Files not passing vrecord policy check for FFV1 video #817

Closed DSohl closed 1 week ago

DSohl commented 1 month ago

Heya - since yesterday morning, every video capture I do gives me this message:

Checking file conformance against FFV1 video policy...
 2024-07-30T12:51:32 - File did not pass vrecord policy check for FFV1 video and may not conform to digital preservation standards. Try another file?

What're reasons that could cause these files to (may) not conform to digital preservation standards? Maybe related, maybe unrelated, I ran brew update + upgrade before this started happening.

Hey @DSohl we had a change to the aspect ratio handling recently in vrecord. So now the video can be one of many slightly differing variants of 4/3 and 16/9. As a result I ultimately just removed the aspect ratio check from the mediaconch policy, but there was a lag between the feature being added and the check being removed, so your version of vrecord might be in the middle. Can you update the the vrecord released this week and retry?

Or could you paste over /Users/medialab/Desktop/JPC/20240730/JPC_AV_01755/JPC_AV_01755_mediaconchreport.xml so we could take a look?

Hi, @dericed - Ya, this video file I'm using as an example was captured using vrecord version 2024-07-09 (updated this AM). I guess I can't attach XML in these fields, so here's the mediaconchreport (if you want to look at it in any other format just holler). Thank you!

Hey @DSohl it looks like the matroska didn't finish writing properly. Normally the muxer writes all the audiovisual data and then goes back and adds the crc's and cues and some other data when it's finalizing it, but that last step didn't happen. How did you stop the recording?

DSohl commented 1 month ago

@dericed I've been stoppung the recording by hitting the esc key. Can I add those crc's, cues and the other data after the digitizing process?

DSohl commented 1 month ago

@dericed A new maybe-related-maybe-not thing that I've started seeing this morning: when I start the vrecord GUI in the Mac terminal, I get this message:

(base) /Users/medialab
≈:≈ vrecord

The GUI will open, and the UltraStudio 4K Extreme is listed as a device found. What's this mean?

dericed commented 1 month ago

You can rewrap it with ffmpeg yourfile.mkv -map 0 -c copy nice.mkv and then that result should pass that check. But I'm curious why it isn't finishing up right. Can you send the log? Also you're using the ffmpeg-dl (ffmpeg with decklink build) or something else?

DSohl commented 1 month ago

I truly appreciate your looking into this so quickly. Here's the log (and yeah, it's ffmpeg-dl)

Hi @dericed and @Dsohl, I'm having a very similar issue with vrecord 2024-07-09 (ffmpeg-dl). I'm using a Mac Studio (Apple M1 Max, Sonoma 14.6) with UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3.

Running vrecord results in "no devices found" warning, as well as an error in the output below the video stream description (No such filter: ''), and then the policy check fails after the file is written. It looks to me like the mkv is finishing properly in the Media Conch report. I usually use q to quit or just close the video window.

I put a test file with all the outputs here (unexpectedly getting an empty eia608 text and an scc file too) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cKx5SbVGIz2ab5PnR3tcORNwSJSsNE8t?usp=sharing

Here is the Terminal output:

smpl-video2$ vrecord test

Did I do that wrong? like, am I being too literal by using "nice.mkv"

dericed commented 1 month ago

you can name the output as you want, but you're missing the input flag. try ffmpeg -i /Users/medialab/Desktop/JPC/20240801/Test/test1.mkv -map 0 -c copy nice.mkv

@dericed @michaelangeletti @DSohl I am experiencing the same issues with the latest release of vrecord (2024-07-09). I'm running macOS Monterey 12.4 on a MacMini (M1, 2020) and using a Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini.

Running vrecord -e results in "no devices found" warning. Screen Shot 2024-08-13 at 1 18 44 PM

For all captures (regardless of ending the capture by exiting out of the playback window or setting a duration and letting it exit on its own), I receive an error in the output below the video stream description (No such filter: ''), and then the policy check fails after the file is written. Screen Shot 2024-08-13 at 1 44 24 PM

It looks to me like the MKV is finishing properly in the MediaConch report, but the report looks a little wonky (randomly has "&gt;=" sprinkled throughout).

<policy name="Is the container Matroska or Quicktime?" type="or" level="" rules_run="2" fail_count="2" warn_count="0" info_count="0" pass_count="0" outcome="fail"> <policy name="Is it good Matroska?" type="and" level="" rules_run="3" fail_count="1" warn_count="0" info_count="0" pass_count="2" outcome="fail"> Which is weird because the container is MKV.

<rule name="Is max slice count at least 4?" value="extra/MaxSlicesCount" tracktype="Video" operator="&gt;=" xpath="mi:MediaInfo/mi:track[@type='Video']/mi:extra/mi:MaxSlicesCount&gt;='4'" requested="4" actual="" outcome="fail"/> Which is weird because I always have it set to 16.

When I run the same video through the Media Conch GUI using the example FFV1 MKV policy, it passes everything except the aspect ratio (which is likely due to what @dericed mentioned regarding the new recommended aspect ratio setting). But all of the other test that failed when vrecord ran them passed. Screen Shot 2024-08-13 at 12 00 27 PM

I also noticed that the ffmpeg dependencies are stored in a different place than is mentioned here: Issue #788 (but maybe that's a separate issue/no longer where they are supposed to be).

DSohl commented 3 weeks ago

Checking in: are you still having these issues @michaelangeletti and @libbyhopfauf ?

@dericed - I appreciate the rewrap directions, and it seems to be working. Any inkling where my setup's gone wrong? It'd be splendid if there's anything that I can do to remove that extra step.

Hey @DSohl, I think you just need an update, since that DAR tests were removed before the last release, see https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/commit/5b9fa8b3ddf7e040e353cb1c4f4d4fd1962b07ea

Hi @DSohl ! This morning, I uninstalled BMD Desktop Video, vrecord and Homebrew, and reinstalled everything. I wanted to start fresh. I'm using vrecord 2024-08-23. I'm no longer getting 'no devices found', but files are still not passing the policy check:

@michaelangeletti how are you proceeding? Are you keeping the capture as your archival master copy, or remapping it? Or something else?

michaelangeletti commented 2 weeks ago

@DSohl , for the time being, I'm keeping the files as they are, but I'm working on a limited collection of tapes that will get prepped for accessioning into our repository in the coming weeks. I may decide to re-wrap them in batches before accessioning. The missing crc values are a bummer, but the files still are still making it through the rest of the processes in our workflow without problems. But I am curious to know what it is about our installations that's causing it.

dericed commented 2 weeks ago

Hey @DSohl, can you send /Users/medialab/Desktop/JPC/20240826/JPC_AV_01598/JPC_AV_01598_ffv1_mediaconchreport.xml. Also how are you going about stopping the recording?

michaelangeletti commented 2 weeks ago

Here is mine, @dericed mangelet_vrecord_v2024-08-23_betacamsp_test_pm_mediaconchreport.zip

Like @libbyhopfauf , mine has "&gt;=" sprinkled throughout

DSohl commented 2 weeks ago

@dericed I stop the recording via the esc key.

Like @libbyhopfauf and @michaelangeletti, I've got several instances of "&gt;="

Here's the sidecar files for the test recording I made the A.M. JPC_AV_01598.zip

dericed commented 2 weeks ago

@DSohl and could you also go to the Config tab and copy/paste back what's in the Environment box?

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

dericed commented 2 weeks ago

This all seems right. Closing ffplay (via hitting the red-close-window button or via the ESC key), should send a SIGPIPE command to ffmpeg which will have it finalizing the container. Here's it's ending the write more abruptly, trying to think about why. Does closing ffplay via the red corner button finish differently?

DSohl commented 2 weeks ago

ESC and closing with the corner button yield the same results.

privatezero commented 2 weeks ago

I have a PR that I think might address this: https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord/pull/832 Could people test and see if that works on their end?

EmCNabs commented 2 weeks ago

Same issues here...vrecord session ending with:

Like @DSohl, @libbyhopfauf, & @michaelangeletti I have a couple instances of &gt;= in the XML report. On mine they show up in the responses for rules: "FFV1 is version 3.4 or later?" ; "Is max slice count at least 4?" ; "Matroska version 4 or greater?" mainly after operator =

Here is the XML for the test I ran today TEST3min_BlackMagicFix.zip

I was also getting the "No devices found" line on starting vrecord, but same as @michaelangeletti I uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup. Then after going into System Preferences/Privacy & Security and "allowing" for Desktop Video to work, the "No Devices Found" message no longer appeared.

iamdamosuzuki commented 2 weeks ago

Just tested #832 and it got rid of the FFV1 policy error

Just tested #832 and it got rid of the FFV1 policy error

Testing #832 worked for me as well!

And saw that the source Policy XML includes the &gt;= I am seeing in my reports, so glad to know that is not an error that will cause problems.

dericed commented 2 weeks ago

Yay, IIUC this issue is still open as @DSohl has an instance where the recording process doesn't end correctly.

dericed commented 2 weeks ago

Hey @DSohl can you brew update ; brew upgrade and retry?

DSohl commented 2 weeks ago

@dericed - Hot dog! It's a success! 2024-08-29T09:55:43 - File passed policy check for FFV1 video.

Many thanks to everyone who chimed in. Unless there's anything else going on here, I'll close this as "resolved."
