Missing colorspace/bit depth from DPX/TIFF in Matroska

[kieranjol]

Hi,

I rewrapped some DPX and TIFF files to MAtroska. I am uploading two files that were created with these command lines. $ ./ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -c:v tiff -compression_algo raw -y -vframes 1 1_fr_tiff.mkv $ ./ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -c:v dpx -y -t 1 1_dpx.mkv

I wonder if a deeper probe is needed as there is no bit depth or colorspace information in mediainfo.

$ mediainfo '/home/kieranjol/tests/bla/1_fr_dpx.mkv' '/home/kieranjol/tests/bla/1_fr_tiff.mkv'

Exactly, I need to map the "dpx " CodecID from AVI (!!!) to DPX parser, same for TIFF + parsing the private data "V_QUICKTIME" (not yet parsed). Note difficult, but not yet implemented.

[kieranjol]

ha wow, i'd love to know who took the time to map DPX to AVI. Anyhow this would ve great to have implemented. I'm posting to cellar about this file format combination now as well..

[JeromeMartinez]

Right, maybe is worth it to just map V_DPX and V_TIFF :).

[JeromeMartinez]

That is range, color info, SMPTE 0110 timecode, alternate frame rate from television header.

Ho, interesting to use latest FFmpeg for having a more precise MKV!
