I think this actually could be possible. If you ignore the two least significant bits, then the image would still look correct, just lacking precision. Looking at the source code here, I see that PRORES_BITS_PER_SAMPLE is defined as 10. So it sounds like ffmpeg simply decodes all ProRes as 10-bit. I would like to request the option to decode ProRes with 12-bit precision, but unfortunately I do not have any programming knowledge to contribute. https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavcodec/proresdsp.h <https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavcodec/proresdsp.h> Sample footage is here if anybody is interested: http://www.arri.com/camera/alexa/learn/alexa_sample_footage/ _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
