Hello Christoph and Peter, Thank you both for your quick responses. Apologies for replying so late, did not have internet access till today.
So what I have done so far is encode the DPX files using FFV1 wrapped with avi using the following cmd: *ffmpeg -i C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\DPX\%%01d.dpx -vcodec ffv1 -level 3 -coder 1 -pix_fmt gbrp10le -an C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\FFv1_avi\RGBTest_AVI.avi* I then decode the .avi back to DPX using: *ffmpeg -i C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\FFv1_avi\RGBTest_AVI.avi -pix_fmt gbrp10le -vcodec dpx C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\ffv1_restored_DPX\%%01d_AVI_restored.dpx* *The original DPX details(Using GraphicsMagick Identify command):* C:\Program Files (x86)\GraphicsMagick-1.3.23-Q16>gm identify -verbose C:\Users\A bhi\Desktop\DPX\1.dpx Image: C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\DPX\1.dpx Format: DPX (SMPTE 268M-2003 (DPX 2.0)) Geometry: 2048x1556 Class: DirectClass Type: true color Depth: 16 bits-per-pixel component Channel Depths: Red: 16 bits Green: 16 bits Blue: 16 bits Channel Statistics: Red: Minimum: 1281.00 (0.0195) Maximum: 40423.00 (0.6168) Mean: 6219.86 (0.0949) Standard Deviation: 9262.09 (0.1413) Green: Minimum: 320.00 (0.0049) Maximum: 39910.00 (0.6090) Mean: 5420.29 (0.0827) Standard Deviation: 9250.51 (0.1412) Blue: Minimum: 0.00 (0.0000) Maximum: 39398.00 (0.6012) Mean: 5038.24 (0.0769) Standard Deviation: 9230.74 (0.1409) Filesize: 12.2Mi Interlace: No Orientation: TopLeft Background Color: white Border Color: #DFDFDFDFDFDF Matte Color: #BDBDBDBDBDBD Page geometry: 2048x1556+0+0 Compose: Over Dispose: Undefined Iterations: 0 Compression: Undefined Document: RL01_0000001.dpx DPX:file.version: V2.0 DPX:file.filename: RL01_0000001.dpx DPX:file.creation.datetime: 2015:09:25:14:01:13:IST DPX:image.orientation: 0 DPX:source.filename: /mnt/dothill_01/YEAR_2015/FOR_GRADE/09_SEP/** 2K_24FPS/250915/S1/REEL01/RL01_0000001.dpx DPX:source.creation.datetime: 2015:09:25:14:01:13:IST DPX:source.device.name: Scanity V2.7.1 DPX:source.device.serialnumber: 133 DPX:source.aspect.ratio.horizontal: 2048 DPX:source.aspect.ratio.vertical: 2048 DPX:mp.frame.position: 1 DPX:mp.frame.rate: 24 DPX:tv.time.code: 00:00:00:01 DPX:tv.video.signal: 0 DPX:user.data.id: Digital Film Technology Signature: 09342f3c2835c1f23379d150dd61b8e8214743ff41d4c256b0d42f9412de8276 Profile-DPXUSERDATA: 512 bytes Tainted: False User Time: 0.031u Elapsed Time: 0:01 Pixels Per Second: 98.0Mi *Restored DPX File Detials:* C:\Program Files (x86)\GraphicsMagick-1.3.23-Q16>gm identify -verbose C:\Users\A bhi\Desktop\ffv1_restored_DPX\1_AVI_restored.dpx Image: C:\Users\Abhi\Desktop\ffv1_restored_DPX\1_AVI_restored.dpx Format: DPX (SMPTE 268M-2003 (DPX 2.0)) Geometry: 2048x1556 Class: DirectClass Type: true color Depth: 16 bits-per-pixel component Channel Depths: Red: 16 bits Green: 16 bits Blue: 16 bits Channel Statistics: Red: Minimum: 1281.00 (0.0195) Maximum: 40423.00 (0.6168) Mean: 6219.86 (0.0949) Standard Deviation: 9262.09 (0.1413) Green: Minimum: 320.00 (0.0049) Maximum: 39910.00 (0.6090) Mean: 5420.29 (0.0827) Standard Deviation: 9250.51 (0.1412) Blue: Minimum: 0.00 (0.0000) Maximum: 39398.00 (0.6012) Mean: 5038.24 (0.0769) Standard Deviation: 9230.74 (0.1409) Filesize: 12.2Mi Interlace: No Orientation: TopLeft Background Color: white Border Color: #DFDFDFDFDFDF Matte Color: #BDBDBDBDBDBD Page geometry: 2048x1556+0+0 Compose: Over Dispose: Undefined Iterations: 0 Compression: Undefined Software: Lavc57.16.100 DPX:file.version: V1.0 DPX:file.creator: Lavc57.16.100 DPX:image.orientation: 0 DPX:source.x-offset: 0 DPX:source.y-offset: 0 DPX:source.x-center: 0 DPX:source.y-center: 0 DPX:source.x-original-size: 0 DPX:source.y-original-size: 0 DPX:source.border.validity.left: 0 DPX:source.border.validity.right: 0 DPX:source.border.validity.top: 0 DPX:source.border.validity.bottom: 0 DPX:source.aspect.ratio.horizontal: 1 DPX:source.aspect.ratio.vertical: 1 DPX:source.scanned.size.x: 0 DPX:source.scanned.size.y: 0 Signature: 09342f3c2835c1f23379d150dd61b8e8214743ff41d4c256b0d42f9412de8276 Tainted: False As far as color space goes, the original DPX is supposed to be a 10 bit RGB but it shows above as 16 bits. If I open the file using Xnview it shows as 10 bit RGB but from the above it shows 16 bit. Any idea why would this be the case?. Is this the correct way of compressing DPX files and restoring it?. I did a PSNR test on the original and restored file and it shows no error. Is this alone enough to prove that it is indeed a mathematically lossless compression?. I hope this gives you enough information to be able to understand what I am trying to do. Thanks again for your help guys and I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
