You did not explain your use case but the general issue is that FFmpeg is a 
transcoding utility (with some additional features) but not a file archiving 
tool.

(Note that I regularly have the same discussion with people interested in 
archiving digital multimedia data.)

This was what I was thinking as well.
There is something intriguing about the odd idea of round-tripping in the
sense of non destructive manipulation of data.
At least in keeping the original, the data in transition would have a
target to hit.  I would think this key to restoration of the changed data.
Another option (in this round-tripping scenario) would be to record the
steps taken and then simply (?) reverse/retrace back again.
I'm not sure how practical such a thing is but I'm certainly curious about
the use cases as well.

Command line and complete, uncut console output missing.

In general this is not possible but see above.

[FFmpeg-user] Covert to TS and back

2019-10-20 Thread Julien Dotsev
Why when I convert a video file to mpeg-ts and then convert it back to the
original one there is a file size increase? Is there a way to avoid that? I
want to be able to bring back the original file. Is it possible?
