI XviD, H.264 MP4, MOV, DV, 3GP, Sony PSP, MP2, MP3, AAC, AC3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD, CVD, SVCD, KVCD, KSVCD, DVD, KDVD and MPEG-TS with complete control over encoding options.
- Super-fast. Many conversions are faster than realtime. DIVX encoding on a G5 dual is twice as faster as realtime.
- Queue encodings in the ffmpegX Progress window.
- Includes a full-featured universal video player (mplayer) supporting VOB and text subtitles, with choice of fonts, font sizes and international text encodings including Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Greek and more.
- Supports subtitles in VobSub, SubRip, MicroDVD, SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub and MPsubt formats
- Allows creation of DVD selectable subtitles
- Includes a subtitle converter with OCR from VOB image format to SRT text format.
- Includes a bitrate calculator to control best image quality and target filesize.
- Includes an automatic crop tool.
- Includes aseries of video tools like split, join, fix, mux, demux.
- Compresses a non-encrypted DVD to 4GB without reencoding it.
- Reauthors SVCD as DVD.
- Creates DVD image files from VIDEO_TS folders.
- Converts SRT subtitles to DVD Studio Pro 1.5 format.
- Creates AVI or MPG files with two audio tracks.
- Authorsas VCD or K/XVCD (.bin/.cue files for burning with Toast by dropping the .bin into VCD window).
- Authors as SVCD, CVD or K/XSVCD (two .img files to be burned in Toast under Multitrack XA window).
- Authors as DVD (/DVD/ folder for burning in Toast DVD mode, and .img file for burning in Disk Image app or Toast disk image mode).
I’ve started playing around with video art.
In particular, I’m exploring how to make destructive effects with datamoshing and how to generate style transfers with deep learning. The results are unpredictable and weird. It’s fun.
I’ve made a video art repo to track my work. It has links to resources I’ve found helpful and code for manipulating video and running command-line scripts.
Here are my findings so far.
Datamoshing
Avidemux
Avidemux is a free tool commonly used for datamoshing. You can also do basic video editing with it, though many people edit the original videos in some other software (e.g. Premiere).
Here are some good introductions to Avidemux:
Other handy tools to have are VLC for viewing and converting a variety of video files and ffmpeg as a general command-line video utility.
Datamosh Studio Download
Many people report that Avidemux doesn’t work as well for datamoshing on newer versions of OS X (I don’t know about Windows or Linux). Some people recommend using a different operating system (e.g. with VirtualBox).
I tried downloading Avidemux 2.5.4 based on these instructions — TUTORIAL How to install avidemux for datamoshing on Mac OS X - Art! - Glitchet Forum — but it wouldn’t load on my system (OSX Mojave).
That said, Avidemux 2.7.1 seems to be stable on a fully updated Mac. Here are instructions for using a later version (> 2.7) of Avidemux: Datamoshing using Avidemux 2.7.0. Using these settings, I was able to get some glitch effects, but they were hit or miss. Your mileage may vary.

Scripts
These are command-line tools for datamoshing and glitching videos:
Audacity
Someone used Audacity successfully to do datamoshing - Datamosh’d a screenshot with Audacity, came out pretty vibrant. : datamoshing.
