Hi Team,
Ok, So I understand that ffmpeg doesnt supports HDR encoding. to answer the
question about input format, we dont have any strict definition on input
format it can be anything a simple mp4 video downloaded from youtube or a
raw MXF content straight out of studio.

Are you guys aware of any tools free or commercial in the market that can
independently or work in conjuction with other tools to generate HDR
encoded 4K content?
