For now, how about if I just add a comment to ffv1.mkv about
level numbers? That way the user will see this if they look
and can decide for themselves. Otherwise if we make every
possible setting available we will end up with millions of
choices and then if we have new ones labeled _3, when level 4
comes along we would need even more as _4.
ok, add comment please}
Ok, maybe I'm thinking aload quite "outside the box" here with my
questions * below:
I seems for me Cin-GG supports ffv1.mkv in two instances (did't
find other mentioned in the manual either):
1) File > Save as: ffv1.mkv (that is save current edited video
from Cin-GG)
and
2) File > Record
using Video compression according to
Settings > Preferences > Record
File format: FFMPEG mkv
Video wrench: Compression: ffv1.mkv or user_ffv1.mkv
* Could i.e the empty <Format box> here be used to input
levels and/or other user options?
Further down on this window
Video IN
Record driver: i.e Video4Linux
* Or possibly get BM Intensity/declink SDK card
working/integrated with ffmpeg/Cin-GG?
if you find programmer familiar with both ends.. Cin-gg uses her own code for dealing with v4l2, not ffmpeg's.
So Cin-gg doesn't use ffmpeg to capture/record video directly from a video/TV capture card?
she uses ffmpeg for compression/muxing (and some effects), but not for interfacing with device...
But I'm not sure I really understand where Record/prefs/preset ffv1.mkv (2 above) get into this picture?
Just to record (encode and save) the pre-captured video in a lossless ffv1.mkv file format?
no, you are right - this option selects capture codec
What would possible benefits be if ffmpeg had been used to capture/record video via the capture card?
Or do we miss something without ffmpeg doing this?
we miss declink support )
In the case of BM Decklink or Intensity Pro 4k, Media Express is available (deb, rpm on Linux) for free capture and playback uncompressed 8 or 10-bit video or compressed ProRes.
I also noticed there is no way to capture 10 bit rgb/yuv via v4l2.. ( (simply no define for such formats)
A forum user had found out that Quicktime uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 .MOV was the same codec as AJA v210 for 10-bit uncompressed, i.e. it did not require rendering when placed into the FCP timeline. Bit rates examples:
625 PAL uncompressed 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 26 MB per/sec, or 93 GB per/hr.
720p HDTV uncompressed 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94 = 140 MB per/sec, or 494 GB per/hr.
1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed:
10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 132 MB per/sec, or 463 GB per/hr.
yeah, and if you want more than 1 stream multiply this by num. of streams..

obviously you can try to just copy frames into mov for 'as uncompressed as possible' and hope your disk(s) will keep up! (I've heard stories some ssd dislike being full - their write speed drop down dramatically.. so try to write to not very full ssd. Not sure abount newer nvme.. or raids from them!)
from
https://github.com/wonderunit/storyboarder/wiki/Recording-Live-Camera-and-Desktop-on-Linux-using-Blackmagic-Decklink
* Get the option to preserve/archive transcoded ffv1.mkv
directly to a storage device?
probably not? (no support for arbitrary compressed frames and their metadata in internal representation.. not impossible, but no one did it yet)
* And/or get the option to load /pipe (uncompressed) video
files recorded on one storage (SSD) device,
compress it with the right preset ffv1.mkv and save it to
another storage device.
should be default mode of operation for files (not sure about purely raw video w/o any container, apart from dvvideo, but some types of raw rgb/yuv in avi/mov should work.. test a bit?) , for piping...
try video loopback?
https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback
it may even work for declink input, if your ffmpeg can input frames from declink and output to v4l2..
https://superuser.com/questions/1330959/what-is-the-right-ffmpeg-output-format-for-a-v4l2-loopback-device
some variation of
ffmpeg examples
Grab desktop:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -framerate 25 -video_size 1280x720 -i :0.0+0,0 -f v4l2 /dev/video0
Send file:
ffmpeg -re -i input.mp4 -f v4l2 /dev/video0
or (in answers)
ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 60 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -f v4l2 /dev/video0
guess you can try variation of such cmdline with declink input after compiling non-free ffmpeg with Blackmagick sdk...
we also probably can use such line for testing non-trivial v4l2 formats in Cinelerra-gg ..

not sure if we should modify our avi/mkv profikes

Without own experience yet, I would ask if there any
reason to not use the latest and more feature rich
FFV1 level=version 3? Backward compitibility, typical
can v. 3 uncompress v. 1 compressed archives?
good question... I have older avplay (~2012) here and
will test.
for now it seems only ffv1.avi defaults to v.0 and mkv
defaults to 3.4 due to crc protection per slice, i think

I conclude that a couple of referense papers on the
web say and use level 3 in their profile/presets:
1) Video into Matroska/FFV1
https://avpres.net/FFmpeg/im_FFV1.html
<https://avpres.net/FFmpeg/im_FFV1.html>
We advise to use only the version 3 of FFV1 in
production, because the version 1 is deprecated, the
version 2 has never really existed, and the version 4
is currently under development.
Transcode a video file using the FFV1 codec into the
Matroska container for preservation purposes.
