New description:
Summary of the bug:
When invoking FFmpeg with `-noautorotate -display_rotation 0` using a JPEG
input that contains `Orientation` EXIF metadata tag written to an MP4
output, the output will have a display_matrix indicating a rotation
starting with FFmpeg 7.1. It is expected that the output will not be
physically rotated and not contain any display_matrix. The issue doesn't
occur with FFmpeg 7.0 where the output correctly doesn't have a
display_matrix
How to reproduce:
Use attached test file (1920x1080 JPEG image with Orientation=6 in EXIF
metadata (rotated 90 degs CCW)
{{{
ffmpeg -noautorotate -display_rotation 0 -i test_image_rotated.jpg
output.mp4
}}}
