Planetary AVIs - what FFMPeg Parameters??

[s3igell]

I shot another round of Planetary Videos of Saturn the other night with my T2i using 5xLiveView, and allowing BYE to launch a Background Instance of FFMPeg to create AVIs of the LiveView Stream.

The results for 1000 Frames:  JPG Folder = 150MB  AVI file = 1992MB

The JPG files are stored at Quality=97, which invokes "nearly Lossless" File Compression.  Individual Files are about 150-155KB.

The AVI uses a DIB Codec which stores entire Frames bit-for-bit with NO File Compression.  Is there a specific reason for choosing the DIB Codec??

BYN/BYN does not use FFMPeg to encode the AVI.  It uses a commercial library called ByteScout.

OK, the concern still stands (even if the applicable software documentation is less readily found):

Is there a reason for selecting a DIB No-Compression/Full-Frame format??

Even a very simple / old Video Codec - HuffYUV - enabled Lossless Compression

So does the H.264 Codec (with CRF Value = 0).

I couldn't find which Codecs are supported by ByteScout, but I did find it interesting that ByteScout's 12/2016 Blog was on uses of FFMPeg Command Line to handle Video File Format Conversion.
