[CAPTURE] Intensity Pro + FFMPEG

Hi everyone,
since Media Express don't let users to set any parameter, we're going to exploit FFMPEG powerfulness that works quite straight forward and allows to apply some processing (eg. deinterlace) on the fly.

We're atying to "put together" an FFMPEG command line that will squeeze out the maximum possible quality from our capture rig.

At the moment we've started tests with this (ffplay):

Code: Select all

ffplay -rtbufsize 2048M -pixel_format uyvy422 -framerate 25 -f dshow -i video="Decklink Video Capture":audio="Decklink Audio Capture" -aspect 4:3 -vf "yadif=1"

It seems to work, but it's clearly far from optimum result:


We've read something about Blackmagic-specific FFMPEG parameters but are still unclear, so we do need the expertise of users who's already faced these challenges.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can/will help.

OK, we updated the commandline:

Code: Select all

ffplay -rtbufsize 1G -pixel_format uyvy422 -framerate 25 -f dshow -i video="Decklink Video Capture":audio="Decklink Audio Capture" -aspect 4:3 -vf "scale=in_range=full:out_range=full,lut='y=(va l-16)*1.067',bwdif=mode=send_field:parity=auto:deint=all"

Result:


Now investigating sws_flags parameters...
