I-frame-only 50 Megabit MPEG-2 or
comparable
DV50 in
4:2:2 as
high-end, "visually lossless" intermediate
format for
archival and
suited for editing?
-----------------
Regarding DV50, FFMpeg has a friendly
"target
dv50"
support
(similar as "target DVD"). So to get a
first
look on a
DV50 test
file, I simply transcoded 422/10bit
Video and PCM
audio from a MOV
file (ProRes 422HQ) to a raw DV50
(422/8bit) file:
ffmpeg -i SD-MOV.mov -target pal-dv50
SD-DV50.dv

re-encoded/remuxed)

===================
As seen above, it looks like ffmpeg
produced wrong
meta data for
the DV50 video bitrate (25 Mb/s=DV25),
while
the total
bitrate
57.6 Mb/s is correct. (Also similar
was seen with
ffprobe and
Mediainfo).
My VLC player or Gnome movieplayer did not
playback
the DV50 file,
while ffplay did (as usual without
audio?).
Cin-GG miss a DV50 preset among format
setting.
However DV50 else
loades preliminary OK in Cin-GG (via
ffmpeg).
I'll look at dv50 output preset..
Fine

I tried also to transcode and remux 422 Video and PCM
Audio to a
50 Mbps MPEG-2 I-frame only program stream.

The SD-MP2I-50.mpg playback ok with VLC, Gnome
movieplayer,
ffplay, and loads and playback in Cin-GG
The audio volume seems low (weak), but can probably be
adjusted
higher with ffmpeg
well, but I missed keyframe parameter? bitrate is big
but I
think without special param ffmpeg still will not make
all-I
mpeg2 stream..?
The first Video part of my ffmpeg script was based on this
standard FFmpeg Howto for
"MPEG-2 I-frame only Highest Quality Encoding", which didn't
include a keyframe parameter !?

you missed

Thanks for reviewing. "-intra" should definitely be there, and I
know I used it before editing and troubleshooting the audiopart,
removing -an. Cleaned up and added also some other parameters

153M SD-MP2I-.mpg (5)
146M SD-MP2I50-an.m2v (6)
As seen, no size difference between -intra (3) and without intra
flag specified (4) above:
186/205 = 90% size of the input SD-DV50.dv
I would expect this due to high bitrate and some more effectiv
video compression for MPEG-2 over DV50.
While the consumer DV25/4:2:0 pal uses 5:1 intra compression, the
pro(sumer) DV50/4:2:2 uses lower 3.3:1.
-------------
7) Another, equivalent SD MPEG-2/ 422P@ML option to setup for
Cin-GG/ FFMpeg preset could be:
D10 aka Sony IMX50 Encoding - a standard definition professional
video recording format. Uses intraframe
compression, 4:2:2 color subsampling and user-selectable constant
video data rate of 30, 40 or 50 Mbit/s.
422P@ML 720 × 576 25 FPS 4:2:2 Sampling 50 Mbits/s
Sony IMX50 (I only), Broadcast Contribution (I&P only)
The Howto contains both a short and a long script version.
----------------
ffmpeg changes cmd line and API quickly.. (
try "-g 1" and check keyframes with some linevlike those?

I tried to copy and paste some line from the manual url, but
If you possibly can setup an exact FF syntax to run here, I can do
it ;)
