FFAStrans forum

I am building a cross platform automatic ingest system based on Python (so it should be more or less platform independent). Because I wanted to "outsource" the watchfolder/monitor mechanism and transcoding to another program I chose FFAStrans, because I think it's very handy to add it to ...

That looks interesting, will have a look, thanks!

Hi all, I've noticed that regardless of how many simultaneous threads are running and whatever settings I choose, FFAStrans/ffmpeg always seems to read from the disk with approx 190KB block size (see the attached screenshot, it's the red line). I was wondering if there's any way for it to read 512KB...

Thanks emcodem! I've had a look at a few of those tutorials - that command seems to get half way there but Avid is notoriously picky for which formats it accepts. When I try to use a file made with that command, I get an error from Avid saying it Did not find the first temporal sample. I've have a p...

My goal is to have an editing codec that is under 10Mbit/s. Like the H264 2Mbit/s proxies that can be created in Avid, but a bit better quality. I'm planning to send these files over the internet so ideally they'll be smaller than DNxHD36. That's my goal, if that makes sense...

Just pulling this up again - wondered if anyone else had any joy with getting (i-frame only) H264 into Avid ready MXFs? I can see how to get H264 wrapped into an MXF just using the command line tools, but then I'm not sure how to get the metadata embedded (tape etc), but ideally would love there to ...

I'm aware it uses those tools - I just like what FFAStrans has done with them :D I'm going to look further into creating something manually then perhaps. I-frame only H264 in MXF would be fine. I tried using FFMpeg but for some reason the resulting MXF appeared as a separate clip for video and audio...

Hey again, I love that FFAStrans can do MXF with DNxHD, AVC and a few others - wonder if it would be possible to make MXFs for DNxHR, J2K and H264 also? I was wondering this to be able to make even smaller proxy files. Perhaps with some custom FFmpeg/AviSynth? Or is it fairly complicated because of ...

Resurrecting this - I'd be interested in this as well - If we used custom FFmpeg/AviSynth scripts to integrate a LUT, would it be possible to still wrap the resulting video into an Avid ready MXF? I'm wondering if there's a way to manually recreate the BMX work that the DNxHD module does but in othe...

Amazing - yes that worked! Thanks Although, it seems it doesn't even take the clip name into account when you use Source Path and Tape Name to relink - it just chose any video from that folder. But, the FFAStrans / BMX part of if worked perfectly :) Strangely, when I have Avid set to use "Sourc...
