Hi Giovara, SVT HEVC has the interface to enable/disable sending a vui structure in the HEVC bitstream, but supports no interface for setting the color properties before encoding yet. I will be opening an issue in SVT HEVC github asking if they have plans to add such feature, and will keep you posted. In the meantime, I think it is not blocking the first version of this plugin’s merging , is it?

For reference this was the message on the mailing list https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2019-March/240663.html Could you please elaborate your request? What is the preservation for and how is it expected to work? Yes of course, when you encode an HEVC stream you should be able to signal how the color properties of the video buffers should be rendered. This is usually conveyed with three parameters, the matrix coefficients, the color primaries and the transfer characteristics. Without such information, the data stored in the video may be interpreted differently and often incorrectly by modern video players, causing image degradation, wrong rendering and off colors. For HEVC they are usually expressed in the stream itself, under the VUI, and it is kinda expected that modern encoder allow to set them to any of the applicable values. In ffmpeg-land, they are represented by the colorspace, color_primaries and color_transfer options in AVCodecContext and carried over through the whole video processing. -- Vittorio _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
