I'm not aware of a value to specify in the ACLR atom for unspecified -
I could guess at a value of 0 but that is pure speculation, Avid
directly (or via the official QuickTime codecs) only ever uses the
values of 1 or 2 from what I can see.

Patch yes I can do that, should this be a simple if statement modification e.g.

    if (track->enc->color_range == AVCOL_RANGE_MPEG || /* Legal range
(16-235) */
        track->enc->color_range == AVCOL_RANGE_UNSPECIFIED) {
        avio_wb32(pb, 1); /* Corresponds to 709 in official encoder */
    } else { /* Full range (0-255) */
        avio_wb32(pb, 2); /* Corresponds to RGB in official encoder */
    }

or does ffmpeg favor a switch/multiple if to handle each of the cases?

I'm not sure what you mean, in this case the atom being written is
specific to certain codecs (although currently ffmpeg only does this
for DNxHD)

Thanks
