Oh, my mistake. I suppose I was asking for YUV (YCrCb) but since the filter was 
called 'xyz2rgb' I said RGB instead. The issue of YCrCb vs RGB encoding is 
important but ffmpeg usually gets it right, so I was focussed on converting 
from the XYZ (really X'Y'Z') primaries and gamma to the Rec709 equivalents.


"Snapshots" vs "Releases" isn't an obvious distinction to me. "Releases" is 
clear but "Snapshots" is not.
"Daily Build" vs "Production Build" is more common terminology in the VFX 
software world I am familiar with, and seems more readily obvious.

The page you linked (https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/) has some font size hierarchy 
issues that cause your instructions ("FFmpeg developers strongly encourage all 
users to use a current snapshot build instead of a release build.") to get 
overlooked.

That instructions should be in a larger font size and could also be simplified: 
"We strongly encourage all users to use a current snapshot build instead of a 
release build." or "All uses are recommended to use the current snapshot build 
instead of the release build."
With the current small font size and my dyslexia, I had misread the line to say 
"FFmpeg developers are strongly encouraged to use a current snapshot build 
instead of a release build." I wasn't a developer so I opted for the release 
build.

Lastly, there should be column headings over the Snapshot/Daily Build column 
and Release Build column. It is not immediately obvious that the large green 
link above the words "More ffmpeg snapshots" is the snapshot link and that the 
large green link above the words "More ffmpeg releases" is the release link. 
Sure I can use reasoning to figure it out, but you asked for more optimized 
wording. There should be a heading in font size larger than the links, ABOVE 
the links. The links should probably be reduced in font size so there isn't a 
general font size escalation.
