#MATROSKA CODEC ARCHIVE#

We are a small archive with a limited budget and a small amount of staff, so hereвЂ™s why FFV1 makes sense for us:ДЇig.1 Little endian binary output of 16-bit TIFF. The IFI Irish Film Archive are not digitising tape or film at a high volume yet, but from October 2016, this will change. Why losslessly compress DPX and TIFF scans? ArenвЂ™t image sequences safer than a single file?ДЎ.Preservation versus Mezzanine (FFV1 editing/grading support).The status of resolving current limitations.Benefits of losslessly compressed DPX and TIFF scans with FFV1 and Matroska.One quick disclaimer: FFV1 is becoming increasingly associated with the Matroska/MKV container, but there is nothing stopping you from using containers like MOV and AVI with FFV1. Many thanks to Ashley Blewer, Peter Bubestinger, Columb Gilna, Reto Kromer, Dave Rice and Erwin Verbruggen for their feedback/advice/corrections. This post gives an overview of FFV1 and Matroska as a format for the long term preservation of film scans. The topic has gained momentum as Michael Niedermayer (sponsored by reto.ch) added 16-bit RGB support for FFV1. I recently presented some preliminary findings with Reto Kromer at the вЂ No Time To Wait вЂ Symposium in Berlin. I plan on documenting my tests regarding the transcoding of RGB DPX and TIFF scans to FFV1 in a Matroska container. Currently, most archives who adopted the video codec FFV1 use it as a preservation format for tape digitisation.
