  1. I'm trying to see if there is a way to determine if a movie file was ripped from a DVD/Blu-ray. Currently the only way I can check is looking at the ffprobe output and checking the tags property:

    "_STATISTICS_WRITING_APP-eng: MakeMKV v1.14.5 win(x64-release)"

    This tells me it was created by the MakeMKV application. If I have the video properties is there a way to check that it's a straight copy of a DVD/Blu-ray?

    Example:
    1. Bitrate: (7,209 kb/s)
    2. Resolution: (480p)
    3. Bit Depth: (8)
    4. Frame Rate: (23.976)
    5. Color Space: (YUV)
    6. Chroma Sampling: (4:2:0)
    7. File Size: (4.35GiB)

  2. Where's the video and audio codecs? In your example, it has to be MPEG-2 if from a DVD. Except for the 23.976fps (all NTSC DVDs output 29.97fps), the rest are consistent with it being a DVD rip. How about a MediaInfo text printout?

  3. I have a thought. Using the data I have above could I calculate the bitrate without using file size and see if that value is close to the value provided by mediainfo? I have a bunch of files(movies/shows) and I want a quick way to determine if they've been re-encoded after ripping.

    I extracted the video stream out of the movie just for an example.

  4. No, imo.
    You could do a straight disc rip, or take the output of a disc mastering program like scenarist and they'd be identical.

  5. In your example, I believe it's straight from the DVD with no reencoding, if that's what you wanted to know. Progressive 23.976fps with 2:3 pulldown to output 29.97fps.

    MediaInfo is better than whatever it was you showed at the beginning.
