Oh, and yes: absolutely correct! Color information is gone.
Is there any way that this kind of metadata can also be transferred -

I raised this before and I think you have to set the output values
manually. I found this when Transcoding from mov to mkv, colour values were
lost.
Tobias's advice here still stands I think
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2018-July/040717.html

I remember seeing this back then. I'll read it again. Thanks for pointing it out Kieran!

The mentioned patch "Pass colour range from source to sink" (https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-February/225512.html) by Philip Langdale sounds to me like it would enable this.

"However, we don't support a way to pass it through filter chains and
'ffmpeg' does not make any attempt to set it on the encoder.

This set of changes introduces a way to do this, by defining a new
filter link property, and allowing it to be set on a buffersrc and
read back from a buffersink."

From taking a quick peek at the related thread(s), it looks like Philip never replied to Michael's questions/comments.
Does anyone know what happened to this idea/feature/patch?



Thanks in advance!
Peter
