But let me try it differently:
You have an input file with a logarithmic
colour space that is not supported by FFmpeg.
If you are sure that you know what you are
doing, you can of course use FFmpeg to
compress your raw data (I believe ffv1 was
tested much better already but this is not
really related). But while the data will
still be identical the colourspace will
be linear because FFmpeg only supports
linear colourspaces. So you will will have
to "know" that the actual content is
logarithmic when you use it again (or
write the transfer information when
creating the file).
yes that is what I am planing to do.
Additional:
I tested a LOG C ARRI ProRes444 file (logarithmic values) to convert it
to a linear ffvhuff.
For that I used a specific LUT file from ARRI and the 3dlut videofiler.
That works good.
ffmpegnew -i "I:\ARRI SAMPLE FILES\J001C048_140110_R6MS.avi" -vf
"format=pix_fmts=rgb48,
lut3d=file=AlexaV3_K1S1_LogC2Video_Rec709_EE_davinci3d.cube" -vcodec
ffvhuff -pix_fmt yuv444p10le -acodec copy "I:\ARRI SAMPLE
FILES\J001C048_140110_R6MS_corrected.avi"
So, if I can readout the information that the input video file or input
DPX file has logarithmic values I can
a) keep the logarithmic encoding in the ffv1 archive file and save the
metadata information in an external file/database or
b) I decide to linearize it with LUT and 3dlut filter to have a
linearized master in the archive beneath the original DPX file of course.
But, the readout of the metadata has to be made with mediainfo at this
time. It would be very useful if FFmpeg would get a more detailed
metadata readout function for DPX files.
At least for readout of the "logaritmic/linear" information and the
FrameRate information -> FFmpeg always "thinks" that the fps of my DPX
files ar 25fps.
There exist one DPX metadata reader/editor only for MAC OS.
Which this tool I checked the FrameRate values in the DPX: most DPX had
no value written, so ffmpeg GUESSES the fps I think.
One DPX had the value 24fps, but FFmpeg also showed me "25fps".
Anyhow: I am not shure if this metadata reader is THE reference
application for DPX. :/ I just mentioned it that there are more
informations in the DPX than ffprobe is able to show me.
