Hello,

I'm cc'ing Vittorio as I don't think that he's subscribed to the list but
he's contributed to dpxenc.c and recent colorspace filters. The same with
Kate Murray from the Library of Congress who knows a lot more about DPX
than me. Apologies if this is inappropriate.

I mostly based this patch on other ffmpeg encoders, such as pncenc.c. I'm
not really a C coder, I'm a moving image archivist who needs to be able to
specify colour metadata in DPX for various workflows. Please excuse my
ignorance/mistakes.

This patch adds documentation and two command line options for the DPX
encoder:
-trc (Transfer Characteristics) and -clr (Colorimetric Specification),
which set colour metadata values in a DPX file. Currently these are
hardcoded to always be 2, aka Linear. Ticket #6023 is related to this, but
there have also been many mailing list posts about this issue:
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2015-March/025630.html
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2015-December/029456.html

I've kept the default values as 2 (Linear) as this is what was originally
in dpxenc, but I'm not sure of the value of this really. I think that
there's more value in a default of 0 (User-defined) which would just leave
the values unspecified. Or perhaps no value at all! The initial default of
2 for colorimetric was potentially useless as 2 is listed as 'Not
applicable' for colorimetric specification in SMPTE 268M-2003.

The values for each of these options are the integers listed in the SMPTE
standards doc:
https://web.archive.org/web/20050706060025/http://www.smpte.org/smpte_store/standards/pdf/s268m.pdf

Initially I just had one argument that set the Transfer Characteristic and
Colorimetric Specification to the same value, but perhaps some use cases
could require that these values  be different? I'm not sure if they ever
would. I have never seen real world files that suggest this but I can edit
this if it seems weird.

Some of the values from 0-12 are listed as 'Not applicable' for the
colorimetric specification, but I didn't know how to specify just those
numbers (0-1, 4-10) in the patch. Perhaps it's OK to leave it as is,
otherwise hopefully someone can point me to similar code that I can learn
from. Again, apologies for my ignorance.

I'm attaching the patch and pasting it here too:
