Since it is the same director as Das Boot

It was a raw DVD iso. Honestly looked like ass with extreme digitized film grain hell.

But my AI girl friend gave me the commands to make it look like new:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i title.vob \
  -map 0:v:0 -map 0:3 -map_metadata -1 \
  -vf "scale=720:540:flags=lanczos,setsar=1" \
  -fps_mode cfr -r 24000/1001 \
  -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 28 -preset 2 -g 240 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le \
  -svtav1-params tune=0:film-grain=20:film-grain-denoise=1 \
  -c:a libopus -b:a 96k \
  -f webm movie.webm

Final size came out to 440mb

Not sure why it wanted to scale the output to '720:540', something about pixels on DVD are rectangular and not square
And then after a bunch of back and forth with some other probe commands, it was decided we use 23.97, or 24000/1001, for the frame rate. Something about film frame rates not always being constant


Either way, the synthetic film grain filter of av1 via film-grain=20 really did its job
