I went through all codecs and put them into five basic categories: 1. JPEG range only 2. MPEG range only 3. Explicitly tagged 4. Broken (codec supports both but encoder ignores tags) 5. N/A (headerless or pseudo-formats) Filters in category 5 remain untouched. The rest gain an explicit assignment of their supported color ranges, with codecs in category 4 being set to MPEG-only for safety. It might be considered redundant to distinguish between 0 (category 5) and MPEG+JPEG (category 3), but in doing so we effectively communicate that we can guarantee that these tags will be encoded, which is distinct from the situation where there are some codecs that simply don't have tagging or implied semantics (e.g. rawvideo). A full list of codecs follows: JPEG range only: - amv - roqvideo MPEG range only: - asv1, asv2 - avui - cfhd - cljr - dnxhd - dvvideo - ffv1 - flv - h261, h263, h263p - {h263,vp8}_v4l2m2m - huffyuv, ffvhuff - jpeg2000 - libopenjpeg - libtheora - libwebp, libwebp_anim - libx262 - libxavs, libxavs2 - libxvid - mpeg1video, mpeg2video - mpeg2_qsv - mpeg2_vaapi - mpeg4, msmpeg4, msmpeg4v2, wmv1, wmv2 - mpeg4_omx - prores, prores_aw, prores_ks - rv10, rv20 - snow - speedhq - svq1 - tiff - utvideo Explicitly tagged (MPEG/JPEG): - {av1,h264,hevc}_nvenc - {av1,h264,hevc}_vaapi - {av1,h264,hevc,vp8,vp9,mpeg4}_mediacodec - {av1,h264,hevc,vp9}_qsv - h264_amf - {h264,hevc,prores}_videotoolbox - libaom-av1 - libkvazaar - libopenh264 - librav1e - libsvtav1 - libvpx, libvpx-vp9 - libx264 - libx265 - ljpeg - mjpeg - vc2 Broken (encoder ignores tags): - {av1,hevc}_amf - {h264,hevc,mpeg4}_v4l2m2m - h264_omx - libxeve - magicyuv - {vp8,vp9,mjpeg}_vaapi N/A: - ayuv, yuv4, y41p, v308, v210, v410, v408 (headerless) - pgmyuv (headerless) - rawvideo, bitpacked (headerless) - vnull, wrapped_avframe (pseudocodecs) |

FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
Libraries
libavcodec
provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.libavformat
implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.libavutil
includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.libavfilter
provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.libavdevice
provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.libswresample
implements audio mixing and resampling routines.libswscale
implements color conversion and scaling routines.
Tools
- ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
- ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
- ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
- Additional small tools such as
aviocat
,ismindex
andqt-faststart
.
