$ ffmpeg -i t1.avi -vcodec libschroedinger t1.drc
It can be done the long way, by converting to YUV first:
$ lav2yuv +n DSC_0023.AVI > tmp.yuv $ ffmpeg -i tmp.yuv -vcodec libschroedinger t1.drc
From a 55.2 MB AVI/MJPEG file with audio and 720x480 video, a 729.9 MB YUV420 file is produced.
Encoding to Dirac directly from AVI, results in a 562.4 KB file.
Encoding to MKV from AVI produces a 563.9 KB file.
Compare that to 6.8 MB H.264 file produced form YUV420.
$ ffmpeg -i tmp.yuv -vcodec libx264 t1.mp4Note: FFMPEG crashes when converting directly from AVI to H.264.
Summary for File 1:
Codec | MJPEG | YUV | Dirac (.DRC) | Dirac (.MKV) | H.264 |
File size (MB) | 55.2 | 729.9 | 0.562 | 0.563 | 6.8 |
Compression ratio (x) | 13.22 | 1 | 1297.8 | 1294.4 | 107.3 |
But that's not the whole story. The quality of the Dirac video is so bad...because I used libschroedinger.
Here's the results for File 2, using libdirac switch:
Codec | MJPEG | YUV | Dirac (.DRC) | H.264(.MP4) |
File size (MB) | 47.0 | 1891.1 | 3.4 | 8.1 |
Compression ratio (x) | 40.2 | 1 | 556.2 | 233.5 |
Suddenly, Dirac doesn't look so bad.
