Installed [[ffmpeg-ffprobe|ffmpeg]] and [ffprobe](https://ffmpeg.org/ffprobe.html)
[mediainfo](https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) returns the following:
- General
- Complete name: `D:\Videos\999-personal\transpersonal-stories\SONY INTERVIEWS\C2450.MP4`
- Format: XAVC
- Codec ID: XAVC (XAVC/mp42/iso2)
- File size: 8.13 GiB
- Duration: 11 min 11 s
- Overall bit rate mode: Variable
- Overall bit rate: 104 Mb/s
- Frame rate: 23.976 FPS
- Encoded date: 2023-09-20 22:51:54 UTC
- Tagged date: 2023-09-20 22:51:54 UTC
XAVC is a Sony codec. better transcode it to... Resnick says... [Prores](https://ottverse.com/ffmpeg-convert-to-apple-prores-422-4444-hq/). using: 4:2:2 10bit and Matroska (mkv) container.
`ffmpeg -i .\C2450.MP4 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -vendor ap10 -bits_per_mb 8000 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le proRes-video-1.mkv`
hm, video worked but not audio. media info says:
- Audio (all 4 are the same)
- ID: 2
- Format: PCM
- Format settings: Big / Signed
- Codec ID: ipcm
- Duration: 1 min 53 s
- Bit rate mode : Constant
- Bit rate: 1 152 kb/s
- Channel(s): 1 channel
- Sampling rate: 48.0 kHz
- Bit depth: 24 bits
i think `ffmpeg -formats` says we want s24be PCM signed 24-bit big-endian
```
alaw PCM A-law
f32be PCM 32-bit floating-point big-endian
f32le PCM 32-bit floating-point little-endian
f64be PCM 64-bit floating-point big-endian
f64le PCM 64-bit floating-point little-endian
mulaw PCM mu-law
s16be PCM signed 16-bit big-endian
s16le PCM signed 16-bit little-endian
s24be PCM signed 24-bit big-endian
s24le PCM signed 24-bit little-endian
s32be PCM signed 32-bit big-endian
s32le PCM signed 32-bit little-endian
s8 PCM signed 8-bit
u16be PCM unsigned 16-bit big-endian
u16le PCM unsigned 16-bit little-endian
u24be PCM unsigned 24-bit big-endian
u24le PCM unsigned 24-bit little-endian
u32be PCM unsigned 32-bit big-endian
u32le PCM unsigned 32-bit little-endian
u8 PCM unsigned 8-bit
```
this worked:
`ffmpeg -i .\C2451.MP4 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -vendor ap10 -bits_per_mb 8000 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -acodec pcm_s24be proRes-video-2.mkv`

Dylan said:
_"Hey friends I am uploading all of the raw footage. I really am liking what we captured. I should also say that all of the Sony footage has 4 tracks of audio, tracks 1 and 2 are the lav mic track 3 is the shotgun mic track 4 is blank. talk soon!"_

Second meeting at free play arcade (Fort Worth)
#TAGS: #log #dylan #grant #meeting
I went with Dylan to Aledo on a shoot, and we met up with Grant in the near southside at what used to be Live Oak and is now a barcade. we played some DDR and a few games, and then recorded video on the roof of us telling some stories.
### 2023-09-19
Initial meeting at Grapevine mills
#TAGS: #log #dylan #grant #meeting
**Notes:**
we met and discussed some ideas for a project, landing on initially recording some personal experiences, then each treating one or more of the stories with re-enactment, animation, montage to produce something together.
suggestions:
might be cool to do real-time/touchdesigner
might be shown at a fall festival run by [AHK](https://shirtalog.com/)
