I uses the following command that can extract the mpeg4 raw video file：
ffmpeg -i D:\mp4v-mp4\test\360.mov -vcodec copy -an -f rawvideo D:\mp4v-mp4\test\360CmdSplit_std.dat
but how can I convert the rawvideo file back to a playable mp4 file.
I have tried the follow cmd, but failed:
ffmpeg -y -f m4v -i D:\mp4v-mp4\test\360CmdSplit_std1.dat -vcodec copy D:\mp4v-mp4\test\tmp360.mp4
the first cmd(extract the raw mp4v video) is success,logs:
D:\install\ffmpeg-4.3.1-essentials_build\bin>ffmpeg.exe -i D:\mp4v-mp4\MOV\360(mp4v_aac).mov -vcodec copy -an -f rawvideo D:\mp4v-mp4\MOV\360mov_std.dat

I am recording screen capture of my Electron app to a file, as suggested here: Save captured video to file in Electron
It works great, but the file is a “transport stream”. I can play it in Chrome browser, but can’t adjust the time slider.
The suggestion was to use ffmpeg to post-process the file. The simplest, straight-forward command I found is:
ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i in.webm out.webm
I thought that this simply generates timestamps. However, the out.webm file is 15 times smaller than in.webm! I don’t see any change in the quality. The downside is - the processing takes about the same time as the duration of the video.
Two questions:
Is there any way I can speedup this “timestamping” process?
Can I record a video that is already 15 times smaller in size?
I specify maxFrameRate: 30 when calling webkitGetUserMedia().
Here is the output of that ffmpeg command:

I am fairly sure your FFmpeg processing isn't exactly what you think it is -- with your command line, particularly with absence of certain explicit switches, FFmpeg will transcode your video and audio at its own discretion, which is why your output file is much smaller -- the data have been re-compressed, with potentially loss of quality.
If you just want to generate the index necessary for the kind of seeking most players do, and avoid the undesired transcoding, the following command line will suffice:
ffmpeg -i <input-file> -codec copy <output-file>
On a minor note, do take into account that without an additional explicit switch to instruct it otherwise, FFmpeg infers the output container format from the output file name extension. I assume both your input and output are WebM, so there isn't any issue in your case. But even if they weren't, re-muxing media into another format of container doesn't have to result in quality loss.
As you can surmise from the command line above, just running FFmpeg without any explicit switch pertaining to "generation of frame time index", causes it to build the index anyway. It will do so with or without transcoding taking place.
P.S. There are some players, like [the now abandoned] MPC-HC, which are able to seek at least some transport streams. I expect it to be able to seek your kind of WebM media. I don't know the exact details on how it actually does the seeking, but if I would guess I'd say it simply does a linear search from some appropriate location in the media (or the very beginning) for a frame matching the time of seek. Much like looking for a row in a database table which doesn't have an index to help with the search predicate.
I am trying to relay an stream from one rtsp url to another without recoding using this command:
ffmpeg
-rtsp_transport tcp
-fflags nobuffer
-re
-i rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/[stream_name]
-vcodec copy
-an
-f rtsp rtsp://yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/[new_stream_name]
But FFMPEG doesn't stream anything and stats shows bitrate=N/A
This is the exact output that i get:

Although when i change output stream container to 'flv' and protocol to 'rtmp' it works.
Any help will be appreciated.
To have stream accessible you need to publish it to a streaming server that supports RTSP input (like Wowza SE) and that usually also involves publishing credentials like:
rtsp://user:password#yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/[new_stream_name]
You can test re-streaming with this tool https://videonow.live/broadcast-ip-camera-or-stream/ that can also publish it in a HTML5 accessible format like HLS.
When I run this command from the shell it works perfectly.

Please help.
This is some dummy text I am writing because it looks like stack overflow does not accept less description and more code. Please don't mind these sentences. I cant believe that I am still writing this and it is still requesting me to add some more description. I am still doing it. Don't know till what extent do I have to write. I hope this much is enough.
Got the error.
The input file contains timestamps each one on a new line so it was taking the '\n' character along with the timestamp in the ffmpeg command. Hence it considered -vcodec as a new command and resulted in error.
I can't get ffmpeg to work with live streams from youtube. Normal non-live videos work just fine. But with live streams ffmpeg seems like it doesn't make enough requests for new segments. It basically downloads, say a 3 second segment, then nothing happens for 10 seconds or so, then it downloads a new segment, repeat...
ffmpeg -i '$(./youtube-dl -f best -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emGI3UrzIMc)' -f flv rtmp://192.168.0.11/myapp/mystream
So what's the automagic command?

Following is the output of the command above. The <MY NOTE #> is added by me for description purposes.
At start execution goes smoothly. It then freezes for 10 or 15 sec at <MY NOTE 1>. It then downloads the part of the stream - <MY NOTE 2>, plays is, then freezes again for some seconds. Then downloads the next part - <MY NOTE 3>, plays it, freezes, and so on...

And you don't have to output to a rtmp. Can be a local file - behavior is the same.
Try using the hls prefix. Example:
