6. Advanced Tips

6.1 Preserve Quality

  • Use CRF mode (Constant Rate Factor) – 18 (lossless-ish) to 23 (good default).
  • Avoid converting lossy to lossy multiple times.
  1. Download FFmpeg and add to PATH.
  2. Command: 
    ffmpeg -i input.sdv -c copy output.mpg
    Or force remux: 
    ffmpeg -i input.sdv -f mpegts -c copy output.ts
  3. If that fails, try: 
    ffmpeg -i input.sdv -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
    (This re-encodes, which is slow but may bypass corruption).
