VC-1 to Uncompressed MoV

[Jajos]

Hi there,

is there anyway to uncompress demuxed VC-1 streams from Blu-ray to a MOV file?

Best regards.

Moving you to our conversion section.

Nope, I don't know any easy method to convert to uncompressed mov.

[Jajos]

ok, but is there a way to uncompress it to avi then?

What do you mean by uncompressed? Do you mean without any additional compression or recompression? (VC-1 is already highly compressed.) Or do you literally mean as uncompressed RGB or YUV video? Uncompressed will give you very large files -- about 540 GB/hr for 1920x1080, 24 fps, uncompressed RGB.

you can do it with ffmpeg


eg. for animation codec (RGB lossless)
ffmpeg -i input.vc1 -vcodec qtrle output.mov

eg. for v210 (uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 Y'CbCr)
ffmpeg -i input.vc1 -vcodec v210 output.mov

eg. for raw 4:2:0 Y'CbCr
ffmpeg -i input.vc1 -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mov

I have meant uncompressed YUV, I am aware of size it will became
Just looking for a way to do this, it's for editing purposes

Thank you for your replies

Is there any way to uncompress it with ffmpeg in the way it will be compatible with Apple quicktime and FCP?

Best regards!

[poisondeathray]

animation and v210 should be compatible; are you saying it didn't work?

They even open on QT for windows (more picky than FCP), and animation codec is often used for crossplatform transfers.

[Jajos]

So animation codec shows "Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0"
and with V210, it seems I don't have it

Where I can get V210 codec for ffmpeg?

Best regards.

[Jajos]

I have sorted it out

FFMPEG mac versison doesn't have v210 codec, but PC version does

Thank you for your help it works like a charm!

Best regards.
