Rewrap DV video to .dv file
+
ffmpeg -i input_file -f rawvideo -c:v copy output_file.dv
+
This script will take a video that is encoded in the DV Codec but wrapped in a different container (such as MOV) and rewrap it into a raw DV file (with the .dv extension). Since DV files potentially contain a great deal of provenance metadata within the DV stream, it is necessary to rewrap files in this method to avoid unintentional stripping of this metadata.
+
+ - ffmpeg
- starts the command
+ - -iinput_file
- path and name of the input file
+ - -f rawvideo
- this tells FFmpeg to pass the video stream as raw video data without remuxing. This step is what ensures the survival of embedded metadata versus a standard rewrap.
+ - -c:v copy
- copy the DV stream directly, without re-encoding.
+ - output_file.dv
- tells FFmpeg to use the DV wrapper for the output.
