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.
