buggz Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hello, I am trying to transcode GH5 6K 10 Bit - 2X anamorphic video, to something sane for the average person to playback. VLC playback does not these files. I'm guessing I need to transcode them to 1080P for the average TV to play them properly? This should also be good for VLC playback, I would hope. BTW, I am on a windoze PC, STILL Win7PRo, as I refuse to go to Win10. I am also a hobbiest with a very stressful fultime job, so not much time to perform all of this properly. Sigh, how I would love to to do this fulltime! My biggest questions invove aspect ratio and rescalling. Not really understanding this properly. The excellent Mediainfo application reads the native files, MP4, as: Format : MPEG-4 Format profile : Base Media / Version 2 Codec ID : mp42 (mp42/hvc1) Bit rate : 192 Mb/s Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main 10@L6@High Codec ID : hvc1 Width : 4 992 pixels Height : 3 744 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4:3 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS Original frame rate : 59.940 (60000/1001) FPS Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 10 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.343 Color range : Full Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 I am using ffmpeg - ffmpeg-20170915-6743351-win64-static ffmpeg.exe -threads 4 -i "F:\pics\GH5\2017-15Sept-homecoming\6K\copies\P1077002.MP4" -r 29.97 -vf "setdar=dar='2.666:1/1',scale=w=9984:h=3744,colormatrix=bt709:bt470bg" -c:v prores "F:\pics\GH5\2017-15Sept-homecoming\6K\copies\P1077002-transcode.mov" Is this correct? The thumbnail seems to be close. I used the prores output as I wanted to try Davinci Resolve. Though, I know I need to output 1080P to give to my family and friends.
