ffmpeg dv encoder and premiere pro

[smok3]

iam using:

ffmpeg -i film.mp4 -vcodec dvvideo film.avi

command line to transcode some x264 videos to DV format for editing. the generated files will drop nicely on the premiere pro timeline (no need to render anything to play), however nothing gets through firewire preview (no problems with files generated with cedocida for example..), any clues?

:thanks:

another problem i found is 1 missing frame..., so i guess ill abort this...,

is there a working mencoder/libdv compile available for windows?

you could try this to analyse the problem:

1. encode one black frame with the cedocida encoder
2. encode one black frame with ffmpeg
use a hex editor or a hex-file-copare-tool and see where the difference is. Maybe on is Type1 and the other Type2?

they are both type2, ill try the hex editor way.

Did you render the project? If not, the reason you cant see anything in the firewire prevew is that your firewire device doesn't understand AVC :)

Blue_MiSfit, as i wrote, it is DV (transcoded back from x264 in mp4 using FFMPEG)

and another problem, files over 2 gigs are bork, well iam switching back to avisynth/haali/vdub/cedocida now :)
