Is it because > ffmpeg can't handle dpx version 2? So your question is not if FFmpeg can be used to archive the video of dpx version 2 to ffv1 but if FFmpeg can write dpx version 2 files? No, FFmpeg always writes version 1 dpx files. Why do you want to output version 2 files? I would naively have expected that they are less compatible (can be decoded with less applications). I don't know if you remember / were there: I tried to explain at Nttw2 that FFmpeg is not a file archiver, it is a transcoding tool, you can use it to archive video and audio (but not files, only their content). If you have the infrastructure to keep the dpx files (and if you need them), you don't have to transcode them to ffv1, if costs matter, I don't think there is a good reason to keep the dpx files and there should be no reason to ever recreate them. (If you decide to keep them, FFmpeg allows you to create a view copy which may be even more useful than an ffv1 archive copy.) Iirc, here is a tool by Jerome that does act like a file archiving system for dpx files (and uses ffv1 internally).
