Re: [FFmpeg-user] DV to bob deinterlaced HEVC
I was surprised when macOS 11.0 Big Sur QuickTime Player seemed to
indicate that a mp4 converted from .dv started at 00:25:16 until
I noticed it defaulted displaying the SMPTE Timecode.
I did some quick tests with ffmpeg:
Adding '-timecode 00:00:00:00' (after the -preset slow if that
matters) to the encoding command seemed to set the starting
point at zero. And using '-write_tmcd off' seemed to omit the
timecode (and some related tags) completely.
Which approach would you suggest? I have never put any attention
to the timecode and I guess this is only a cosmetic issue.
But this is a big project so I would like to do it correctly.
At the moment I don’t know whether preserving the existing
timecodes would bring any benefits. These are old DV home movies
edited with iMovie and exported as up to 9 minute 27 sec .dv
clips (i.e. old iMovie versions max 2 GB clip size) to the
archive. I guess the timecode in those .dv files might be
a remnant of the old original clip that happened to start
that .dv file?
for i in *.dv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vf
bwdif=1,scale=788:576,crop=768:576:10:0,setsar=sar=1/1 -c:v libx265 -crf 18
-preset slow -timecode 00:00:00:00 -tag:v hvc1 -c:a aac -b:a 128k
"${i%.*}_converted.mp4"; done

Most of the footage was interlaced and the .mp4 output had unique frames. There were a only a few scenes where the camcorder's shutter speed was slower than 1/25s so those parts were progressive i.e. no comb lines in original .dv files and there were duplicate frames in the .mp4 output. I also tried to disable all motion smoothing options off in the television while evaluating the quality. I also compared two windows on a computer monitor. yadif and bwdif were set to output one frame for each field. I found bwdif somewhat better than yadif which leaves some minor "ripple" artifacts to the movie. BTW, I guess I could skip scaling and set the output .mp4 pixel aspect ratio the same as in the input PAL .dv 128/117 but I prefer to convert to square pixels. - Matti ___ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
Re: [FFmpeg-user] DV to bob deinterlaced HEVC
25fps vs 50fps difference is there but not so great as I expected. You might find that ffmpeg is duplicating each deinterlaced frame to output 50fps from the 25fps source. If you use yadif filter and configure to output a frame per field of interlaced source the resulting motion is dramatically improved at the expense of vertical resolution. Depending on the content type this option might be preferable. Thanks Adam > On 13 Nov 2020, at 19:40, Carl Eugen Hoyos wrote: > > Am Fr., 13.

While it may look similar (because only horizontal scaling was done), I don't think the output was identical. Both scaling and deinterlacing cannot be undone and do have an impact on quality (if you define quality as identity with a - possibly hypothetical - original). I can understand why you want to deinterlace, you should avoid the scaling (unless I miss something and you absolutely have to do it).

Maybe because only horizontal scaling was done. These are home DV movies shot with an unnEUterized Sony TRV320E and old VHS digitized with it. Several years ago I converted them all to deinterlaced H.264 with simple deinterlace. That quality is OK but I plan to re-encode those archived .dv files again with bob deinterlace as H.265 with smoother motion and slightly better quality with about the same or little larger file size. Some noisy DV scenes need CRF below 22. I tried to search noise reduction filters but maybe I just use CRF 18-20 for all material. The old VHS footage compresses well with bitrate automatically adjusted quite low with CRF 18 and even CRF 24 is OK with it. - Matti ___ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".

I guess it doesn't matter in which order libx265 options -crf, -preset

CRF 18-20(-22) seems like a sweet spot. CRF 24 or higher produce very
ugly artifacts to noisy parts of the footage.
There seems to be not much or any difference in quality between
-preset slow vs medium.
25fps vs 50fps difference is there but not so great as I expected.

Do some research, Matti. If the PAL DVD is a movie, note its running time and compare to an NTSC DVD
or Blu-ray running time. If the PAL DVD running time is 4% fast, then the video is actually p24. For
movies, that's almost always the case. If so, try forcing 24FPS and let me know how it goes. If the
video is okay (and it probably will be), then you will need to extract the audio, subs, and chapters
separately, stretch them by 25/24, and merge them with the video -- you could try mkvmerge (or
MKVToolNixGUI). Again, let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Mark.
