H.264 from DCP

-

ffmpeg -i input_video_file.mxf -i input_audio_file.mxf -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy output_file

-

This will transcode mxf wrapped video and audio files to an H.264 encoded .mp4 file. Please note this only works for non-encrypted DCPs.

ffmpeg -i input_video_file.mxf -i input_audio_file.mxf -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac output_file.mp4

This will transcode mxf wrapped video and audio files to an H.264 encoded .mp4 file. Please note this only works for unencrypted, single reel DCPs.

ffmpeg
starts the command
-i input_video_file
path and name of the video input file. This extension must be .mxf
-i input_audio_file
path and name of the audio input file. This extension must be .mxf
-c:v libx264
transcodes video to H.264
-
-pix_fmt yuv420p
sets pixel format to yuv420p
-
-c:a copy
use stream copy mode to re-mux instead of re-encode
-
output_file
path, name and extension of the output file
+
-pix_fmt yuv420p
sets pixel format to yuv420p for greater compatibility with media players
+
-c:a aac
re-encodes using the AAC audio codec
+ Note that sadly MP4 cannot contain sound encoded by a PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) audio codec
+
output_file.mp4
path, name and mp4 extension of the output file
+
+

Variation: Copy PCM audio streams by using Matroska instead of the MP4 container

ffmpeg -i input_video_file.mxf -i input_audio_file.mxf -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy output_file.mkv

+
+
-c:a copy
re-encodes using the same audio codec
+
output_file.mkv
path, name and .mkv extension of the output file
