I haven't tried it myself, but actually logarithmic should be stored in
FFV1 as-is.
The context how to interpret the color information is currently not
automatically stored, and would therefore have to be provided manually
when re-transcoding, or when playing back.

Has anyone tested this yet?


Kind regards,
