Hey guys sorry for disturbing you again, but these days I have a lot of work to do with ffmpeg. I found on http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/wiki/XDCAMHD422Encoding vtag settings for XDCAM HD 422 and used them in my script, everything works fine for HD 422, now I am desperately searching for normal HD vtags and have found only one so far was xd3v for Apple XDCAM HD 1080i50 (35 Mb/s VBR) which I don't need because its interlaced. What I need are the vtags for 1080p24, 1080p25 and 1080p30. Here is the script I have found and adapted a bit:

ffmpeg -threads "4" -i "$2" -pix_fmt yuv420p -vtag xdv3 -vcodec mpeg2video -r 25 -flags +ildct+ilme -top 1 -dc 10 -intra_vlc 1 -non_linear_quant 1 -qmin 1 -qmax 3 -lmin '1*QP2LAMBDA' -rc_max_vbv_use 1 -rc_min_vbv_use 1 -b 35000k -minrate 35000k -maxrate 35000k -bufsize 36408333 -bf 2 -aspect 16:9 -acodec pcm_s16be -vf scale=${FC_PARAM_width}:${FC_PARAM_height} "$3"

If there are any other mistakes in the script, please correct me :)

What is a "normal HD vtag"? For the formats you want these are the vtags:

xd5d XDCAM HD422 1080p24 CBR
xd5e XDCAM HD422 1080p25 CBR
xd5f XDCAM HD422 1080p30 CBR
xdv6 XDCAM HD 1080p24 VBR
xdv7 XDCAM HD 1080p25 VBR
xdv8 XDCAM HD 1080p30 VBR
xd55 XDCAM HD422 720p25 CBR
xd59 XDCAM HD422 720p60 CBR

Hope this helps.

  • Thanks but it seems that there is a difference between XDCAM HD422 and XDCAM HD only. You see in my previous post I said that I used xdv3for HD only and I got Apple XDCAM HD (not HD 422) 1080i50 (35 Mb/s VBR) and I was searching for the other HD only vtags (if they exist)

  • @sebastian Okay I added the other ones in. I did not understand your query at first. But these are VBR.

  • first of all thank you very much, you were a great help. I have one last question left, do you seem to know the vtags for XDCAM HD422 720p25 CBR and XDCAM HD422 720p30 CBR too? These two would be the last missing vtags I need to know.

  • Thanks, but something gives me a headache. I used those presets for 720p25 and 720p30 and I can perfectly transcode my testclips, but the output is just sound and a green screen. Code looks like this ffmpeg -threads "4" -i "$2" -pix_fmt yuv422p -vcodec mpeg2video -r 25 -flags +ildct+ilme -top 1 -dc 10 -intra_vlc 1 -non_linear_quant 1 -qmin 1 -qmax 3 -lmin '1*QP2LAMBDA' -vtag xd55 -rc_max_vbv_use 1 -rc_min_vbv_use 1 -b 50000k -minrate 50000k -maxrate 50000k -bufsize 36408333 -bf 2 -aspect 16:9 -acodec pcm_s16be -vf scale=${FC_PARAM_width}:${FC_PARAM_height} "$3" where did I go wrong?
