As well as format normalization (to have less mixed codecs).

I agree that format normalization towards a loss-less codec ensures that content will be accessible now and in the future in a more reliable way. Keeping multiple codecs requires maintenance workload for multiple decoders.

Back to the original topic of preserving color metadata: I also stumbled over this issue and if I remember correctly there have been multiple attempts to fix this but unfortunately none of them got enough attraction / guidance to be accepted into the FFmpeg code-base.

For example:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-February/225512.html
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-May/230139.html

Luckily in my workflows I have all the properties in some "media format" parameter-set besides the media file so I just manually add the right flags on the encoder side instead of depending on them being forwarded correctly.

Regards,
Tobias
