Thanks for the write up. I think you might be happy to hear that ffmpeg has scene detection built in. But you might be unhappy given how much work you did. In my experience it works pretty well.

An upscale pipeline seems like the next job, by the way! you can pull a lot of quality out of those old videos with modern tools. Enjoy.

Thanks for the tip! Part of the issue of automated scene detection was that there isn't any way to get the other metadata, such as who is in the scene or the date.

But I could have probably auto split the entire file at the start then just do that metadata per file. Although I found being able watch the entire video was quite nice.

Yeah I can imagine. I'd want to watch too.
