# RAWcooked Case Study

## BFI National Archive
### Joanna White, Knowledge & Collections Developer

At the [BFI National Archive](https://www.bfi.org.uk/bfi-national-archive) we have been encoding DPX sequences to FFV1 Matroska since late 2019. In that time our RAWcooked workflow has evolved with DPX resolutions and flavours and changes in project priorities - Ev. Today we have a fairly hands-off automated workflow which handles 2K, 4K, RGB, Luma, DPX and Tiff DPX. This workflow is built on some of the flags developed by the Media Area. This includes the '--all' flag, originally an idea suggested by [NYPL](https://www.nypl.org/), more details in the [Encoding]() section below.


This case study is broken into the stages our encoding workflow follows and the Media Area tools we use to achieve our goals. We have four distinct stages:
* Server configuration
* Image sequence assessment
* Encoding the image sequence
* Encoding log assessments
* FFV1 MKV validation

### Server configuration
To encode our DPX and TIFF sequences we have a single server that completes this work for all our different NAS storage paths.

When encoding 2K RGB we generally reach 4-5 FPS from FFmpeg encoding on the lower machine. Now running 4K scans it's often 1 FPS or less on the top machine.
