 |
|
Hi.
I've been given the task to copy a couple dozen miniDV tapes to a reasonable video format. I've already managed to use "dvgrab" to get the raw .dv files. The files are pretty big: 13GB per 1h of tape. My plan is to pipe the data from dvgrab to ffmpeg and save the compressed file. I'm just looking for an optimal codec.
In summary the requirements are:
- 720x576@25fps
- 2h or 4h of video on 4.5GB (DVD-R)
- decent quality
- the format has to be fairly popular, so that the files will be accessible in a few years from now
I've already tried the following, which seems to be ok:
| Code: | | ffmpeg -f dv -i - -f mpegts -b 4096k -ab 256k -y output.mpeg |
Is there something else you could recommend ? MPEG2, MPEG4 or something else ?
PS Additionally - Could you recommend a simple tool that could be used in the pipe, to partially correct errors and artifacts in the video ? (I'm getting a lot of pixelized areas and the common "AC EOB marker is absent"). |

i personally use x264 for archiving (my own  ) DVDs.
This one is quite modern, so probably still useable in a few years. When u use twopass it is quite accurate to bring the video to a given target size.
have no clue about errorcorrection though. but ffmpeg has a set of filters, maybe there is something which fits your needs |
