Last year I had introduced a thread about an issue where
Prores 444 quicktime movies created with ffmpeg and the
prores_kostya codec were failing to be identified as 444
by the Apple Quicktime player.



Where you able to test a sample that shows if Chroma
subsampling is done correctly or not?
I don't think decoding can work at all if the decoder
(QuickTime) does not (internally) detect the right
colourspace (444).



I was not aware that the image needed to be tested. However as near as I can tell, the image quality does seem to indicate that it is being created using 444 (using a gradient that indicates banding more predominantly when 422). As far as I know, the problem was all about the fourCC not being set correctly.
