[FFmpeg-user] Questions about readout important metadata from DPX files ("logarthmic/linear") and recreate DPX with same metadata

Indeed, ffmpeg framemd5 is my only possibility to check lossless 
transcodings. A BIG THANK YOU FOR THAT!
Otherwise I could only test it to make it visually with e.g After 
effects overlay the transcoded video to the original and make a 
DIFFERENCE/DELTA video... (btw: some videotechnicians do that, because 
they dont know about ffmpeg or framemd5 ;)
With the framemd5 checksum I can check many "Lossless" transcoders if 
they do their job correct when using lossless codecs, and I was 
wondering how many "professional" transcoders are destroying the video 
when transcoding from lossless formats like uncompressed 4:2:2 10bit 
(v210) to the same output format (v210) (because of an internal 
YUV422->RGB blowup I guess).
