+ This chapter gives an introduction to Digital Video
+ processing with transcode. Here is a list of features:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> AVI-files with Digital Video streams can be
+ decoded with
+ <ul>
+ <li><i>libdv</i> (default)
+ <li><i>ffmpeg</i> (-x ffmpeg)
+ </ul>
+
+ <li> concatenating clips with directory mode and option "-i <i>direname</i>"
+ before processing.
+ <li> a couple of fast or high-quality de-interlace
+ <a href=filter.html#video>filters</a> available to
+ enhance the quality.
+ <li> support for encoding to DV with <i>libdv</i> as raw
+ stream or interleaved AVI-file.
+ <li> pass-through mode: raw DV -> AVI-file conversion.
+ </ul>
+
+ Unfortunately, while most linux player happily accept the AVI-DV files
+ produced by <i>transcode</i>, the nonlinear DV video
+ editor <a href=http://www.schirmacher.de/arne/kino/><i>kino</i></a>
+ refuses to work with them.

+
+ Here is a 3 step guide to convert a DV tape to a compressed AVI
+ MPEG-4 movie clip under linux using <i>transcode</i>. For a
+ selection of a video codec implementation supported by
+ transcode consult the <a href=modules.html> modules</a> info-page.
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> You need Arne Schirmacher's nice tool <i>dvgrab</I>
+ to transfer the DV tape to disk. Make sure, you use
+ the "--format dv2" option and maybe "--autosplit" to split
+ the tape into small pieces. Use AVI files, since
+ libdv sound seems to be broken. Optionally, use <br><br>
+ <FONT color=red> tcprobe -i&nbsp; file.avi <br><br>
+ </i> to find out important parameters: For example:
+
+ <p><code>
+
+[tcprobe] RIFF data, AVI video
+[avilib] V: 25.000 fps, codec=dvsd, frames=633, width=720, height=576 <br>
+[avilib] A: 48000 Hz, format=0x01, bits=16, channels=2, bitrate=1536
+ kbps, <br>
+[avilib] 633 chunks, 4861528 bytes <br>
+[tcprobe] summary for test-2002.10.04_14-47-25.avi, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected<br>
+import frame size: -g 720x576 [720x576] <br>
+ frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3 <br>
+ audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x1 [0x2000] (*)
+ bitrate=1536 kbps <br>
+ length: 633 frames, frame_time=40 msec <br>
+</code><p>
+
+ Fortunately, the auto-probing feature
+ of <i>transcode</i> takes care of these details.
+ <br><br>
+
+ <li> To encode the clips, we have a number of options:
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> writing a shell script, that feeds transcode with each
+ file,
+ <li> using <i>avimerge</i> to create a single
+ input file,
+
+ <li> using the directory mode with option "-i". This
+ works only in connection with the import module <i>import_dv.so</i>.
+ </ul>
+
+ <a name=dv_avi><h3>AVI-file</h3></a>
+
+ Here,
+ we use a single AVI-file <i>file.avi</i> with "dvsd" codec
+ as an example: <p>
+
+
+ <table>
+ <tr>
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ transcode</td>
+
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -i file.avi -x dv,avi</td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr><td></td>
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -I 1 -C 1 -z -k </td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <td></td><td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -o file-divxmp3.avi -y divx4</td></tr>
+
+ </table>
+
+ <br>
+
+ We use <i>import_avi.so</i> to extract the audio,
+ which works flawless. Note that the audio is found in two
+ places in the AVI-file. Firstly, interleaved in the DV video
+ frame and secondly, the PCM audio track itself.
+ This makes it possible to use the import module "dv" for audio
+ extraction as long <i>libdv</i> is broken.<br>
+ Note: some non-dvgrab produced AVI-files may have the audio
+ ripped from the DV frames. In this case, you must use "-x
+ dv,avi" or "-x dv,X", were X is one of (raw,mp3,ac3).
+<br>
+
+ You can also reduce
+ the picture to a quarter size "-r 2" to get rid of
+ the interlace artifacts and don't need the de-interlace
+ option "-I 1". This option is the fastes de-interlacing
+ available, but is a simple interpolation.
+ You might also want to try
+ out the anti-aliasing feature with "-C 1" to process the
+ whole frame but this is slow.
+ The option "-z -k" flips the frame and make the
+ necessary color space changes for the encoder.
+
+
+ <a name=dv_dv><h3>DV stream</h3></a>
+
+ Put all AVI-files or raw DV stream into a subdirectory,
+ e.g., named "tape/". <p>
+
+
+ <table>
+ <tr>
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ transcode</td>
+
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -i tape/ </td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <tr><td></td>
+ <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -I 3 -C 2 -z -k </td>
+ </tr>
+
+ <td></td><td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc">
+ -o tape-divxmp3.avi -y divx4</td></tr>
+
+ </table>
+
+ <br>
+
+ The necessary import module is autodetected. <i>tccat</i> extracts
+ the video stream of all AVI-files and concatenates them together to
+ make the clips appear as a single DV stream for <i>transcode</i>.
+
+ Here, the de-interlace option "-I 3",
+ which drops one half-frame and interpolates by zooming to full
+ frame size and, in principle, removes the interlace artifacts. We also try
+ the anti-aliasing feature with "-C 2" to process the
+ full frame afterwards, but this is slow.
+ <p>
+
+ <li> Well, that's it. Use <i>avimerge</i> to glue the
+ matching clips together and burn the resulting file
+ to CD.
+</ul>

+ <td>
+ The pass-through mode is able to wrap raw Digital Video
+ streams into AVI-files with the following command. Note, that
+ the interleaved raw audio data can be transcoded to a separate
+ audio track with the codec of your choice. However, this
+ does not save space since Digital Video has identical frame
+ size independent of the presence of audio.
