Long time ago since I last dealt with this <https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170306>. It's all about BT.601 (≤576p) v.s BT.709 (>576p), so for this conversion from RGB to YUV you'll also need a colourmatrix conversion. I'm no expert, but these are my observations:
ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x576,format=rgb24" --> R=25,G=74,B=15 (0x194a0f) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x576[,format=yuv420p]" --> R=25,G=74,B=14 (0x194a0e) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x576,format=yuv444p" --> R=25,G=74,B=14 (0x194a0e) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x576,format=rgb24" --> R=25,G=190,B=15 (0x19be0f) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x576[,format=yuv420p]" --> R=25,G=190,B=16 (0x19be10) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x576,format=yuv444p" --> R=25,G=190,B=16 (0x19be10) I know too little about this for an explanation on why Blue is off by 1. ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578,format=rgb24" --> R=25,G=74,B=15 (0x194a0f) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578[,format=yuv420p]" --> R=22,G=65,B=12 (0x16410c) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578,format=yuv444p" --> R=22,G=65,B=12 (0x16410c) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578[,format=yuv420p],scale=out_color_matrix=bt709" --> R=23,G=72,B=11 (0x17480b) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578,format=yuv444p,scale=out_color_matrix=bt709" --> R=25,G=74,B=15 (0x194a0f) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x578,format=rgb24" --> R=25,G=190,B=15 (0x19be0f) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x578[,format=yuv420p]" --> R=14,G=164,B=11 (0x0ea40b) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x578,format=yuv444p" --> R=14,G=164,B=11 (0x0ea40b) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x578[,format=yuv420p],scale=out_color_matrix=bt709" --> R=23,G=189,B=14 (0x17bd0e) ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x19be0f:s=400x578,format=yuv444p,scale=out_color_matrix=bt709" --> R=26,G=189,B=15 (0x1abd0f) It's not exactly the same colour, but it's the closest you'll get. I've also tried zscale, but with ffplay it fails with the following error-message: ffplay -f lavfi "color=0x194a0f:s=400x578,format=yuv444p,zscale=m=709" [Parsed_zscale_2 @ 0359d6c0] code 3074: no path between colorspaces With FFmpeg, creating a temp-file, zscale does work: ffmpeg -i PLdsb.png -t 5 -vf "zscale=m=709" -c:v libx264 -crf 0 PLdsb_zscale-bt709.mp4 ffplay PLdsb_zscale-bt709.mp4 --> R=24,G=74,B=14 (0x184a0e) | R=25,G=190,B=14 (0x19be0e) Again, not exactly the same colour, but very close.

It's kind of like meta-data. Your media player needs to support it to display the correct colours. MediaInfo can show you this, like for instance: Color range : Full Matrix coefficients : BT.709 ffmpeg -i PLdsb.png -t 5 -color_range tv -colorspace bt470bg -c:v libx264 -crf 0 PLdsb_vui-tv601.mp4 ffplay PLdsb_vui-tv601.mp4 --> R=22,G=65,B=12 (0x16410c) | R=14,G=164,B=11 (0x0ea40b) mpc-hc PLdsb_vui-tv601.mp4 --> R=25,G=74,B=14 (0x194a0e) | R=25,G=190,B=16 (0x19be10) If you insist on using these VUI options, then in contrast to what you might expect (PC,BT.709) it's actually TV,BT.601 that has the expected result. Welcome to the wonderful world of video conversions.

Do you have any idea how rude and condescending your posts are? Disgraceful! Especially for an FFmpeg-developer. Next time please refrain from posting unless you have actually something useful and helpful to add! -- Reino _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
