Thinking RGB would be the remedy for everything is simply a bit naive (no offense intended), because even RGB may (quite likely) not be one and the same in any given case.
No offense taken. I'm thinking in more of an ideal sense in the far future, where monitors and TVs are a near commodity and calibrated to the same precise standard, where memory and bandwidth issues are a relic of the past, where operating systems too, agree on a unified colour space standard. If I may be so brave, I think the colour format of the future could be something as simple as 64 bit RGB (16 bits each for R, G, B, and A) to allow for great dynamic contrast (super bright displays!). No conversion to and from YUV necessary, either for the display device or for the h266 (well h292 by then!) compression. And no chroma subsampling, haha. Great for developers, video content creators, and end users alike. Everything is compatible with everything else instantly. Maybe I'm still naive, but that's the hope and the vision. Simplify everything as much as can be, but no further. Think of the time saved if nothing else ;) Dan _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
