• ffmpeg for archival and convertibility

  27 juillet 2021, par Satya

  I've got a couple hundred gigs of *.dv files. I'd like to convert them to H.264 or something else or even leave them alone. The purpose is archival, with an eye to maximum convertibility especially to DVD. The content is family videos.

  


  Would this be fine ?

  


  ffmpeg -i input.dv \
    -c:v libx264 -preset slower \
    -crf 17 \
    -pix_fmt yuv420p \
    output.mp4


  


  I went with the slower preset because encoding time isn't an issue and I'd like a smaller file size. crf 17 is for least-lossy while being widely playable. I read somewhere that yuv420p is needed for some Quicktime players.

  


  Should I throw in -c:a aac for AAC audio ? The audio is voice only, no need for music-hall quality.

  


  I looked at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264 for previous research and that's where I got those settings, but it is silent on the audio settings.

  


  Edited : My priorities, in order of importance, are :

  


  

  1. Compatibility

  


  2. Losslessness (doesn't have to be 100% lossless, hence crf of 17 and not 0)

  


  3. File size

  


  


  Most of the input files say this :

  


  [lavf] stream 0: video (dvvideo), -vid 0
[lavf] stream 1: audio (pcm_s16le), -aid 0
VIDEO:  [dvsd]  720x480  0bpp  29.970 fps  25000.0 kbps (3051.8 kbyte/s)
Selected video codec: [ffdv] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg DV)
AUDIO: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 1024.0 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 128000->128000)
Selected audio codec: [pcm] afm: pcm (Uncompressed PCM)


  


  Output from ffmpeg :

  


  Stream #0:1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1024 kb/s

• too long video trace file volume ?

  12 juin 2021, par david

  I have produced an XML trace file of a 20-sec video and the volume of this trace file is 8.57 Gigabyte !! the videos is encoded using this command :

  


  ffmpeg  -i  input_1080p60.mp4  -c:v  libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p  -b:v 8000K -bufsize 8000K -minrate 8000K -maxrate 8000K -x264opts keyint=120:min-keyint=120 -preset veryfast -profile:v high out_1080p.mp4


  


  then I used the following command I changed the format in .264 because the input of JM software for producing an XML trace file is .264 :

  


  ffmpeg  -i  out_1080p.mp4  -c:v  libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p  -b:v 8000K -bufsize 8000K -minrate 8000K -maxrate 8000K -x264opts keyint=120:min-keyint=120 -preset veryfast -profile:v high out_1080p.264


  


  after using JM using the following code :

  


  ldecod.exe -i E:\software\out_1080p.264 -o E:\software\out.yuv -xmltrace out_1080p_xml.xml


  


  it is really weird for me. because I have more than 1000 videos that I need to produce their trace files and I do not know what should I do with this size of the trace file. furthermore, I can not open a file with this volume and no software can open the file !! :((. could you please tell me what is the problem ? and how can I solve it ? do you know another way to produce this trace file ?
