Hi Bob,
Do you have to use ffmpeg? I don't have much experience with Decklinks and ffmpeg but gstreamer appears to work well with Decklink cards, both source and destination now (version 1.41 and above) and I have used it for playback. If I understand your situation correctly, you want to capture an SD 525i source and create a file for subsequent burning to DVD-Video. If so, I can have a play with my system tomorrow and give you the equivalent gstreamer command line. I have a Decklink HD 3D Extreme to test with and am in PAL-land but should be able to find a 625i source to test with. The gstreamer Decklink plugin uses code from the official Decklink API and so should work well even though not directly supported by BMD.
Regards,
Dave.
