blind-to-video - Converts blind video to a regular video
blind-to-video [-d] frame-rate ffmpeg-arguments ...
blind-to-video reads a blind video from stdin and uses
ffmpeg(1) to convert it to a normal video format. frame-rate
must be set to the frame-rate of the input video, lest the tempo in the output
video be modified. You can use ffprobe(1) (an ffmpeg utility) on
your original video to find out the frame rate:
ffprobe -v quiet -show_streams -select_streams v -- your-video.mkv |
grep '^r_frame_rate=' | cut -d = -f 2-
This value will be a rational value, which is supported. All
argumnets after frame-rate (that is ffmpeg-arguments ...) are
arguments that will be passed to ffmpeg(1) after the arguments that
blind-to-video will create that specifies the input file and
necessary metadata such as frame rate, geometry, and format, of the input
video. Beginners are recommended to use -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow
-crf 0 -pix_fmt yuv444p -- output-file.
- -d
- Perform coarse colour-model conversion. This will increase the performance
of the conversion, however, it the colours will not look correct, unless
the -d flag was also with blind-from-video(1) and not colours have
been modified between to the processes.
