Can HDR support be added to the ffmpeg-plugin?

[five82]

Can the -hdr flag be added to the ffmpeg-plugin? I see references to it in old ffmpeg upstream patches but it was never added to the plugin here. Thanks.

Hi Jing @jsunintel , could you help with this?

[jsunintel]

No, we can't do that yet. The FFmpeg community is against how we are implementing the HDR feature in SVT HEVC lib, and that is not changed.

Hi @five82, to be clear, you were asking adding HDR to ffmpeg plugin in this repo, right? Or to the upstream patch?

[five82]

Hi @tianjunwork, it was for the ffmpeg plugin in this repo. Thanks.

Hi Jing @jsunintel, do you think we can just add HDR for our own ffmpeg plugin?

[tianjunwork]

Hi @five82, SVT-HEVC -hdr only signals HDR10 input, does this fit your needs? If so, we can quickly expose it in the ffmpeg plugin.
If the ask is to support other formats of HDR, that is a more stretching goal.

Exposing the -hdr flag to allow HDR10 input only is fine. Thanks again @tianjunwork.
