Commands

--input, -i INPUT_PATH full path to input folder
--output, -o OUTPUT_PATH full path to output folder. If left blank, this will default to the same folder as the input.
--framerate override the default framerate with a custom framerate
--subfolder_identifier specifies the name of the folder within each item folder that contains DPX files
--limit only process items in folders that contain the provided string in their filename
--filter_list provide a text file with a list of folder names for each item that you want to process
--check_runtime compare the runtime of the FFV1/MKV file against the runtime of a corresponding access file

Installation

Usage

• The input must be a folder containing subfolders for each item (film/reel). The folder for each item must contain a preservation folder with the folder name 'p' that contains a DPX sequence. The preservation folder name can be changed using --subfolder_identifier followed by the name of the folder that contains DPX sequences.
  
• The command can be set to run on folders for specific films using the --limit or --filter_list commands. --limit should be followed by a string of text. Only folders containing that string will be processed. --filter_list should be followed by the path to a text file containing a list of folder names that you want to process.
  

Basic usage:

dpx2ffv1.py -i input_folder -o output_folder

Transcode and compare FFV1/MKV runtime against access file runtime

dpx2ffv1.py -i input_folder -o output_folder --check_runtime
