Hi,

>> So, is the file now "AV_PIX_FMT_YUVJ420P" or "AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P + set
>> color_range"?

Obviously those names are not relevant until the file meets the av* tools, but 
they are the same formats. I think yuvj420p was meant to be a separate variant 
of yuv420p that was not broadcast safe, from ccd sources early on, but since 
everything is digital nowadays and powerful enough to shift if necessary.

setrange affects the frames, not any end result SPS i think. Leaving it out 
doesn’t set the parameters? Does it convert to limited range by default?

Also, what are some of the benefits of reencoding footage for archival? I can 
maybe think of being able to detect partial corruption and possibly a increase 
in data/bitrate, but not much else.
