Call me skeptical.

The reason is that FFMPEG's colour handling was pretty horrible last
time I looked. This is legacy historical code issues, but they have
prevailed up until recently. There are a few issues on the FFMPEG
tracker regarding the colour handling.

I'd be interested to see if gamuts other than REC.709 based are:
  1. Correctly encoded to the stream.
  2. Correctly decoded from the stream.

The only workaround I was able to achieve was to manually handle the
transform from the RGB encoding to the YCbCr domain, then manually
encoding that. Even after all of that, the tagging wasn't handled
correctly on FFMPEG's side IIRC.

Wise folks like Kevin Wheatley can probably offer a little more
insight here, given I believe he has mucked with the transfer function
/ coefficients nightmare in FFMPEG previously.

With respect,
TJS
