Hi i have problems using -tag:v or -vtag to set the correct codec for Quicktime in my case encoding xdcamhd422 defaults to xd5e for 25P but needs to be set xd5c for 50i when encoded with interlaced video.
ffmpeg -i PRORES_HD50I.MOV -map 0:v -c:v mpeg2video -flags +ildct+ilme -top 1 -dc 10 -q:v 1 -qmin 1 -bf 2 \ -rc_max_vbv_use 1 -rc_min_vbv_use 1 -g 12 -b:v 50000k -minrate 50000k \ -maxrate 50000k -bufsize 17825792 -tag:v xd5c TEST.MOV This seems to be true for all codecs this is a simple example to show this -tag:v apcs = prores LT ./ffmpeg -f lavfi -r 25 -i testsrc -t 10 -c:v prores -tag:v apcs ~/Desktop/TEST_SRC.MOV With this command de resulting file is still set to apcn as tested with dumpster and Quicktime7 player. ffmpeg version N-79717-gdeaf58a Copyright (c) 2000-2016 the FFmpeg developers built with Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81) configuration: --disable-sdl --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-static libavutil 55. 23.100 / 55. 23.100 libavcodec 57. 38.100 / 57. 38.100 libavformat 57. 35.100 / 57. 35.100 libavdevice 57. 0.101 / 57. 0.101 libavfilter 6. 44.100 / 6. 44.100 libswscale 4. 1.100 / 4. 1.100 libswresample 2. 0.101 / 2. 0.101 libpostproc 54. 0.100 / 54. 0.100 Input #0, lavfi, from 'testsrc': Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: rawvideo (RGB[24] / 0x18424752), rgb24, 320x240 [SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn File '/Users/macbook/Desktop/TEST_SRC.MOV' already exists.
