It's been ages since I watched this film but I remember it looking pretty sickly, which I thought might have been an intentional choice (this was before I knew a damn thing about colour grading). But I just threw the old Image LaserDisc against the Blu-ray and uh...

I did some fairly extensive comparisons a while back (that I don't think I necessarily posted anywhere in any kind of organised thread or anything like that) between several different mathematically lossless video encoders, when I was first trying to decide on the best one to use for archiving all my LaserDisc captures. At that time, I was comparing HuffYUV, Lagarith (a derivative of HuffYUV), UtVideo, and MagicYUV. At the risk of oversimplifying to the point of seeming dismissive, my results basically indicated that although UtVideo and MagicYUV were both excellent overall (both offering much better flexibility than Lagarith does), and both seemed to be faster (with MagicYUV being *incredibly* quick), Lagarith ultimately offered the most efficient compression. Since that was my primary concern (I didn't really need the extra flexibility or speed for 8-bit 4:2:2 YUV LD captures anyway) I settled on using Lagarith.

However, since then, I've been hearing good things about ffmpeg's FFV1 codec, which apparently is used extensively for archival by national libraries and the like. I've also been increasingly concerned with whether I should switch to 10-bit captures for at least some of my LaserDiscs (the ones where I am particularly bothered about preserving the video in the highest possible archival quality, which isn't necessarily all of them). 10-bit captures are orders of magnitude larger than the 8-bit ones, but I wondered if the supposedly extremely efficient compression of FFV1 might help to narrow that gap and make it viable to keep hundreds of 10-bit LD caps archived. So I figured I'd give it a bash.

Since I was aiming for the best possible compression, I opted to use its 2-pass mode... and immediately ran into a problem. When compressing a 10-bit video, the first pass (or a single-pass encode) worked fine, but as soon as it ran the second pass, I got something like this:

When source video has more than 8 bits per component and ffv1 codec is used in 2 pass mode, resulting file is corrupted.

Glad to be here.
