After you have +moved your camcorder media onto a computer disk, you can with some extra effort, transfer them for safekeeping and +longer term storage on simple viewable Blu-ray video discs. + +Transferring camcorder media to digital files on a computer, and next to optical Blu-ray video media is especially +important for legacy tape-based camcorders, because tape will degrade over time. You can do this using a combination of +free tools on Linux, generic and independent of any NLE. + +In this case we use and keep interlaced video as on the source or digitized video (PAL 50i, 25 fps) for both DV and HDV +formats. As confirmed by the ffmpeg output below, DV uses 25 Mbps data rate (DV25), is Standard Definition (SD), +resolution 720{\texttimes}576, 8 bits color depth 4:2:0, display aspect ratio (DAR) 4:3 while HDV is High Definition HD video, +resolution 1440{\texttimes}1080, DAR 16:9, 8 bits color depth 4:2:0. + +We utilize or keep relative low MPEG-2 video compression at the same bit-rate 25 Mbps as the original video recorded +onto the source tapes. That is about 13 GB per hour video and audio in total, and about 3 hours playtime with 40 GB +BD-video size (of max 46.5 GB) on each 50 GB BD-R DL Blu-ray disc. Audio is transcoded to uncompressed LPCM compatible +with BD-video. + +In this how-to we combine \textbf{ffmpeg}, \textbf{tsMuxeR} and \textbf{xorriso} to create the MTS-video stream, to +create the Blu-ray ISO image, and to burn the image to Blu-ray video disc. The benefit of using tsMuxer here, is its +support of UDF version 2.50 as required by the Blu-ray video standard. Listed next are the possible camcorder video formats on Blu-ray video discs. + +\begin{itemize} +\item \textbf{DV} (1995) transfer to SD-blu-ray video (re-encoding video to mpeg2, re-encoding DV LPCM audio to Blu-ray LPCM) +\item \textbf{HDV} (2004) transfer to blu-ray video (copying mpeg2 video, re-encoding MP2 audio to Blu-ray LPCM or AC3) +\item \textbf{AVCHD} (2006-current) transfer to Blu-ray video (copying H.264 video and AC3 audio) +\end{itemize} + +An alternative method as described in the CinGG manual, is to use \textit{mkudffs} and \textit{bdwrite} packaged with CinGG, to create the udfs image and burn it to Blu-ray disc using \textit{growisofs} or \textit{dd}. \\ +{\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG\_Manual/Creating\_Blu\_ray\_Without\_Re.html}} + +There are other methods described on the internet and there are alternatives to the software programs used here that work as well. + +\chapter{Video recording formats}% +\label{cha:recording} + +A description of the most common video recording formats for consumer and prosumer equipment; camcorders, analog video +cassette recorders (VCR decks), digital video hard disc recorders, and optical disc recorders (DVD, Blu-ray). + +\section{\textbf{Analog video} (legacy) onto magnetic tape cassettes}% +\label{sec:analog} +\settocdepth{subsection} + +\subsection{\textbf{VHS (1976), VHS-C (1982), and Video8 (1984)}}% +\label{sub:vhs1976} + +% +% WARNING - the next line will change it for every list for rest of document +% +\setlist{noitemsep} +\begin{itemize} +\item Composite Audio/Video is encoded on one channel with maximum horizontal resolution 240 (250) dots (or visually +resolvable vertical picture lines) for VHS/VHS-C and 280 dots for Video8 (2.7MHz video bandwidth). +\item In comparision, horizontal resolution bandwidth for PAL broadcast: 5.0-5.5 MHz, NTSC: 4.2 MHz. +\item It is the horizontal resolution that makes the big difference in picture quality since all video formats have the +same number of vertical resolution (or visible horizontal scan lines); always 576 for PAL/SECAM and 486 for NTSC. +\item RCA (phono) connectors: yellow for composite video, red and white for left and right audio signals. +\item 21-pin SCART Euro connector with optional RCA adapter. +\item Magnetic tape media in full size VHS (1/2") cassettes, VHS-C (1/4") compact and 8\ mm cassettes. +\item Cassette adapters to playback compact VHS-C cassettes on full size VHS decks/players. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{SVHS (Super VHS, 1987), SVHS-C (-Compact, 1987) and Hi8 (1989)}% +\label{sub:svhs1987} + +\begin{itemize} +\item S-Video (separate video, Y/C) encodes video \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma\_(video)}{luma} +(brightness/contrast/black\&white) and +\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrominance}{chrom}\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrominance}{a} (color) on +two separate channels, achieving higher image quality and amount of picture details over composite video. +\item Max visible horizontal resolution is 400 dots for SVHS/SVHS-C and 440 dots for Hi8 systems on high-end VCR +machines (4.5 MHz decks). In practice consumer/prosumer camcorder recordings quality vary from about 330-350 dots +horizontal resolution (3.5MHz), which is equivalent to analog TV set quality. +\item 4-pin mini-DIN S-video connector for Y/C video, red and white RCA line connectors for left and right audio; +optional SCART Euro adapter with 4-pin video and RCA audio connectors. +\item In comparision, analog Component video (three component YPbPr) has the highest color resolution and is encoded +over three channels with green, blue and red RCA connectors (consumer) or with BNC connectors (prosumer), additional red +and white phono line connectors for audio. +\end{itemize} + +\section{\textbf{Digital video}}% +\label{sec:digital} + +\subsection{\textbf{DV (1995), Digital8 (1999)}}% +\label{sub:dv1995} + +\begin{itemize} +\item DV refers to a family of codecs and tape formats used for storing digital video, especially on MiniDV cassettes, the most popular tape format, or on Digital8 cassettes using a DV codec. +\item DV codecs are still sometimes used when dealing with legacy standard definition SD video: + \newline\hspace*{.5cm}PAL: 625i50, 720 {\texttimes} 576 frame size, 25 fps, 8 bit 4:2:0 subsampling + \newline\hspace*{.5cm}NTSC: 525i60, 720 {\texttimes} 480 frame size, 30 fps, 8-bit 4:1:1 subsampling +\item The same frame size is used for 4:3 and 16:9 frame aspect ratios, resulting in different pixel aspect ratios for +fullscreen and anamorphic widescreen video. +\item DV uses lossy, DCT algorithm intraframe video compression 5:1 on a frame-by-frame basis. +\item Audio almost exclusively is stored as 16-bit LPCM at 48 kHz sampling rate, 1.5 Mbit/s stereo. +\item Data rate is about 25 Mbit/s for video, thus DV25, and an additional 1.5 Mbit/s for PCM audio. +\item Total stream is 29 Mbps, or 3.6 MiB/s. The information output is approximately 200 MiB per minute, 12 GiB or 13 GB +per hour playtime. +\item DV camcorders and decks have IEEE 1394 (FireWire, i.LINK) ports for digital video transfer. +\item \textbf{DV50} (Digital-S or D-9 and DVCPRO50) is a 50 Mbit/s variant of DV with improved 4:2:2 chroma subsampling and 3.3:1 compression. This in effect cuts total record time of any given storage medium in half compared to DV25. +\item DV was strongly associated with the transition from analog to digital desktop video production. +\item Digital8 equipment recorded in DV format only, but usually could playback Video8 and Hi8 tapes as well, and were +also capable to do analog to digital video conversion during playback. +\item Most (but not all) modern digital camcorders provided an analog-to-digital +"passthrough" capability. This feature fed an analog input signal (usually via S-Video, +sometimes RCA) into the camcorder and output a standard DV signal. The camcorder converts the analog signal on-the-fly +using a hardware encoder. The input device could be your old analog camcorder (playing 8\ mm or Hi8 tapes), a VHS/VHS-C +video player, to convert analog to digital output via Firewire \textbf{dv} file extension. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{\textbf{DVD-Video} (1996)}% +\label{sub:DVD-Video} + +DVD-Video discs are intended for full-length movies and offer a range of features including the following: +\begin{itemize} +\item Playing time: a nominal 133 minutes playing time for DVD-5 or each side of a DVD-10 and 240 minutes for DVD-9 using opposite track path format. In practice playing times are often reduced in favour of improved quality. +\item Video encoding: MPEG-2 (\href{mailto:MP@ML}{MP@ML}) or MPEG-1. +\item Audio Quality and Languages: Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2 or Linear PCM audio for up to 5.1 channel surround sound. +\end{itemize} + +\begin{itemize} +\item To record digital video, DVD-Video uses \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.262/MPEG-2\_Part\_2}{H.262/MPEG-2 Part +2} compression at up to 9.8~Mbit/s, maximum of 10.08 Mbit/s can be split amongst audio and video. DVD-Video supports +video with a \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color\_depth}{bit depth} of 8 bits per color, encoded as +\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr}{YCbCr} with 4:2:0 +\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma\_subsampling}{chroma subsampling}. The H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 format supports +both interlaced and progressive scan content. +\item As for lines of horizontal resolution, DVD has about 500. In analog output signal terms, typical luma frequency +response maintains 53/145 full amplitude to between 5.0 - 5.5 MHz. This is below the 6.75 MHz native frequency of the +MPEG-2 digital signal. Chroma frequency response is one-half that of luma. +\end{itemize} + +The following formats are allowed for H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2 video: +\begin{itemize} +\item At a display rate of 25 frames per second, interlaced or progressive scan (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz +image scanning frequency, compatible with analog 625-line PAL/SECAM): + \begin{adjustwidth}{.5cm}{0cm} + 720 {\texttimes} 576 pixels (D-1 resolution, 4:3 fullscreen or 16:9 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio) + \end{adjustwidth} +\item At a display rate of 29.97 frames per second, interlaced or progressive scan (commonly used in regions with 60 Hz +image scanning frequency, compatible with analog 525-line NTSC): + \begin{adjustwidth}{.5cm}{0cm} + 720 {\texttimes} 480 pixels (D-1 resolution, 4:3 or 16:9) + \end{adjustwidth} +\end{itemize} + +The official allowed formats for the audio tracks on a DVD-Video are: + \begin{itemize} + \item PCM: 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rate, 16 bit or 24 bit Linear PCM, 2 to 6 channels, up to 6,144 kbit/s; N. B. +16-bit 48 kHz 8 channel PCM is allowed by the DVD-Video specification but is not well supported by authoring +applications or players. + \item AC-3: 48 kHz sampling rate, 1 to 5.1 (6) channels, up to 448 kbit/s. + \item MP2: 48 kHz sampling rate, 1 to 7.1 channels, up to 912 kbit/s. + \item DTS: 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rate; channel layouts = 2.0, 2.1, 5.0, 5.1, 6.1; bitrates for 2.0 and 2.1 = +377.25 and 503.25 kbit/s, bitrates for 5.x and 6.1 = 754.5 and 1509.75 kbit/s. +\item File system.\\ +\item Almost all DVD-Video discs use the UDF bridge format, which is a combination of the DVD MicroUDF (a subset of UDF +1.02) and ISO 9660 file systems. The UDF bridge format provides backwards compatibility for operating systems that +support only ISO 9660. Most DVD players read the UDF filesystem from a DVD-Video disc and ignore the ISO9660 +filesystem. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{\textbf{HDV (2003)}}% +\label{sub:HDV2003} + +\begin{itemize} +\item HDV was a successor format to DV with an updated video codec, and used the same MiniDV cassette format, optional +specifically for HDV recording on tape with reduced drop-out rate. +\item Some manufacturers offered on (larger) camera hard disk recording units capable of recording HDV both onto tape +and/or onto file-based media via FireWire connection. +\item HDV camcorders can typically switch between HDV/MP2 and SD-DV/PCM recording modes. +\item HDV 1080i with horizontal resolution 1440 is twice the 720 resolution of DV and DVD, and the perceived +sharpness with HDV is much higher when scaled up to full HD (TV) resolution. +\end{itemize} + +\begin{tabular}{ll} +------------------- \\ +{\textbullet}\textbf{HDV 1080i} specification (HD2): & \textbf{HDV 720p} specification (HD1): \\ +{\textbullet} 1080/ 50i (PAL), 1080/ 60i (NTSC) & 720/25p, 720/50p,720/30p, and 720/60p \\ +{\textbullet} 1440 {\texttimes} 1080, anamorphic pixels 4:3=1.33 & 1280 x 720, Pixel aspect ratio 1.0 \\ +{\textbullet} 16:9 Display aspect ratio & 16:9 Display aspect ratio \\ +\hspace*{.5cm} - 720{\texttimes}480/ 60i (SD-DV 4:3 og 16:9) \\ +\hspace*{.5cm} - 720{\texttimes}576/ 50i (SD-DV 4:3 og 16:9) \\ +{\textbullet} MPEG-2 interframe GOP (\href{mailto:MP@H-14}{MP@H-14}) & MPEG-2 (\href{mailto:MP@H-14/HL}{MP@H-14/HL}) \\ +{\textbullet} 8 bit color depth 4:2:0 subsampling & 8 bit color depth 4:2:0 subsampling \\ +{\textbullet} 25 Mbps data rate after compression (20:1) & 19.4 Mbps data rate after compression \\ +{\textbullet} MP2/MPEG-1 Audio Layer II & MP2/MPEG-1 Audio Layer II \\ +{\textbullet} Stereo (2-ch), 384 kbps & Stereo (2-ch), 384 kbps \\ +{\textbullet} A/V out: HDMI, Component, S-video/RCA\ & A/V out: HDMI, Component, S-video/RCA \\ +{\textbullet} IEEE 1394 (MPEG-2-TS) stream interface & IEEE 1394 (MPEG-2-TS) stream interface \\ +{\textbullet} M2T file extension & M2T file extension +\end{tabular} + +\subsection{\textbf{AVCHD (2006-current)}}% +\label{sub:AVCHD} + +\begin{itemize} +\item AVCHD stands for \textit{Advanced Video Coding High Definition}, in particular, \textit{MPEG-4 Part 10: +AVC/H.264}. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at +substantially lower bit rates than previous standards (i.e., half or less the bit rate of MPEG-2, H.263, or MPEG-4 Part +2). \\ +\item AVCHD is a file based format for digital camcorders to record and playback 1080i and 720p HD-video onto certain +random access media. Memory cards, thumb drives, and HDDs use the FAT file system. This highly compressed video allows for +recording long videos in high definition.\\ +\item AVCHD was originally a simplified version of the Blu-ray standard to enable DVD and BD-based camcorders. +Recordable optical discs use UDF or ISO9660 derived from the Blu-ray disc specification. For example, it utilizes a +legacy 8.3 file naming system while Blu-ray disc uses long filenames. \\ +\item MTS file extension changes to M2TS when MTS recorded data is transferred to the computer for storing the video in +a Blu-ray disc. \\ +\item Playback is possible on an AVCHD-compatible Blu-ray Disc player/recorder, DVD player/recorder, or PlayStation 3, +the 8 cm DVDs (discs recorded in AVCHD) you have recorded or DVDs (discs recorded in AVCHD) and Blu-ray Discs created +by importing videos to a PC or Blu-ray Disc player. \\ +\item Today AVCHD is the most popular camcorder format for consumers and prosumers, and is also available as AVCHD +Progressive/PCM models for professional use.\\ +\item AVCHD supports both \textit{AVCHD-SD Standard Definition} and \textit{AVCHD 1080i High Definition} interlaced +video, while AVCHD 1080i is available with most AVCHD camcorders. AVCHD supports 720-line progressive recording mode at +frame rates of 24 and 60 frames/s for 60 Hz models and 50 frames/s for 50 Hz models.\\ +\item Also, 3D (MVC format) and 1080/60p(1080/50p) video formats were added as an extension to the AVCHD format to +create the \textit{AVCHD Ver. 2.0, 2011} (AVCHD 3D, AVCHD Progressive) format.

Use a video head cleaning tape before use. Wind and rewind the tape +cassette before playback in Edit mode "ON" to minimize picture deterioration. \\ +\item A second recommended device for all capture methods is a Time Base Corrector (TBC). Connected to the analog output of +a VCR, a good TBC can make wonder and remove most or all of the flagging, shaky pictures, wavy lines, and other time +base problems from a videotape, to get a clearer and more steady picture. The best is a standalone, fullframe +high-resolution TBC of broadcast quality; minimum is a line-based TBC built in high-end VCR decks. \\ +\item A third, optional feature before digitizing is a noise filter to reduce/soften noise and grain (snow) from bad VHS tape +recordings, or also when video that is over-processed using sharpness controls and enhancers. Noise filter adjustment +may be part of the TBC setup and preview, or fixed built in the playback VCR. Optional a standalone Video +corrector/processor if available can be used, where also optional brightness, contrast and color saturation/correction +can be adjusted. +\end{itemize} + +\section{Example articles and references}% +\label{sec:example} + +\begin{itemize} +\item Digitizing Analog Video through a Digital Camcorder (Michael Steil, 2022) \\ +{\small \url{https://www.pagetable.com/?p=1697}} \\ +\item How to Get the Best Images Digitizing SD Video (TBC/ProRes, Larry Jordan, 2021) \\ +{\small \url{https://larryjordan.com/articles/how-to-get-the-best-images-digitizing-sd-video/}} \\ +\item Digitize analog cassettes (VHS or 8\ mm) with Linux (USB/H.264, Corinne HENIN, 2021) \\ +{\small \url{https://www.arsouyes.org/en/blog/2021/2021-05-17\_Numerisation\_VHS}} \\ +\item The Digitization of VHS Videotapes -- Technical Bulletin 31 -- Canada.ca (Joe Iraci, 2020) \\ +{\small \url{https://www.canada.ca/en/conservation-institute/services/conservation-preservation-publications/technical-bulletins/digitization-vhs-video-tapes.html}} \\ +\item Hi8 to DVD Workflow in Linux (Eric Olson, Renomath (2012) \\ +{\small \url{https://renomath.org/video/linux/hi8/}} \\ +\item Transfer VHS/DVD Media or Video8/Hi8 Tapes into CINELERRA-GG (chpt. 13.4 manual) \\ +{\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG\_Manual/Transfer\_VHS\_DVD\_Media\_or\_V.html}} +\end{itemize} + +\chapter{\textbf{DV files converted to Blu-ray compliant MPEG-2/LPCM and authored to SD BD-Video}}% +\label{cha:dv_files} + +\textbf{Step 1} + +\begin{itemize} +\item Prepare a 40 GB continuously DV input file by joining and concatenating the actual dv clips in order.
