I-frame-only 50 Megabit MPEG-2 or comparable DV50 in
4:2:2 as
high-end, "visually lossless" intermediate format for
archival and
suited for editing?
-----------------
Regarding DV50, FFMpeg has a friendly "target dv50"
support
(similar as "target DVD"). So to get a first look on a
DV50 test
file, I simply transcoded 422/10bit Video and PCM
audio from a MOV
file (ProRes 422HQ) to a raw DV50 (422/8bit) file:
ffmpeg -i SD-MOV.mov -target pal-dv50 SD-DV50.dv

===================
As seen above, it looks like ffmpeg produced wrong
meta data for
the DV50 video bitrate (25 Mb/s=DV25), while the total
bitrate
57.6 Mb/s is correct. (Also similar was seen with
ffprobe and
Mediainfo).
My VLC player or Gnome movieplayer did not playback
the DV50 file,
while ffplay did (as usual without audio?).
Cin-GG miss a DV50 preset among format setting.
However DV50 else
loades preliminary OK in Cin-GG (via ffmpeg).
I'll look at dv50 output preset..
Fine

I tried also to transcode and remux 422 Video and PCM Audio to a
50 Mbps MPEG-2 I-frame only program stream.

***** The SD-MP2I-50.mpg file size is here 90% of DV50 ********
The SD-MP2I-50.mpg playback ok with VLC, Gnome movieplayer,
ffplay, and loads and playback in Cin-GG
The audio volume seems low (weak), but can probably be adjusted
higher with ffmpeg
well, but I missed keyframe parameter? bitrate is big but I think without special param ffmpeg still will not make all-I mpeg2 stream..?
The first Video part of my ffmpeg script was based on this standard FFmpeg Howto for
"MPEG-2 I-frame only Highest Quality Encoding", which didn't include a keyframe parameter !?
https://brunosan.eu/images/ffmpeg_howto.html#Encoding_MPEG-2_I-frame_only_in_Highest_Quality
ffmpeg -i <input_file> -vcodec mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv422p -qscale 1 -qmin 1 -intra -an output.m2v
you missed
-intra?
ffmpeg changes cmd line and API quickly.. (
try "-g 1" and check keyframes with some linevlike those?
I dropped -pix_fmt yuv422p when I saw it was detected and automatic from the input file.
So I added the second PCM Audio part (similar I did for SD-DV) according to 1. Answer at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48265448/mpeg-2-program-stream-w-pcm-audio
FFmpeg only supports muxing 16 bit PCM in a MPEG2 PS. Use
ffmpeg -i "input.mov" \
-c:v mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv422p -bf 2 -b:v 50M -maxrate 50M -minrate 50M \
-s 1920x1080 -aspect 16:9 \
-c:a pcm_s16be -f vob "output.mpg"
The -f vob is needed to force a MPEG-2 PS, else ffmpeg will select MPEG-1 Systems muxer.
