Can we define ffmpeg standards for playback, including color space conversion. The default color space for ffmpeg is bt601, which is not typically what we are all using any more, but there are a number of conversion options that we should be considering. Its fairly typical to see the -vf "colormatrix=bt601:bt709" flag in conversions. This is an 8-bit color space conversion, there is apparently a better option, see: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/colorspace
It would be great to have well documented ffmpeg encoding flags that satisfy:
- Color fidelity.
- Ability to reasonably single step forwards and backwards.
- File size
